[ncdnhc-discuss] Competition and the ORG report

[Erick Iriarte]

Hi Milton

this text can be a recomendation for the new management organisation, and 
maybe is necessary to put in the main report.

The competition is important for the process of .org

I don't know but in the future only NGO's or similars.. can sell .ORG , but 
this is for the future when the new management organistarion start.
