      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>
