RE: [council] WIPO-II

[Alick Wilson <alick.wilson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Colleagues, I wonder if there is a case to be made for new sTLDs for
international intergovernmental organizations (say .igo) and countries (say
.country)?
 
While these would not deal directly with offending sites in the rest of the
gTLD namespace, it would at least provide a single official address for IGOs
and countries.
 
The concept could, of course, be extended to other sensitive types of name.
 
Am I right off track or does this have some merit?
 
Alick

All, 

Please find enclosed the letter and its annex from WIPO that we received
last week. 

I understand there were some technical issues with getting it on the
web-site but as soon as these are arranged it will go up, hopefully already
today. I would like to offer my excuses for that.

regards 

Paul
