This email services as notice of information to the Council that ICANN has posted a new Registry Service proposal on behalf of NeuStar for the .BIZ 1 and 2 Character Marketing Proposal (see http://www.icann.org/en/registries/rsep/#2008010). This request is currently in ICANN's 15-calendar day preliminary determination period. Although public comments can be submitted at any time on a registry services proposal to registryservice at icann.org, this is not notification of a formal comment period. Information on the Registry Services Evaluation Process can be found at http://www.icann.org/registries/rsep/. Please let me know if you have any questions. I hope to arrive in Cairo this afternoon.
