[governance] ICANN declined Bulgarian IDN fast-track

[krum.jonev at dir.bg]

Hi,

Just to keep you updated on this topic.

Today the Bulgarian Ministry of Transport, IT and Communications 
launched a poll to collect public opinions on the topic of the 
Bulgarian IDN ccTLD.

The proposed answers are:

- "I don`t want anything except .бг"
- "I don`t want an IDN ccTLD"
- Also are added four new proposals for the string.

Regards
Krum
