    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>
    <br>
    <br>
    Best<br>
    <br>
    Alice<br>
