Procedure for use by ICANN in considering requests for consent and
related contractual amendments to allow changes in the architecture or operation
of a gTLD registry.
The BC has not completed its internal
consultation on this matter and hence our contribution is only draft at this
time. Additionally, while we have drafted specific responses to the four main
tasks identified in the Staff Report and TOR, these are not included at this
time and will be forthcoming when we are able to confirm the final status of our
contribution to date.
Business users and BC members rely upon a
reliable, stable and secure Internet as the providers of critical connectivity
and transport infrastructure of the Internet, developers of the applications and
innovative use of the internet, and, of course, as day-to-day users of the
Internet. For these reasons, changes to a core element of the Internet, ie.
registry services of the gTLDs, are of critical importance. We look forward to
contributing to the Task Force's work.
Sincerely
Elected Representatives of the
BC
