[NCUC-DISCUSS] Net of Rights

Sat Mar 5 11:41:20 CET 2016

Alac has been working on subtitles, I was on a meeting where they had a 
pretty successful demo during a Naralo meeting, perhaps you should talk 
to Glenn Mc Knight, it would be handy from an ICANN perspective if you 
used a congruent platform....
