<html><body><span style="font-family:Verdana; color:#000000; font-size:10pt;"><div>One thing I have long wondered is why a ccTLD that is redelegated to commercial purpose is still managed under cover of ccTLD rules. I suspect there is an onion-like history to the matter, but I wonder if the number of such switches is going to accelerate. I have to imagine the public discussion over new gTLDs is giving a lot of CCTLD registries encouragement to draft the market motion.</div><div><br></div><div>I guess my question is: Is it likely the move from cc to more general purpose will accelerate?</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>Berard<br></div>

<br>
Here are the questions I wrote down during our meeting today. These were done on the fly some will obviously need some work. Please correct/amend/refine as necessary. There is some urgency for the GAC questions as that is tomorrow and it would be good if we could some questions to the GAC asap.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Stéphane<br>
<br>
For the ccNSO<br>
<br>
- A short explanation of how the 2 Councils work.<br>
<br>
- What are the ccNSO currently working on?<br>
<br>
- Does the ccNSO see value in meeting with the GNSO Council and if so, how can we maximise that value?<br>
<br>
- There are big changes to the current ICANN landscape coming, with respect to new gTLDs, what would the ccNSO's position be on cc operators that plan to run gTLDs?<br>
<br>
- How to deal with CWGs and should the recommendations <br>
<br>
For the GAC<br>
<br>
- Do we want to have a formal group formed between GAC and GNSO to discuss and <br>
<br>
- Should we work on finding a new liaison from the GAC to the GNSO ?<br>
<br>
- CWGs, what is the GAC's view on these and how should their recommendations be processed?<br>
