[NCUC-DISCUSS] Fwd: Community Leadership Calls with Göran Marby

[Kathy Kleiman]

Hi Farzi,

The problem happens when someone else registers what you feel is your 
community's name, your region's name, or you people's name. From 
everything I've seen, it's far easier to apply upfront than to fight for 
years after someone else does (this fight is also tremendously expensive).

But that's not my decision to make - it's the decision of the 
communities. If they don't have the information, they don't have any 
options.  At the end of the day, when all the i's are dotted and the t's 
are crossed, the future rounds of new gTLDs are supposed to provide 
financial and application assistance to those communities who need and 
want it.

I don't think it's a big lift for us to encourage ICANN to share 
information about new gTLDs with communities around the world, and 
support members who want to help get the word out to their communities.

Hope all is well,

Kathy
