<div><span></span>As a person who once worked in ccTLD while now in gTLD, I think what Erick and Martin were trying to argue is that the CWG has significantly neglected individual cc registry's comments. As they have described correctly, cc registries not only disagree with gs, but also disagree with each other. So they couldn't act collectively like the g registries have done (mostly via RySG). In practice, I guess not every single cc registry's comments were taken, some will complain they haven't been in engagement EQUALLY as the g registries. </div><div><br></div><div>Erick and Mrtin, please correct me if my understanding is wrong. </div><div><br></div><div>Jian</div>

and relatively little of this implicates ccTLDs.

(For many
of you, this must have seemed like an esoteric discussion. I’d say it was symptomatic of a fundamental issue that we are failing to address.)</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>

That is certainly not the case for ccTLDs, but
I got a lot of abuse for pointing this out. It only was resolved when the ICANN (ccNSO-focussed) secretariat was asked to clarify. In a post transition world, I’m not sure how easy it we will be able to draw on this experience and knowledge to back up a
point.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>

Especially a concern as the constituent parts of the GNSO are heavily policy
focussed. It will be so easy for the GNSO representatives in various discussions to focus on gTLD issues (ignoring that ccTLD delegations and redelegations are actually usually well outside an ICANNic framework) and misshape the discussion accordingly. </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>

way, in the ccTLD world, we need to be very cautious about not applying inappropriate blanket rules.)</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
