[governance] ICANN declined Bulgarian IDN fast-track

[Eric Dierker]

I only know from my experience with ICANN but I have a suggestion that is generally not spoken but is as clear as a bell.  The process that is open and transparent at ICANN almost always leaves an observer or participant scratching their head at the outcome.  It is most closely understood as a Highschool social click.  Science and logic and process cannot really offer any sense to it.  It is more like "who" and "what" and "where" is "in". 

The mere and startling fact that you conclude by saying in essence "what the hell is the next step?".  Really exemplifies my point. And sadly the answer is just as plain as the huge schnouze on my face.  Your next step is to get popular. Get yourself invited to parties, panels and write some stuff on some lists praising some inglorious staffer.  Staff recommends only that which the staff feels is popular and boards-counsels WGs and TFs only support that which is popular.  

Taboos: 1. Any heated debate. 2. Any reference to misconduct.  3. Demanding anything at all.  4. Cohorting with folks deemed unwashed and not in the click.

Don't get me wrong the party line Avri put forth here is a technical issue regarding confusion -- so they say these words but -- as you can see that is not at all the issue -- the technical issues are either disregarded or manufactured to meet the above criteria.

Hi all,

On an interview today, the IT minister announced that Bulgaria will send a reconsideration request for the .бг string.

Original source : http://dariknews.bg/view_article.php?article_id=551142 (in Bulgarian)

-
Who will be the domain of Bulgaria in Cyrillic alphabet, after it emerged that looked like BR (Brazil) and will not happen?

Minister: Yes, we received a refusal for the BG domain. I personally believe that this domain is the best for Bulgaria and the same is considered perhaps by the majority of IT industry. Therefore, we will make a new request. Will ask for reconsideration.

And do not give up.

Minister: No, do not give up the registration of the domain. I think he has the greatest effect. Other abbreviations in Cyrillic in my opinion will not be so ...

BU, BYA, BGR ...

Minister: No, these are not so typical for Bulgaria and will not be so popular.

Even the whole "Bulgaria".

Minister: I think that will not be as popular as both letters БГ (BG)

How this will happen - the change of this refusal?

Minister: Well, to change that refusal is a new procedure in an international organization that approves the registration of those domains. We got the first refusal, but that does not mean that with the second procedure we will also get a refusal - its possible to obtain approval.

But what really count, because the simple logic is that true when you see BR in Brazil, right, it looks like BG of the Bulgarians. And because the Brazilians are the first - they give up?

Minister: No, they will not quit, of course, we still rely on a deeper examination of the problem and hopefully to be approved this abbreviation because it is most typical for Bulgaria and I think it will benefit the most , it introduce the Cyrillic alphabet.

However, I don`t have an idea what is this "second"procedure - maybe the extended review?

Cheers,

Krum
