<p class="MsoNormal">Good idea to start a thread on this, Javier. It sounds like two possible options are removing the paragraph or editing. Third option: It also sounds like some people (specifically Carlos and Christopher) want WT5 to address the issue of
if, when, and how specific interested parties, such as relevant government authorities, may apply for country and territory names. Do we want to open this further for discussion? Or consider this out of scope at this time?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If we don’t want to reopen the question too much, we could simply ask if there are any strong objections to removing the text.<o:p></o:p></p>
