Re: [ga] Nomination for representative to the NC Review TF - Eric Dierker (fwd)

[Stefan Probst <stefan.probst@gmx.net>]

Dear Jeff,

Eric might be right now working with the registry people. He might work 
with them on policy or technics. I do not know and am open for your or his 
explanations.
I was only writing against the claim in the original post about the "up and 
coming launching of the .VN ccTLD". And this is plain wrong. The .vn ccTLD 
is up and running since years. And without some kind of registry, there 
wouldn't be any registrations in the .vn domain, which is of course also wrong.
This does not say anything about the other qualifications etc. and I do not 
say anything about that. If my post was perceived as anything against Eric, 
then this perception was wrong. I was only posting concerning the claim 
about the .vn ccTLD.

Several registrars are interested in the .vn domain. Register.com contacted 
me indirectly some months ago, whether I could introduce them....
Frankly, I think this is too early, and the Vietnamese have to decide first 
by themselves, what they want.

I think, the .vn registry needs first and foremost a clear policy. And in 
fact not only about the domains, but about hosting etc. This however is 
beyond their authority. The technicalities come only after that. And IMHO, 
as long as it is difficult for Vietnamese to sign up for a .vn domain (e.g. 
because they cannot use credit cards),. then I for myself am reluctant to 
open up that door for outsiders.

Rgds,
Stefan
