[Chapter-delegates] ISOC England Chapter Statement regarding direct.uk consultation

[Eduardo Diaz]

The case in Puerto Rico is even worst. .pr does not seem to have any clear
policy with respect to second or third level registrations other that the
fact that a second level registration cost $1000 (US dollars) vs. a third
level at $100. If you get to be friends with them you may get them for free.
