<div>It is interesting ..... How would you know if there is no evaluation of ones performance at the end of tenure?</div>
<div> </div>

<div> </div>
<div>Much appreciated.</div>

<div>Hello there,
<div><br></div>
<div>It is interesting to see how ccTLDs are managed 'for who' and by 'who' and in which country. Things are different as you look from one country to another. It all depends on the preparedness of the Government System or Communities.
<div><br></div>
<div>One example which has not yet been mentioned is <.ng> after its management was 'returned' home and is under NITDA - which is a Nigerian Government Agency.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Any comments on this please?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>This especially how the negotiations for the management of ccTLDs are handled or influenced where there is no National ICT Policy </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>That is all for now on this.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Kind regards</div>

<div><br>> 1. "Some of us do not believe that nation states should be sovereign over<br>> "their ccTLD" ".<br>> 2. "ccTLDs should be managed by a country's Internet community"<br>

<div><br>> If this is the case, then it means that the members of this so-called<br>> national community is made up of yes-men folks, who serve the interests of<br>> invisible people.<br><br></div>no in fact, it doesn't mean either of those things!<br>
