RE: [gnso-idng] RE: same string registered at 2nd level across different IDN gTLDs [RE: [gnso-idng] rethinking IDN gTLDs]

["Gomes, Chuck" <cgomes@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Adrian,

Did I understand you previously that you are opposed to talking about possible 
expedition of IDN gTLDs, which I believe was the original purpose of this 
group?  If so, are you suggesting that this group be disbanded?

I personally think that it would be better for a small group to develop a white 
paper or recommendation paper before starting discussion at the Council level.  
I think it is much more effective that way. Whether it should be this group or 
not is a question that was asked in today's call. I for one, am okay with that.

Chuck
