From: psc@vlaw-dc.com To: bc-gnso@icann.org Subject: [bc-gnso] FW: ICANN "Misspoke" about URS Contracts Date: Thu, 18 Jul 2013 09:17:09 +0000 FYI--I thought BC members would want to know that ICANN's written commitment to enter into contracts with URS providers is something they now appear to have no intention of carrying out. I believe this creates serious policy and credibility issues. http://internetcommerce.org/URS_Truth_Breach Philip S.
