Patrick Jones asked me to pass this along. Since registry failover actually does affect both registrant and non-registrant users, and is something ICANN can actually do, I'd encourage the ALAC to take him up on his offer. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 29 May 2008 23:21:18 -0700 From: Patrick Jones <patrick.jones@icann.org> To: "johnl@iecc.com" <johnl@iecc.com> Subject: ICANN gTLD Registry Failover Plan John, I have seen the comments on the ALAC list regarding the gTLD Registry Failover Plan. Quite a lot of work has gone into the draft gTLD Registry Failover Plan since the public version was last posted in November 2007. See http://www.icann.org/registries/failover/. An updated version of the plan will be made available in advance of the Paris meeting. If ALAC would like an update in Paris on the Failover work, please let me know. Feel free to pass this on to the ALAC list. Regards, Patrick -- Patrick L.
