As ccTLD control was transferred away from the United States I have the greatest concern about the US ceding control in particular to the Brazilian government’s CGI (Comite Gestor da Internet) who is not being accountable to disastrous results down the road for everyone other than the favored few which remain in control in that case obviously CGI. In this regard, the current ICANN proposal for Brazil’s ccTLD handling leaves far too much to the imagination, both in terms of how much authority the Brazilian Internet using public is having and in terms of whether the inner working of CGI will be open for public inspection, review, and criticism when signs of corruption and abuse is becoming greater. The way I see it, I really hope ICANN is not encouraging Brazil to continue violating US laws and US public policies using monopoly as a tool to succeed preventing the private sector from competing and succeed as well which could make ICANN accountable for these actions even when ccTLD .br is under US control. Take for example your google.com.br in Brazil. The results of a search shows the state of Paraná as being the state of Paraíba promoting a result error confusing the researcher specially young students. Please see for yourself at: http://www.google.com/Top/World/Português/Regional/América_do_Sul/Brasil/Estados/Paraíba/ When will you & ICANN help Brazilian intrapreneurs and ISP’s like myself making Internet in Brazil more competitive and have the right to register ccTLD and compete for the registration to break the vicious cicle of monopoly dictated by registro.br for the past 10 years?

It involves IANA liaising with the applicant, ensuring they have the support of the local Internet community and local Government. IANA will also test the applicant's technical and operational experience, as well as that they meet a number of mandatory criteria. These criteria include the operator being based within the country, and the operator treating the relevant local Internet community in a fair and equitable manner. After IANA's investigations, a report is written which is given to the ICANN Board to consider. Should the ICANN Board decide to grant a delegation or redelegation, it is implemented following the same procedure as routine changes to the DNS root zone. As with other types of requests, IANA root zone change requests are confidential whilst they are in progress. A public report is released on a delegation or redelegation after the conclusion of processing. The procedure of a delegation or a redelegation is relatively complex.

The way that cctld’s are delegated and redelegated is a bit of a mystery to me. what exactly is the procedure for having a ccTLD redelegated? How would I know if this procedure was underway for a particular domain?
