Re: [ga] Cairo DNSO GA meeting agenda

[bill@mail.nic.nu (J. William Semich)]

I was also at the Seoul meeting, and concur with Maruyama's views. In fact,
there were 5 people from one company, and 3 from another - all voting for c. 

Still too soon.

In addition, I personally beleive this is not an issue for ICANN at all -
unless it becoems anissue in the reation of new gTLDs (using
Internationalized character sets, for example).
