PHIL CORWIN: GOOD AFTERNOON, PHILIP CORWIN SPEAKING AGAIN AS COUNSEL OF THE INTERNET COMMERCE ASSOCIATION, I WANT TO ADDRESS UNIFORM RAPID SUSPENSION. IT'S ONE OF TWO REQUIRED NEW RITLE PROTECTION MECHANISMS. IT'S EXTREMELY IMPORTANT IT BE DONE RIGHT SO THAT WE GET MAXIMUM LEVELS OF REGISTRATION AT NEW TLDS SO THERE'S NOT A DELAY IN DELEGATION TO THE ROOT BECAUSE URS ISN'T READY TO GO WHEN APPLICANTS ARE READY TO BE DELEGATED. IT'S VERY UNFORTUNATE THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A COLLABORATIVE MULTISTAKEHOLDER IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS FOR URS OVER THE PAST MONTHS AS THERE HAS BEEN FOR TRADEMARK CLEARINGHOUSE, WHICH AS A CONSEQUENCE IS MUCH FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD TOWARD BEING DONE. WE'VE BEEN TOLD THAT URS CANNOT ACHIEVE THE DESIRED PRICE TARGET. WE'VE BEEN PROVIDED NO DATA OR ANALYSIS OF THAT DATA TO JUSTIFY THAT CONCLUSION. I FILED A DOCUMENT DISCLOSURE REQUEST 30 DAYS AGO, HAVE RECEIVED NOTHING YET. SO WE DO NEED THAT DATA ANALYSIS. WHAT WE DON'T NEED IS $175,000 BEING SPENT ON TWO UNDEFINED SUMMITS. WE NEED SOME STAFF SUPPORT FOR A IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS THAT'S OPEN IN MEMBERSHIP, TRANSPARENT IN OPERATION. WE HAD A MEETING ON THIS SUBJECT YESTERDAY. IT WAS APPARENT THAT PEOPLE WITH VERY DIFFERENT PER SPERFGETIVES ON THE ISSUE -- PERSPECTIVES ON THE ISSUE SHARE A COMMON DESIRE TO CREATE AND IMPLEMENT I URS THAT ACHIEVES THE GOALS OF RAPID SUSPENSION OFEN INCONTROVERTIBLY INFRINGING DOMAINS AT THE LOWEST FEASIBLE COST WHILE PRESERVING REGISTRANT RIGHTS. SUCH A GROUP WOULD BE BEST ABLE TO AVOID REOPENING DIVISIVE POLICY ISSUES IN THE EXTENT THAT ANYTHING HAS TO BE REOPENED IN POLICY, THAT CONSENSUS PROCESS WOULD GUARANTEE THAT THE GNSO WHICH SHOULD PLAY ANY ROLE IN REVIEWING ANY POLICY CHANGES IF THERE'S A CONSENSUS, IT WILL BE EASY FOR THE GNSO TO CONSIDER IT AND PROBABLY IMPLEMENT IT. TO SUM UP, LET'S GET STARTED WITH AN OPEN AND TRANSPARENT URS IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS SO THAT WE CAN REPORT ON ITS PROGRESS IN TORONTO. THANK YOU. STEVE CROCKER: THANK YOU.
