Good morning: Regarding the following public comment question, I would like to know what EURALO and ALAC's final position was? Public Comment: Proposed ICANN Process for Handling Requests for Removal of Cross-Ownership Restrictions for Existing gTLDs Existing registry operators assert that they need their current restrictions on cross-ownership to be removed in order to be able to compete on a level-playing field with registrars that are planning to apply to operate new gTLDs. Commencing a public comment period on the process at this time is intended to solicit community input so the Board may consider the process on 20 June 2011 along with the new gTLD Applicant Guidebook. 2 May 2011 I do not agree with the removal of cross-ownership restrictions as proposed, for the reasons which I set out in some detail in my comments last August: http://forum.icann.org/lists/vi-pdp-initial-report/pdfFZQIl7H2Er.pdf Before making further public comments, I would be grateful for some feedback from At Large and the Staff as to how we got from there to here. Regards, CW
