[governance] Cameroon and Wales collision in TLD space ?????

[Nyangkwe Agien Aaron]

Hi all

This is an astonishing news beat.
As far as I can recall and recond, the ccTLD for Cameroon is CM. Or is some
one alluding that the authorities of my countries are about to make a change
and no communication is made.
If there is that change, what about those who registered their sites and web
names on CM?

All the best

Aaron
