<p class="MsoNormal">In light of our ongoing discussions about the Request for Reconsideration process and our expected discussions about the Ombudsman, we thought that the Ombudsman’s May 28 “<a href="http://omblog.icann.org/index.html%3Fp=1143.html">Report
on Dot Amazon</a>” may be of interest to the CCWG. As you will see, the Ombudsman concludes “<span style="color:black">As a result of this investigation, I consider that the existing structure has some issues, but that this is a matter for perhaps the current
examination of accountability structures and the review of the New GTLD programme in the future.”
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">I have also attached our two letters to the Ombudsman. We had requested that the Ombudsman publish the letters in connection with his report. We understood that he had agreed to do so, but the letters have not
yet been published.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
