<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
<p>Thank you Peter ... extremely helpful. I assume you also have counted those in LACTLD?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>So ... 96 ccTLDs could POTENTIALLY not recognize the ccNSO in any future organizational arrangement involving the ccNSO as is being suggested here.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>That is not insubstantial.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I can also imagine that when you factor those that are Government affiliated within these 96 ccTLDs, the issues become quite complex as they relate to these discussions.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I wonder if this is the nexus for GAC involvement in future organizational arrangements ...
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>However that will still POTENTIALLY leave some ccTLDs out of the future arrangements being considered here, save for coercing them into joining either the ccNSO or the regional orgs.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Any thoughts?<o:p></o:p></p>
