Re: [ga] Olympic Hymn Complaint

["J-F C. (Jefsey) Morfin" <jefsey@club-internet.fr>]

Dear Thomas,
"lachez nous les basquettes, trés cher". We are now by our own on this GA 
list among gentlemen. Let keep it this way. There is no more moderator or 
Chair: we all are. Gentlemen's interests are ours.

I am no more sure this is related to domain names than domain names are a 
matter for ICANN. But if Sotiris says it is, let be it! And if Sotiris 
calls for support, we are here, are we not?

IMHO, domain names root into human culture and day to day life as we see 
with IDNs. Olympic is part of that culture. May be this is what Sotiris meant.

I am personnally quite interested to tie links with such an organization of 
real international magnitude, which is strictly protecting its domain 
names. Once this will be achieved and they are in confidence, undestanding 
what the DNSO and the DNSO/ex-GA are, I wish to ask them about the 
babelname "iesg-olympic.com". I suppose this might change more the future 
of the IDNs and of the DNS than a vote by the NC, or even by the BoD. Don't 
you think so?

Cheers.
jfc
