This is "Last Call" regarding proposed BC comments on ICANN's Proposal to Mitigate Name Collision Risks (attached). This public comment (<http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/rpm-requirements-06aug13-en.htm>link<http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/name-collision-05aug13-en.htm>) closes 17-Sep. Here's the history on this comment draft: We circulated Elisa Cooper's initial draft on 26-Aug. Sarah Deutsch (Verizon) circulated edits on 27-Aug, offering stronger language about impact on customers of BC members, and questions ICANN's criteria for "low risk" strings. We discussed on our member call on 29-Aug. Sarah re-posted her comment on 3-Sep, referring us to Mikey O'Connor's post (link<http://www.haven2.com/index.php/archives/new-gtlds-and-namespace-collision>) Steve (NetChoice) circulated comments filed by NetChoice on 8-Sep. In the attached draft, Steve added to Sarah's edits by questioning the "acceptable risk" criteria proposed by ICANN. Steve added to Sarah's request for additional time, asking for more comment time once ICANN publishes written briefing requested by the GAC in Durban. Members who would object to the attached comment should REPLY ALL by 16-Sep indicating concerns. Unless more than 5 members object, I will file these comments on 17-Sep. Thanks to Elisa and Sarah for their work on this comment. -- Steve DelBianco Executive Director NetChoice http://www.NetChoice.org and http://blog.netchoice.org +1.202.420.7482
