[governance] Is really Bulgarian Cyrillic .бг (.bg) similar to other Latin ccTLDs?

[Daniel Kalchev]

There is not much point in pointing fingers. Much of the damage has been 
done to both the Bulgarian application (Government's reputation) and to 
ICANN (process quality, suspiction of double standards). As it was 
noted, we can all learn from mistakes and the time now is appropriate to 
correct the issues.

In my opinion, the fact that there is some shielding of process flow 
from the non-involved parties is not bad. Bad is the lack of defined 
evaulation criteria and the total lack of wider/public consultations in 
the evaluation stages (not decision stages) of the process. Another bad 
practice is the lack of detailed explanation after the fact. It is only 
logocal, that refused applications will be reviewed by external parties 
and those parties may find lack of diligency on part of the 
staff/evaluation groups. What then?
If there is no procedure for explaining/justifying the opinion or 
decision, there will always be the doubt that someone has done wrong. 
And those concerns grow with time until at some point trust breaks.
