[AfrICANN-discuss] Comments Encouraged on the Final Report of IDNC Working Group on ccTLD "Fast Track" Mechanisms

[McTim]

Hi,

Just curious, but why on earth do all the links in this mail look like this:

http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=9826224&msgid=161132&act=52JX&c=165637&admin=0&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.icann.org%2Fen%2Fannouncements%2Fannouncement-15jul08-en.htm

instead of this:

http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-15jul08-en.htm  ??

It's just very unexpected!
