Dear members,
I wanted to follow up on one of the issues
that was discussed on the BC call this past Monday because I think that there may
be many others like myself that need further information to understand this
important debate. I am speaking of the difference between ‘sunrise
periods’ and the new ‘IP clearinghouse’ and would like to
know the rationale behind NOT having both, as well as why ICANN would push back
on the GAC vis-à-vis the GAC’s wish to continue the clearinghouse AFTER
launch of a new TLD.
Can Mike Palage or others who are
knowledgeable in this area please provide us with some background and
clarification as to why the BC wouldn’t want both and continually?
Thank you in advance,
RA

documents which will be useful background documents for BC members
Dear members
The following links provide recent correspondence from
Peter Dengate Thrush, Board Chair to Heather Dryden, GAC Chair
which the Chair has asked that I call to your attention.
The first link is the Board/staff response to the GAC on
the scorecard and will be very important to members trying to track
the status of discussions on the new gTLDs.
The second link is a very recent letter from Board Chair to
GAC Chair on the ATRT. Both are relevant to BC discussions during

I will try to keep
down the extraordinary postings, but since these are documents that I was asked
about by a couple of members,
am posting them for
your convenience.
Stay
tuned for a later posting with updates on the schedules for next week. I am
promised news from ICANN during the day on the schedule
reorganizations.
We
will have an informal BC gathering on Friday evening with informal drinks for
members there already, Saturday morning and evening if needed [brief gatherings
on Saturday].
and
a more formalized updated schedule to be announced as noted, later today.

BC Chair
