Hi, I would like to support the topics suggested by Niels and Remmy, but I
would take Remmy's point in a slightly different direction.

Nielsen's report confirms that Latin America, Asia and Africa will likely
be the great drivers of new gTLD acceptance and use, while most registries
are still based in developed regions. There is a net transference of
resources taking place from the developing to the developed world in the
DNS industry. The problems that developing regions face have been
extensively explained.  What is the perception of the board? In the opinion
of board members, which concrete measures could be put in place? Why not
even suggestions from the JAS report have been implemented yet? Would the
board commit to a clear plan to address the current imbalances before a new
round of applications is launched?

My two cents.

Best,
Marília
