Re: [council] Draft Names Council motion on IDN

Elisabeth:
Even if the assertion below about "new services"
is correct (and I could dispute it), then you will 
note that it ONLY applies to gTLDs. It has no impact
whatsoever on ccTLDs. So you are caught between
a rock and a hard place. The changes you have been
making to satisfy Caroline would have to be 
removed, because the resolution cannot address
the entire name space.

First, in the gTLD contracts with ICANN it is 
explicated that introduction of NEW SERVICES need explicit 
consent of ICANN, therefore ICANN have authority on 
International Domain Names services.
