To facilitate and foster corporation among registry operators, ISPs, and other who deal with domain names on a regular basis, a discussion forum has been opened on this topic <http://forum.icann.org/lists/tld-acceptance/>. To join this discussion list, simply send a message to: <majordomo[at]icann.org> with the words "subscribe tld-acceptance" in the body of the message. Participation in this forum is open to any interested person. Kind regards, Glen de Saint Géry GNSO Secretariat gnso.secretariat@gnso.icann.org
