Dear all<br>
<br>
In response to the question below, I would favour leaving this
recommendation in the Initial Report<br>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal"
style="color:black;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;margin-left:18.0pt;mso-list:l1
level1 lfo3"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">On page
17 (recommendations section of the report) two WT members
commented that they felt it was premature to include any
preliminary recommendation in the Initial Report on the topic
of non-capital city names. Do you support removing preliminary
recommendation 11 on treatment of non-capital city names? Or
do you favor leaving the recommendation in the report, noting
that it can be changed for the Final Report based on community
input and further discussion in the Work Track? Regardless of
whether the recommendation is kept or removed, there are two
questions for community input on this topic (e10 and e11)
included in the Initial Report, so the group can expect
additional community feedback through public comment to
support further deliberations.</span></li>
