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

[nhklein]

Hi all,

I am happy that his issue comes now up here. As you know following the 
thread back, it is an old issue, but when the conflict arose, not many 
people got involved - and the Bulgarian applicant was in a way left 
alone (there is no clear, appropriate ICANN appeal process, as far as I 
know).

The ophthalmologic discussion is maybe interesting - or tragic-funny, 
but what is needed is to go beyond: the issue is not settled! A 
technically powerful body in ICANN can decide and override the broadly 
based decision of the Bulgarian people concerned and involved in an IDN 
problem.

How can this be brought to a solution? GNSO? Who can take a 
"procedurally correct and efficient" initiative? And if possible soon - 
as it has been dragging on already very long.

At the least there needs to be a transparent decision process and a clear appeals mechanism.
