[ALAC] Public Comment on Registration Proxy Service for gTLDs Operated by XYZ.COM LLC

[Vanda Scartezini]

Hi Kaili

 Brazil’s solution was not to forbidden foreign registrar to sell here,  but there is a high tax payment to buy from foreign registrars. Even so ,there are just 2 registrars here that are effectivelly operating as registrar.. 
 This made this country a paradise not for any registrar, local or foreign , but for  local ccTLD. Around 90% still under .br
