[nc-plan] RE: [cctld-discuss] Request for Comments Action NC

["Peter de Blanc" <pdeblanc@usvi.net>]

I support the addition of the  items # 5, 7, and 12 added by Pilar.

I also support item 11, however i would recommend deleting the end phrase 
"SPECIALLY THE ONE COMING FROM THE CCTLD CONSTITUENCY, ALWAYS"

as it is not diplomatic, and it singles out a specific constituency.

(even though it is my constituence ;-) )
