Therefore, opposition to this question), WT5 should not make recommendations to delegate 3-letter ISO-3166-1 codes
From the chat:
Justine Chew: Line 130: I wonder if the summary should be "--WT5 should not make recommendations to delegate 3-letter ISO-3166-1 codes (though they believe that use of 3-letter codes should be akin to ccTLDs" or something along these lines?
Line 131, Registrar Stakeholder Group (RrSG) Divergence, WT5 should not make recommendations to delegate 3-letter ISO-3166-1 codes
Line 132, Governments of Argentina, Chile, and Colombia, Fundación Incluirme, Divergence, WT5 should not make recommendations to delegate 3-letter ISO-3166-1 codes
LIne 133, Intellectual Property Constituency (IPC), Divergence, -- WT5 should not make recommendations to delegate 3-letter ISO-3166-1 codes (though they do not support restrictions on the use 3-letter codes as gTLDs)
From the chat:
Susan Payne: wrong characterisation for IPC in the summary column. does not say the ISO3166-1 codes should not be delegated, it says they should not be allocated to specific parties
Line 134, International Trademark Association (INTA), Divergence, -- WT5 should not make recommendations to delegate 3-letter ISO-3166-1 codes (though they do not support restrictions on the use 3-letter codes as gTLDs)
From the chat:
Susan Payne: wrong characterisation for IPC in the summary column. does not say the ISO3166-1 codes should not be delegated, it says they should not be allocated to specific parties
Susan Payne: ditto for inta
Line 135, GAC, [comment]
From the chat:
Dev Anand Teelucksingh: Shouldn't the field E135 (for the GAC) have the text "-- WT5 should not make recommendations to delegate 3-letter ISO-3166-1 codes" ?
Line 136, Georgia, Concerns (about who should use) [Does not address the procedural question]
Question e8:
Line 138, otBERLIN GmbH & Co. KG, Hamburg Top-Level-Domain GmbH, geoTLD.group, [comment], All Languages
From the chat:
Katrin Ohlmer | .berlin .hamburg: I think the comment by .berlin, .hamburg, geoTLD.group and Dotzon shoul be categorized as "Agreement" - like the comment by Honduras
Line 139, RDS-HN (Honduras), Agreement, All Languages
From the chat:
Susan Payne: don’t see how Honduras can be Agreement since this is a series of options
Justine Chew: @Susan, the same could be said for other questions to which RDS-HN was interpreted as "having agreed".
Justine Chew: @Susan, unless the approach is to apply their "support" to the main statement and disregarding the actual question and options. Sigh.
Steve Chan: It's really just the Honduras comments - because they specifically say Support.
Steve Chan: We can remove the green if it makes you all more comfortable.
