[ncdnhc-discuss] draft resolution on Intellectual Property and Top-Level Domains

[Nilda Vany Martinez Grajales]

Hi Dany , Derek and all:

I am agree also.


Not only because they are technical enabled is enough reason to delegate a new TLD
to applicants.
The Comittee that reviewed all applications and their comments reflected that they
wasn't only looking for technical enabled Registries.  They took in count also
other aspects, they made their evaluation and comments and the ICANN Board was very
wise in listen the reasons given in such a report in Marina del Rey the past year.

Best Regards
Vany
