I went through all the docs but I could not answer most of the questions with enough confidence within the time slot proposed. If you still can, don’t hesitate, go ahead and edit the draft. However; there is no issue/problem not answering all the questions…. We can write “no answer” or “NIHIL”. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">As far as not submitting a comment here (in state or not), I must refer to Rafik, the policy Chair whose vision is rather to always comment/acknowledge on/a calls.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Regarding the questions and in my opinion, 1 is yes, 2a is yes, 2.b is possible (but needs further discussions within NCSG) 3 is mostly yes but with some nuances to clarify. For 5, I am unable to answer by now (further reading and IDN knowledge to gain). Regarding the 6th, what you are describing seems to be a valid additional risk, and there may be many others to add but with strong rationale (to describe and to simulate their impacts)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">That’s it!<br class=""><div class="">

I think something pertinent to question 3 and 4 (and I might be wrong) is that if they want to again delegate the name of the countries in IDN to the cctld managers, these managers should not be allowed to use UDRP service providers such as WIPO. (I don't know how far they go, do they delegate similar names of countries and territories -overreach alert- or exact names? I could not figure out)</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Why am I against that? Because even in non IDN ccTLDs we see trademark overreach. Amazon has claimed so many domain names that have had similarities to Amazon in ccTLDs that Amazon did not even have any business at!!! Rest assured that this is going to happen to IDNs as well.
