My view is to work on other processes and/or selct another string. I
understand this is not a great solution, and maybe not a solution at
all, but it is what is available at the moment.

Ok, let's be more specific and public then. A question to both you
and other participants:<br>
<br>
What follows is an excerpt from the IDN Fast Track Implementation
Plan, 19 september 2009.<br>
<br>
How would you interpret the following table (5.5).<br>
<br>
According to my understanding, we are sitting now, for about 20
months at the stage marked (B).<br>
<br>
Now my question to you Tina, as the person at ICANN who used to be
responsible for the design and implementation of the IDN Fast Track:
please note, without considering ANY specific application. Please.<br>
<br>
What follows after "Evaluation not successful, issues encountered"?<br>
<br>
1. ICANN staff tells the applicant that they should either chose
another string or abandon the application.<br>
or<br>
2. ICANN staff forms "3-member panel is formed and request listed
for extended evaluation".<br>
<br>
<br>
I have asked our Government to order the applicant (who happens to
be Government employee), and they confirmed they have done this ---
to ask "ICANN staff" (at this time, Tina Dam) to asnwer the
question: "why is this 3-member panel not engaged to resolve the
issue and more specifically to follow the process ICANN was
instructed to follow".<br>
<br>
Tina, I believe this Internet Governance forum deserves your
explanation of the process.<br>
<br>
Please, prove my interpretation of the process wrong.<br>
<br>
Daniel<br>

PS: Just to write it one more time: I do not see the IDN Fast Track
process as defective or wrong. It is how ICANN implements it, that
is utterly worrying. It has in fact demonstrated that it can deny
the right to two (important in cultural and therefore IDN area)
countries like Bulgaria and Greece to have the IDN TLD of their
choice.<br>
<br>
PPS: By the way, my Greek colleagues share that same view. But I do
hope they can express it on their own.<br>
