<DIV>Oh dear, now I'm (even more) puzzled and concerned by what's going on in the VI WG ...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Are there folks in the WG who think that the issue of whether Single Registrant TLDs *should* be permitted (i.e. a normative policy question) is at least partly dependent on whether members of particular Stakeholder Groups (in this case, NCSG) can *demonstrate* (a factual, not normative, question) whether there is PRESENT interest from its CURRENT membership in such a thing?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Or is this some attempt to "measure" whether the interest in Single Registrant TLDs is coming ONLY from the commercial (e.g. IP/brand, business) sectors?</DIV>

<TD>Single Registrant TLD</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>Hi,<BR><BR>Just checking.<BR><BR>The contention by some on the VIWG has been that I am deluded when I argue that the NCSG, especially some of its institutional members have no interest in seeing Single Registrant TLD (.ngo for want of a better name) where the names could be distributed internally, without use of a registrar, to employees or members.<BR><BR>Can anyone confirm my delusion? Are their institutional members who think this sort of thing should exist - even if their name in not a famous brand?<BR><BR>thanks<BR><BR>a.<BR></DIV></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><BR>
