Further to Maria's invitation to post specific questions for ICANN's GC let me add one further question to the three (repeated 1,2,3 below) already asked by Marilyn Cade. Questions 1. What is the situation in terms of the impact of the negotiated terms in the .net agreement on other contracts, including .com? 2. What is the role of Consensus Policy related to the .net agreement in the two areas where it appears that there is variance: definition of security and stability, and Consensus Policy on new registry services: e.g., is there a time lapse when consensus policy, whatever it is, again is in force? 3. Are other registries actually disadvantaged by being subject to Consensus Policy in a way that is "disparate" as suggested in Mr. Neuman's email? ------- 4. The GNSO Council wants to fulfil its duty under the by-laws to develop Consensus Policy in good faith. How do you advise the GNSO Council to proceed, if there will indeed be a potential competitive variance between the treatment of the .net registry and others, with respect to the GNSO Council's current PDP on Registry Services?
