Another Last Call before closing on a BC comment. Attached is the draft BC position regarding the report on Baseline Registry Operations. Berry Cobb circulated the draft back on 23-Mar (see below). I¹ve signaled my agreement. Absent objections by COB tomorrow, we will file as consensus BC comments on 1-Apr-2010. --Steve On 3/23/10 3:16 AM, "Berry Cobb" <berrycobb@infinityportals.com> wrote: BC, Attached is the first draft of the CBUC position statement for the Baseline Registry Operation report released by ICANN. Overall, I feel KPMG performed well and provided meaningful views of the data. It is ashamed that more participants were not a part of the sample data. My Registry operations experience is limited, so I ask the BC team to take a strong look at the report and the initial comments I provided. I especially invite our members that have direct Registry operations experience to enhance our position about this study and its future use by the gTLD Evaluation teams. This material is sure to have a direct impact to the next Draft Applicant Guidebook version 4 to be released just prior to Brussels. In a quick review, the following are what I believe to be sections of the DAGv3 where this study could influence the Application Evaluation Criteria, or the Application Process both of which will be used by the gTLD Evaluation teams. 1.2.2 Required Documents for Application 1.4.2 Application Form 2.1.2 Applicant Reviews 2.1.3 Registry Services Review 2.2.1 Technical/Operational or Financial Extended Evaluation 2.2.2 DNS Stability Extended Evaluation 2.2.3 Registry Services Extended Evaluation The comment period closes April 1st, so I ask for your quick turn-around. As Steve DelBianco eluded to in our last BC call, there are a large number of comment period closings converging at once. I thank you for your quick response. I will compile all feedback and incorporate changes on 3/30/2010.
