[Rigf_program] Definition of 'AP region'

[Keith Davidson]

Hi Izumi, all,

I think "areas" gets to be even more vague than "economies", sorry... I 
think APNIC have had long discussions in the past over the right term, 
and after debate decided that "economies" was the most appropriate for 
them. ICANN tends to use the words "countries and territories" which is 
too long and cumbersome. APTLD can avoid this and refer to ccTLDs which 
is great.

So there is no right or wrong here, but I think using the term already 
used by one of the major stakeholder groups in the region might be 
better than using a new term... Or at least we will reduce the overall 
confusion by being consistent with the term of economies...

Cheers

Keith
