[governance] ICANN declined Bulgarian IDN fast-track

[krum.jonev at dir.bg]

Hi all,

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

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
