Eric, Wale:
Thankyou for your interest and support.
In my experience, the main issue that is likely to arise is the claim that geographic names are not normally protected in any body of law, consequently are available for all to apply for as TLDs.
Obviously that is not my point of view, but the subgroup will have to address it.
It would be useful should you wish to join the group. I shall circulate the relevant information in due course. Meanwhile, I found it interesting to browse in here:
If other EURALO members are so moved, I would welcome comments on the draft policy outline.
Regards
