Antony,

Of all nonsense he has been posting over the last six months, this
tops all.

Now that he feels he has sorted out the at-large community and end
users, appeased big business, and trademarks, he is turning towards
the ccTLDs. 

Offering IATLD "language", the very cheek.

I really have enough of this crap.

There *IS* no such thing as a ccTLD community. ccTLDs are not
delegated by some ccTLD community.

> only about a third of the ccTLDs belong to IATLD,

And, so what? Since when has that been an issue?

Well, I know Africa doesn't exist for Kent, but the recent Internet
Governance in Africa conference resolved to demand RFC1591
compliance. That makes support closer to a 100.

Kent, not everything is a matter of size.
