Greetings,
I have two AOB requests/questions for
staff for our 24 February Council meeting.
1. Schedule for San Francisco
Meeting: What is the difference (other than the day) between the
two "New gTLD Program: Discussion of Issues Identified by [GAC]" sessions
that are scheduled for Monday and Wednesday? Also, why is the Public
Forum scheduled for only 2 hours (down from 5 in Cartagena) given that the
room appears to be open long enough for a 4-hour public forum?
2. Study on defense
registrations/registrant behavior: Today's announcement "New gTLD
Program: Public Comment Summary & Analyses and Supporting Documents
refers to a to-be-released "study of defensive registrations and registrant
behavior in order to better understand the prevalence of defensive
registrations in new gTLDs." If that document has not been released by
the time of our meeting, a brief summary from staff would be greatly
appreciated. (In the alternative, I will be more than happy to forward
to the appropriate staff person the tens of emails I've received asking me
about it.)
Many thanks.
K
