Carlos Raul (GNSO):we dont need to cover all, but certainly we have advanced BEYOND ISO in real life Carlos Raul (GNSO):agree with Annebeth Annebeth Lange, Norid:What we are discussing is the use of country & territory names (originated from the ISO list) used as TLDs. Annebeth Lange, Norid:The AGB excluded c & t names in different versions from this round. So what will happen with these names in the future? My understanding is that our mandate is to try to make it easier to find out what to do in the future. Heather Forrest:I agree, Annebeth Nathalie Peregrine:Mary Uduma has joined the AC room Carlos Raul (GNSO):Annabeth, on the other hand the AGB, allthough prtecting country names, it did expand on geography.... Mary Uduma:Hello All, was in Argentina Embassy for visa application. I am very sorry for joining the call late Carlos Raul (GNSO):and thats what we have to deal with Annebeth Lange, Norid:Yes, Carlos, but we only deal with what is excluded as c & t names. Not all other geographical names that actually were allowed, even if some of them needed support or non-objection. Carlos Raul (GNSO):exatly, thats what i mean by boundaries and we have to make clear that we are on a narrower track (WIPO definition maybe) than the AGB, by recognizing the differences on both definitions Annebeth Lange, Norid:In my view the WIPO definition is not wide enough Annebeth Lange, Norid:Carlos, only AGB Module 2, 2.2.1.4.1 Treatment of Country or Territory Names Nathalie Peregrine:Marketa has joined the AC room Carlos Raul (GNSO):lets expand it then Annebeth Lange, Norid:I think the confusion is that in the definition in the position paper it says Section 2.2.4.1 - not 2.2.4.1.1 Annebeth Lange, Norid:It is only 2.2.4.1.1 that should be included in our mandate and definition Heather Forrest:Annebeth - I see your hand, please speak after Olga Heather Forrest:Quite right Annebeth Cheryl Langdon-Orr:Good Call thanks everyoine Bye for now Carlos Raul (GNSO):6am in Costa Rica now Carlos Raul (GNSO):dont know if I cna go to bed again Cheryl Langdon-Orr:reasonable time all round :) Maxim Alzoba (FAITID) 2:3pm , but public holidays in Moscow Cheryl Langdon-Orr:Bye talk in 14 days then...
