Dear Barrack and all,<br>
<br>
In view of the new gTLDs revealed by ICANN, may I suggest that we
include new gTLDs on the list of issues for discussion?<br>
<br>
You will note that out of 1930 applications only 7 are from Africa.<br>
-What are the implications?<br>
-What strings are controversial/sensitive from a national
perspective?<br>
