Re: [soac-newgtldapsup-wg] Additional Criteria "Indigenous Peoples"

[Eric Brunner-Williams <ebw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Alain,

Thank you for the complements. I agree that our work product will be 
most useful if we provide overall guidance to the eventual 
implementation body. It was for this purpose that I proposed the 
following:

"Applications by Indigenous Peoples, as described in Article 1 of 
Convention No. 169 of the International Labor Organization."

I could live with simply "Applications by Indigenous Peoples", but I 
expected that some would want a definition or description of what is 
meant by "Indigenous Peoples", hence the cite to Article 1 of ILO No. 169.
This provides additional guidance to the guidance provided by 
references to levels of development in UN Member States.
