[ncdnhc-discuss] Need guidance on the Names Council GAC-country namesresolution

[Nilda Vany Martinez Grajales]

Hi Milton:

I support your amendment proposal since is the spirit of the amendment
proposal I made initially to the first version of such resolution which
you can find below:

"4.  The DNSO makes a call to ICANN Board and the GAC to all work
together in order to achieve a position regarding
country and geographical names that benefits both countries and domain
name registrants that would have legimit uses of a domain name that
coincides with such country and/or geographical names

5.  once achieved such a position, send it to WIPO as the
Results of such work in behalf of ICANN/DNSO/GAC for consideration of
WIPO for future WIPO works regarding this issue."
