[ALAC] RUSH: Statement on ccTLD/gTLD Delegation/Redelegation Consultation

[Alan Greenberg]

Cheryl, I am on a WG call and only just noticed this thread.

I agree with your reply. Oksana's comment is very relevant to the 
ccTLD redelegation process and the need to get the entire 'Local 
Internet Community" and  'Significantly Interested Parties' involved, 
which certainly can include a local ALS, is critical. But this 
particular comment period is not the place to lock in such a process.
