"Bruce Tonkin" <Bruce.Tonkin@melbourneit.com.au> 10/03/03 09:55AM >>> Advisory Concerning Demand to Remove VeriSign's Wildcard http://www.icann.org/announcements/advisory-03oct03.htm
ICANN's President and CEO Paul Twomey is asking the Generic Names Supporting Organization to formulate a proposal for a timely, transparent and predictable procedure for the introduction of new registry services, including as to how a reasonable determination of the likelihood that a proposed change will have adverse effects. This process, to be conducted under the GNSO's new streamlined policy development process, should be completed by 15 January 2004."
So we are being asked to conduct "prior review" of all new registry services? To me, that sounds like a fundamentally wrong-headed approach to this problem. Perhaps I misunderstand what is being asked for. I look forward to discussing this with other Councillors.
