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

[Imran Ahmed Shah]

Hi Avri, thank you for your apology. (shows your greatness).

ccNSO Council letter, Resolution and endorsement by the board for the
revision of the IDN ccTLD Fast Track provides strong evidence and example
that
1.	IDN ccTLD Fast Track (a limited & short term Implementation Program)
was amendable/modifiable.
2.	Key resources understands and acknowledged that similarity can be
helpful.
3.	The option/provisioning for adoption of such similar strings was
also known to them.
4.	[important] They allowed this option for (and within) territory and
if the applicant for IDN ccTLD & ccTLD Registry Operator are same.
5.	[very important] They intentionally disallowed the same option for
others (out of territory = Global context) and if the applicants for IDN
ccTLD & ccTLD Registry Operator are two separate entities.

The same option /provisioning, we could use (to claim) for the
implementation of Bulgarian Cyrillic .бг (.bg).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just for reference quoting my previous words: (Sent: Thursday, November 10,

----------------------------------------
" New study tells that instead of changing the consumer minds, change of the
ownership of the products or services or command may give you better
results.
So, applying this new approach, will give following results:
.бг to .br
.ελ  to .EA
(consumers will  be offered to enjoy the Visual Similarity, even the .bg
users will also be able to get their domain registered Блгария.Бг)
Now, read it again and smile, it has become a commercial model. New gTLD
have no concern, what IDN Language do you select."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

We can still right to the Board, similar letter, we can also write to ICANN
Ombudsman that this revision is again reducing Internet implementation to a
territory (locally) instead of Globally and not providing equal opportunity
for everyone. We can also demand to expand same policy for global
implementation as well.

Thanks for every one on sharing thoughts for a combine initiatives in public
interest.

Regards

Imran Ahmed Shah
