Single Registrant TLD

[Mary Wong]

Oh dear, now I'm (even more) puzzled and concerned by what's going on in the VI WG ...
 
Are there folks in the WG who think that the issue of whether Single Registrant TLDs *should* be permitted (i.e. a normative policy question) is at least partly dependent on whether members of particular Stakeholder Groups (in this case, NCSG) can *demonstrate* (a factual, not normative, question) whether there is PRESENT interest from its CURRENT membership in such a thing?
 
Or is this some attempt to "measure" whether the interest in Single Registrant TLDs is coming ONLY from the commercial (e.g. IP/brand, business) sectors?

Hi,

Just checking.

The contention by some on the VIWG has been that I am deluded when I argue that the NCSG, especially some of its institutional members have no interest in seeing Single Registrant TLD (.ngo for want of a better name) where the names could be distributed internally, without use of a registrar, to employees or members.

Can anyone confirm my delusion?  Are their institutional members who think this sort of thing should exist - even if their name in not a famous brand?

thanks

a.
