Re: [cctld-discuss] Re: [council] IANA Report on the .pn Top-Level Domain

Elisabeth,

I would hope that this is not the case.  ICANN has been established as a
consultative botton-up organisation and should consult before acting.  In this
case it probably will not matter as there is probably consensus that the
decision is a correct one - but in future cases this may not be the situation. 
I would not like ICANN to damage its credibility with a key component (the
ccTLDs) of the organisation (and a proposed key funder).
