Re: [icann-eu] Re: [ICANN-EU] ccTLDs to ask for BoD seats?

[Alexander Svensson <svensson@icannchannel.de>]

FYI:
Sabine Dolderer of the German ccTLD registry DENIC
has played down the reported ICANN--ccTLD conflict:
http://de.news.yahoo.com/001127/13/178go.html
Some excerpts; my translation:

 "This was by no means the Europeans revolt against ICANN".
 "In the past year, there have been communication problems
 between ICANN and the ccTLDs again and again". Everyday
 things had partly taken months to solve, and at almost 
 every new meeting, ICANN demanded more money from the
 local organizations.
 There has been displeasure at the ICANN meeting among
 ccTLD representatives, but "those threats were rather
 meant rhetorically and are now interpreted wrongly."
 "I certainly think ICANN still has do to its homework." 
 She views the establishment of an additional communication
 channel by means of a specific contact for the daily 
 business as a positive delopment.

Best regards,
