[ga] Fwd: .aero reconsideration request

[Jefsey Morfin <jefsey@wanadoo.fr>]

FYI. I confirm the positions expressed in this mail by Amadeu and Andy. 
Similar positions by other Directors. Vint had passed my concerns to 
Stuart. Edward could you pass on us Stuart responses link as the attitude 
you present seems detrimental to the ICANN.

I note that this situation is a lesson from the Proof of Concept TLD round. 
A sensible proof of concept would have been the DNSO to select the 
aeronautical world and chose ".aero" as an sTLD and ".air" as a gTLD. Then 
to issue a call for TLD Mamanager applications. We would have good grounds 
to address Edwards reasonable remarks and a good comparaison tool we miss 
today.

I obviously propose that to the thinking of the TLD Task Force.
