2. GAC proposal

Discussion followed on dot info in response to the recent GAC proposal
whereby governments expressed a desire to own country.info names and more.
It was noted a recent WIPO study had specifically studied the problems in
reserving geographical names and chose to make no recommendation because of
the uncertainty and overlap issues. The NC chair said he would consider the
matter and propose action in the short term for the NC.
