<P><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">Rationale: USCIB's comments likely stem from the GAC's role in advising on controversial and sensitive new gTLDs as part of the program currently underway. In practice, there were a number of constraints on the GAC's ability to arrange for particular applicants or directly affected stakeholders to present to the GAC about a particular string or application. Among these constraints, were the large number of applications in the program overall and the consequent large number of requests made to present to the GAC from both applicants and other affected stakeholders. All correspondence or materials received by the GAC were nevertheless posted for information purposes on the GAC website. </FONT></SPAN></P>
