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

[Deirdre Williams]

It is often claimed that one of the great riches of the Internet is its
diversity and potential for inclusion. Do we really believe that? Perhaps
the time has come to stand up and be counted on that issue. Believing in
diversity and inclusion means supporting for other people what you would
like to have for yourself, even if that thing is of no particular benefit
to you.
ICANN's public face advertises diversity and inclusion.
ICANN claims to be concerned with facilitation, rather than being concerned
with control.
Facilitation means that you work hard to make things happen unless you can
show a cogent reason why the thing happening would be unwise or unsafe.
Control means that you stop things from happening unless you, or someone
else, can find a cogent reason that the thing should occur.
If you have taken on responsibility for acting for the world then you need
to demonstrate an ability to put yourself into the mind-set of each
constituent part and consider the issues from their perspective as well.
