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

[Adam Peake]

"The Ombudsman does not have the power to make, 
change or set aside a policy, administrative or 
Board decision, act, or omission. The Ombudsman 
does have the power to investigate these events, 
and to use ADR technique to resolve them."

He's there to try and resolve disputes.  He has 
powers to make ICANN listen.  It's free (expect 
for your further time and effort.)

Current Ombudsman seems extremely professional, pleasant to talk to.
