Dear All, I am opting to respond to one of the mails on this subject that reached me. Since, I am traveling this week, I have limited time to catch up on the other responses. The attachment is a visual on the ccTLDs that has been useful for me while doing some discussions on geopolitics in a limited manner. ccTLDs are highly prone to using "Domain Hack" techniques. For example: inter.net dates back to 1992. www.cou.ch : Is a good choice for a couch vendor for branding but it has .ch www.mydoma.in : Is a common idea in India. coffeehou.se : Is a catchy name for a Coffee Shop ccTLD would inject more brand information inside the web address to educate visitors more about the brand. Domain hack is an excellent way to be memorable and interesting. Certain ccTLDs are banned by certain countries. GEOPOLITICS ? Also, the trend is that a .com domain name is purchased before registering a ccTLD domain name. Your thoughts on these observations please. Sincerely, Gopal T V 0 9840121302 https://vidwan.inflibnet.ac.in/profile/57545 https://www.facebook.com/gopal.tadepalli PS: I will try to catch up on 9 May 2022. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Dr. T V Gopal Professor Department of Computer Science and Engineering College of Engineering Anna University Chennai - 600 025, INDIA Ph : (Off) 22351723 Extn. 3340 (Res) 24454753 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ On 2022-05-04 14:06, John McCormac via CPWG wrote:

ICANN hasn't made a bad effort of informing the public of the differences between Gs and CCs, it has made no effort at all. Not even the minimum -- a gap analysis that clearly indicates the policy differences between ICANN and the various CC registries. If it does exist it's well buried.
Perhaps this remains a public information mandate which ALAC could advocate needs to be resourced. Never too late. It would be interesting to see such an analysis, Evan,
I was under the impression that an independent organisation like the Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network were going to undertake such study. I must admit I haven't followed this so closely - perhaps someone can enlighten us on this?
Seriously though, Christopher's idea of a statistics/economics department for ICANN is a good one as it might have prevented them making what can only be described as Astrological or Numerological "predictions" about the 2012 round.
I'm not exactly sure about the gap analysis on policies as the gTLDs are typically global in nature and most ccTLDS are geographically limited and governed by local legislation. One of the big problems, as I remember from the .EU Sunrise fiasco was the difference in how business names (a "trading as" or "doing business as" name) were treated in law across the EU. Simple enough to sort out beforehand but it wasn't and it led to high levels of outright cybersquatting and rejected applications.
The registrants need simple and clear explanations of the differences rather than intricate explanations of policies. I've a rough schema in mind but haven't read all the policies.
