Re: Regional iTLD Question

[Dr Nii Narku Quaynor <quaynor@ncs.com.gh>]

I come from a distinct group of people in Ghana known as the Ga. The
legend say that we are descendants of the Jews. Our language is
different and our customs are different.

We want our own domain!???

This is not a good criteria for iTLDs. These kind of things have the
potantial of hightening ethnic differences leading to problems. It may
not be a good thing to encourage. What are the qualifying criteria
for TLDs? This may be the issue.
