[AfrICANN-discuss] Re: [ccTLDcommunity] Report on Supporting the Domain Name Industry in Underserved Regions

[Nigel Roberts]

I feel that one comment that should be strongly made to the authors of 
the report is that it is desirable to avoid the use of the word 
"underserved".

To many readers a completely different meaning is apparent on a casual 
or first reading.

I really did read this as "Undeserved Regions" when I first saw it.

It was only on the third time of forcing myself to read it it (knowing 
what I was looking for), that I saw the extra consonant.**

A better description of the target of the planned assistance would 
appear to be needed, I suggest.

I think of.
