Subject: Comments of Business Constituency, reflecting majority support but
lacking required quorum

In accordance with our Charter, the Business Constituency (BC) conducted a
poll of its members on 2 position statements addressing separate aspects of
the Applicant Guidebook, version 4.

Both position statements were approved by a clear majority of those voting,
but the number of voters was 2 short of the required quorum of 26.   Because
this BC poll did not reach the required quorum, the BC Executive Committee
followed its Charter in determining to submit these position statements as
minority positions.

*** Comment part 1: DAGv4 BC points 1-3.pdf

updated these prior comments to reflect some recommendations of the latest
economic analysis provided to ICANN.
