No, he said it wasn't the substance of what he wanted to say that was confidential, just the manner in which he wanted to say it. He rephrased it for public consumption. It had to do with what is the difference between ccTLDs and gTLDs and whether an IDN version of a ccTLD is a ccTLD or a gTLD. Paul believes that ccTLDs are just those ascii character sets on the ISO list. So, formally, an IDN TLD would never be a "ccTLD" even if it were the direct translation of the country name. Obviously, Paul's view isn't dispositive, and this is a political issue that will need full discussion. Short answer: nothing to do with .WEB. :-) -- Bret
