Per discussion on our 21-Apr member call, here is a draft framework for BC comments on the 15-Apr-2011 Guidebook.
These comments are due 15-May, giving us 18 days for edits, review, and approval.
For this initial draft, I updated our Dec-2010 Guidebook comments in several ways:
- Acknowledged areas where ICANN made changes consistent with BC recommendations.
- Moved all our RPM concerns to Module 5
- Asked several questions for BC members (in red)
- Added a proposed definition for "Single-Registrant TLD". We may hold a separate call on this.
All BC members are invited to suggest edits. Please use track changes and circulate to BC list.
I will assemble another draft version with all changes received as of May 1.
