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

[Nilda Vany Martinez Grajales]

Hi Barbara:

Thanks for asking.  As I answered to Milton in my e-mail replying to
him...

http://www.icann-ncc.org/pipermail/discuss/2001-October/000333.html

"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
