Avri raises some good points about the potential breadth of what we may be saying to the CCSO/GAC. This seems to be a function of us wanting to leave the tough questions to the CCSO/GAC! Our approach could be turned around. Assumption In the absence of an ICANN policy there will be NO IDN names reserved in the CC space. They will ALL be available to any applicant via our new process in the g space. The task before ICANN is to create a reserved list/allocation for CC related IDNS - or not. Conclusion and a key question The question should be therefore who serves the public interest best with respect to CC related IDNS? A CC registry/Government or any one at all? If we can answer this question, - with criteria to assess the public interest - we will perhaps advance the debate without needing to address issues of volume. Philip
