Rita and Chuck, Sorry for the late submission. Also, it looks like I may not be able to make the call tomorrow, but will certianly be on if at all possible. I have two questions: The ICANN Staff recently submitted to the Council a synthesis on single-character names at the second level. One of the auction methods it states as having been suggested is "managed or qualified auction for those with prior rights." While the synthesis only makes this single mention of prior rights, it is likely to become a much bigger issue. What is your view or position regarding prior rights claims to single-character names at the second level? There is likely to be ongoing policy work regarding the allocation of "IDN ccTLDs." Any resultant policy will have a significant impact on both the gTLD and ccTLD communities. In your view, is this an example of a need for a cross-SO policy development process? In your view, is a cross-SO process reasonable to consider given the evolving nature of the Internet? Thanks, Tim
