Bulgaria needs an objection mechanism in the fast-track!

[Petko Kolev <petko.kolev49@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Bulgaria really needs to be able to object somehow the DNS panel`s
rejection of its IDN cctld.

Ask yourselves - an objection mechanism exists in every administrative
procedure, or in courts around the world. Why ICANN to be any
different that the rest?

Bulgaria didn`t have the right to defend its idea for an IDN cctld -
the panel just said "no" - and that was all - a one way decision. How
will you feel if you are not given the right to object a court
decision which is againts you, and you know that you are right?
Bulgarian people feel like this.

Also, the DNS panel`s criteria, used to evaluate the domains should be
made public. Now, with all this anonymity, people in Bulgaria believe
that the panel didn`t review carefully the request , and didn`t
explore all options.

How do you react when you read this - "We therefore apply a very
conservative standard in our assessment of applied-for strings that
consist of two Greek, Cyrillic, or Latin characters, including a
default presumption of confusability to which exceptions may be made
in specific cases. "? A 'default presumption"? Where is the criteria
here? (Sorry for making this public, but parts of the DNS panel report
circulate freely in Bulgarian mailing lists, so should be correct.)

Yours,
Petko
