[CPWG] The MEAC gTLDs markets (why wait until next year?)

[Michele Neylon - Blacknight]

While I agree that the focus on the 3 Rs might be misplaced I’m not sure that it’s such a negative.
Wholesale registrars have resellers in pretty much every country and region. It’s not going to be economically to become accredited and carry gTLDs directly if you’re in a very small market. Conversely it’s not worth the investment for larger registrars to get directly accredited for many of the smaller or more complex ccTLDs.
ICANN, however, has always been fixated with the physical presence of registrars (and registries) in a particular market as if it was some kind of magical indicator.

Regards

Michele
