[ncdnhc-discuss] Re: Why is "Marketing ccTLDs as generics" on NC Agenda?

[Nilda Vany Martinez Grajales]

Milton:

1.  Two months ago I brought into the attention of the NC this issue (TLDs
not created by ICANN as .TRAVEL .KIDS, .GAMES...)
2.  Never I had received an answer about it in the NC list, however I have
received personal answers from members of different constituencies, but
because they are personal, then I don't publish them.
3.  This subject never was discussed neither put into a votation neither
have relationship with the resolution that NCDNHC passed f2f in
Montevideo.

So please, Milton, stop confusing people!

The idea, is that if the NC finds that is a subject important for them,
then make the proper consultation to their constituencies to make a
position statement, if not...then, I made my try.  And let me remember you
that when I brought into the attention of NC this issue, I made it as a
personal concern and exposed the possible sectors affected according to my
view

Best Regards
Vany
