The ALAC appreciates the difficulties experienced by the CWG Framework for the Use of Country and Territory Names as TLDS (CWG-UCTN) in attempting to fulfil its objective to "develop a consistent and uniform definitional framework that could be applicable across the respective SOs and ACs" and we make the following comments with regards to the recommendations posed in the CWG report.
We too agree with Recommendations 1, 2 and 4 noting that the objective of the harmonised framework is important enough to establish a new and inclusive CWG, working on a more clarified Charter, that will continue and complete the development of the framework.
We also opted for Recommendation 3 (c) as it clearly and succinctly defines the intent and direction of the CWG. Any explanation as to why this is important is very clearly detailed in your report.
