Hi Karel,
While that concern was raised, my understanding is that it was not carried forward into the recommendations. The Working Group did not recommend moving most of the Caribbean region from the ICANN silo of Latin America to North America because it feared the two regions would be split on geographical and linguistic lines (I would suggest they already are…), among other reasons of “practicality”. It does, however, have provisions in place to allow a country's government to voluntarily request to move to another region. The procedures around how this would happen have not yet been developed by Staff.
I welcome any comments or suggestions you might have for our statement, and I look forward to reading your additions.
Best wishes,
Ayden

Good work - I read the NCUC report which caused me to immediately read the final report of the WG.
I'm glad that the issue of the Caribbean region was discussed as it is a very topical issue.
Carlton Samuels was on the WG and would have highlighted the concerns that we have.
I will certainly try to add a few comments on your document.
regards
Karel

Hello, team-
I have drafted a response to the final report of the Geographic Regions Review Working Group. Comments are due in about 25 days time but if we do decide to reply, I hope we can submit something in advance of that deadline. I've shared my first draft on Google Docs here and have also attached it to this email for those without access to that website.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-c2vVT2DNO73l89wfZTvKtY70rmaid8g7XBO-Vto9SM/edit
You can read the Working Group's final report here:
https://www.icann.org/public-comments/geo-regions-2015-12-23-en
I suspect that we will have a wide birth of opinions on this topic, so please know that I'm very much open to reviewing or rethinking anything that appears in this early draft. I am also new to writing public comments like this one so welcome any feedback you would be kind enough to share. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
Best wishes,
Ayden Férdeline
