[ncdnhc-discuss] TLDs not created by ICANN: the purposes of raising concerns

[Barbara Simons]

Dear Vany,
Are you representing the ncdnhc constituency in this,
or are you expressing your own opinion?  If you are
representing us, could you please provide us with some
reference, eg a vote, whereby the constituency has
demonstrated that we share your concerns?
Thanks.
Barbara
