There you go again, insisting an American speak English :o) Simply, .gov.[xx] is a unique domain identifier, cyber-squatting is not allowed, and there is no such thing as "anonymous" Governance Policy (at least I hope not). The same "rules" do not apply. Technically, and unfortunately there is no way to demystify the math-heavy high tech, this opens up a number of imaging technologies (opportunity!!!) not available to Public Sector domains. --Gannon --- On Thu, 2/10/11, Chris Beer <chris@e-beer.net.au> wrote: > From: Chris Beer <chris@e-beer.net.au> > Subject: Re: Nationhood, Governments and Policy > To: "Gannon Dick" <gannon_dick@yahoo.com> > Cc: "public-egov-ig@w3.org" <public-egov-ig@w3.org> > Date: Thursday, February 10, 2011, 9:05 PM > Hi Gannon > > Could you indicate in simple terms what you are stating > here, and what outcome, if any, you expect from the list. > Are you trying to answer a specific policy question? > Identifying a need in e-Government?
