RE: [ga] Status of the Review Task Force


I believe that 

1. icann should interact with  ccTLDs.
2. ccTLDs should inteact with ICANN.

The Internet is truly global. Both technicasl coordination and model
policy should be as consistent as possible.

This does not mean that "ICANN rules".

Here's an example, ICANN has UDRP, ccTLDs have, or will have "Local
DRP". Interaction will assure that each TLD has SOME kind of dispute
resolution policy, and that such policy is applied fairly.

Also, interaction and consultation between various constituencies and
Sos facilitates the security and stability of the global Internet

Actually, I kind of wonder
1. why icann should have ANY say over ccTLDs?
2. why ccTLDs should have ANY say over ICANN?
