Dear Ross, Thank you for that - we will update accordingly in the next draft of the Initial Report now under way. Also, I do refute any allegations of staff 'mishandling' the previous submission. Best regards Olof -----Original Message----- From: Ross Rader [mailto:ross@tucows.com] Sent: Thursday, March 02, 2006 9:27 PM To: Liz Williams; olof.nordling@icann.org Cc: GNSO Council Subject: Registrar Statement on New gTLD Terms of Reference Please find attached the registrar statement on the new gTLD Terms of Reference. There is no material difference between this and the earlier submission, save and except the preamble which has been modified to provide you with a clear statement concerning how this submission qualifies as a formal constituency statement under the ICANN bylaws. I am concerned that despite my repeated clarifications for staff, that this submission continues to be mishandled. If there are any further concerns, I would prefer to hear about them before you bring the issue before council. -Ross
