Thanks for the comments, Hank. I'm passing them to the list for a wider readership. It will be interesting for us all to know the outcome of the case you mention.

I looked over the docs and have very few comments: - in the ntld doc you should mention rfc1591 and that iana and ntlds should work according to this rfc (in regards to transfer of ownership, etc.) - I think a set of docs need to be created by the ntld WG for any nTLD that is sued. IL has just been sued in the Supreme Court by a cybersquatter. An excellent resource used to be: http://www.digidem.com/legal/domain.html which compares many policies of ntlds - but we need to have something that continues to be maintained. When someone dislikes your authority in your country over your ntld - they will sue you and not iana. For that we need to be prepared. -Hank

Too short notice to attend - perhaps the next meeting?
Pity. Was this he first notice you had ? There were others, even in December. If you've time, I'ld appreciate it if you could take a look at the current documents and comment as you see fit. They're on
I look forward to seeing you at RIPE 30 in Stockholm in May.
Best regards,
Niall
