Misunderstanding of whether it is to be applied to gTLDs?

According to the KISA guy, they are going to confirm whether it is going
to be applied to gTLDs or not in Nov.

That's why I wrote in my previous email I tried to translate the letter
"to be politically correct". I just technically translate what they said in
the letter.

That's not sure yet.

Even though they might end up with that decision in Nov, are we supposed
to support KISA decision over gTLDs as well as ccTLDs if ICANN endorses
the current whois proposal?

Your personal talk with the guy does not confirm whether KISA or MIC
decided whether the letter would be applied to only .KR.
