Two letters protesting the Digital Archery method of new gTLD Batching. As tempting as it is, I will not add any editorial comments, but do suggest that you read them (hint, I am not a fan of the proposed batching technique). - http://www.icann.org/en/news/correspondence/metalitz-to-icann-board-09may12-... - http://www.icann.org/en/news/correspondence/isc-to-icann-10may12-en.pdf Not yet published on the ICANN Correspondence page, a letter on behalf of the International Olympic Committee making a formal Board Reconsideration Request related to the Board decision not to adopt the first-level changes approved by the GNSO. It is interesting that such a request goes to the Chair of the Board Governance Committee, who happens to be Bruce Tonkin, a conflicted Board member (related to new gTLDs) who cannot take part in any discussions or decision related to new gTLDs. - http://forum.icann.org/lists/gnso-iocrc-dt/msg00455.html Alan
