[ncdnhc-discuss] Country names under .info

[Vany Martinez]

Raul:

Thank you fror bring this to our attention.

I have read the resolution made by the ICANN Board in
Montevideo.

Such resolution inidcates that following the next 30
days after the date of the issuance of such a
resolution, the President of the ICANN Board will
propose a plan to accomplish their resolution
regarding reservation of country and geographical
names both already registered and not registered yet.

Please read again

for clarification.


Now, my personal comments:

In a previous e-mail I have stated that I wasn't agree
with GAC intentions of reserving country names inside
.info to use at discretion of governments.

However, and watching the abuse that such names of
countries can be subjected, for example, that
companies registers such domain name with the only
goal to sell it later to a government (or worst, to
the best bidder!!!), then I prefer GAC approach
regarding this subject.  

Raul, again, thank you for bring this to our
attention.

Best Regards
Vany
