RE: [alac] About Regions

[shahshah@xxxxxxxx]

I'm sitting in ccNSO meeting now. The present discussion is about IDNs. Do
you know when they'll discuss regions? My position is that ultimatly the
entire old world area of Asia/Pacific, Europe and Africa has to be divided
into five regions: non-Arab Africa, Arab Africa+ Arab countries, Europe,
West and Central Asia, Pacific. The line between Europe and West-Central
Asia could be drawn on a voluntary basis by the countries involved. At
this point, this division would not be viable. The best present position
would be to divide along LIR lines.
I also think that Jacqueline's sugestion yesterday is very much worth
considering in the long run. Internet need not respect geographic
divisions.
Oh, the rehional discussion just started!
