Re: [wg-review] Re(2): [cctld-discuss] Comments on review of DNSO by Mr Park

I think German should be included as well - if one looks at the demographics,
one will see that Germany is one of the countries leading the technology trail
on the Continent, and has a higher percentage of Internet users and businesses
compared to most other European countries. Germany surely outflanks France and
Spain, I think only the UK might have more Internet users, although a higher
number of Internet companies might be debatable. 

Even the at-large representative from Europe is German. German is spoken in
Austria, Germany, South Tyrol (part of Italy), and large parts of Switzerland.
Its the native language of a sizable proportion of Europeans, not just Germans.

all the best, Robin
