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

[Deirdre Williams]

Perhaps ICANN needs a "spring", a "Facebook revolution"?
I always remember the ISOC meeting at ICANN 2007 in Puerto Rico, the first
occasion of ICANN fellowships - I had one, thank you. Someone from the
financial administration of ICANN was commenting gravely on the possible
negative response of "business" to the investment in fellowships and the
fact that they, after all, were providing the money. A very quiet but firm
response was offered by someone from the ISOC community in France, who
pointed out that "we", the users, pay for everything. Are the strings in
question "confusingly similar".to "us"? Has anybody bothered to ask?
