Hello everyone,

Regarding 4.2.2...

...In fact Cyrillic as a script covers several languages/countries... Also
Russian which is by population the majority of Cyrillic speakers is
spoken significantly in 3 countries. Its clear that Cyrillic community
can give more comprehensive input than just one country to appropriate
gTLD string selection and language tables. I fully agree with proposal.
