Re: [gnso-idng] IDN TLD Info from the ccNSO

Hi,

I hope you are right.  I worry though that the ccNSO failure to  
include the potential of working with the GNSO in its closing remarks,  
may not be the best harbinger of cooperative work ahead.  I think they  
are only willing to to cooperate as long as they are sure that doing  
so won't slow the fast track in any way at all - so getting it right  
is not excuse for delay.  And I have not figured out if there is  
anything that can be done about insuring ICANN does not go out with a  
half baked IDN solution.
