Thanks Jonathan but I have major problems with the new PTI Bylaws text
PTI is a service provider to the ccTLD Registry. The new text of Annex C is now
empowering PTI to interpret local laws for cTLDs and risks destabalising
existing registrants of current ccTLD Registries.
The new language proposed for Annex C are not acceptable IMHO they risk the
stable operation of ccTLD Registries and their ability to robustly serve their
customers.
This is a major change from the CWG proposal
Best
Paul
