<Question> Does the North American Region have a TLD organization, similar to LACTLD, and other regions?

<Comment> Internationalized Domain Names ( IDNs ) enable people around the world to use domain names in local languages and scripts. IDNs are formed using characters from different scripts, such as Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic or Devanagari. These are encoded by the Unicode standard and used as allowed by relevant IDN protocols.

Thx for undeserved shout out!

<Comment> on the geographical region v ICANN region discussion, it is interesting to note that the territory of St. Pierre and Miquelon (ccTLD .pm) which is close to Newfoundland Canada, is in the Europe ICANN region.

<Continued> this phenomenon is related to territories with political associations with larger states, sometimes former colonial powers or metroploes that are far away from that territory. St Pierre & Miquelon’s association is with the French Republic.

@Bart, exactly my concern. Maybe the number of ccTLD’s is small for the creation of a NA regional organization.

Super interesting stuff @Bart! Many thx 4 background-

<QUESTION> Who manages ccTLD, is it the government or a registry?</QUESTION>

@Javier, no problem. Esa es la idea.
