Re: [lac-discuss-en] [At-Large] Fwd: ICANN News Alert -- Report: Supporting the Domain Name Industry in Underserved Regions
There were a couple of sessions on the topic in Singapore and a group of us
also met with ICANN senior management to discuss options.
At present the "system" is very much angled towards north American companies -
it doesn't work well for anyone else, which is part of the reason why there are
relatively few ICANN accredited registrars outside North America
It's not just an issue of the "South"

FYI. This would be of interest for those of us in the South. I know Evan and
Dev have always been close to this issue; it was a baseline for Summit I. Maybe
the ALAC would engage again and act appropriately.
