Dear Danny,
This is very useful info. Another possible interesting
point..
Diplo is currently running a project on Roma (Gypsies)
Diplomacy. One of the slogans that we have been using
is "virtual diplomacy for a virtual nation".
"Virtual diplomacy" = using ICT/Internet to corodinate
various Roma initiatives. "Virtual nation" = the Roma
do not occupy or claim any territory (a key elements
in traditional nation-building movements); at the same
time they have distinctive ethnic characteristics and
differences that could qualify them as a nation (e.g.
language, culture, shared origins and
shared history of discrimination).
In June 2005, at the beginning of the Roma programme,
I wanted to assign course participants the task to
develop a strategy for creating a "Roma domain"
(rom?). Since they are a "virtual nation" they will
have to take gTLD. June was not the best timing
because of the "xxx" debate.
I will be meeting our Roma group on Thursday. What
could you suggest as the next step? Can we give them
the task to create a strategy to develop a gTLD for
Roma? I do not see any controversy. On the contrary,
it could be one widely supported gTLD.
