When Kim mentioned we put together an "ask" of ianacann root updates, if we ("the community") were to request a root zone list be started for announcing... one opportunity we have would be to ask for fields from what the applicant furnished from the applicant guidebook in question 14, which would contain the language and English meaning.<div>
