</head>
<body>
<font size="4"><font face="Optima, Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:11pt">Attached is the draft BC comment on ICANN’s proposed final guidebook for new gTLDs. <br>
<br>
The genesis of this draft was our member call on 18-Nov. ( audio at <font color="#0000FF"><u><a href="http://drop.io/gnso_private/asset/gnso-bc-20101118-en-mp3">http://drop.io/gnso_private/asset/gnso-bc-20101118-en-mp3</a></u></font> ; a transcript of the call was distributed earlier) .<br>
<br>
Several BC members volunteered as Rapporteurs. We worked thru 2 rounds of edits to get a draft to present to BC membership. For edits that I felt lacked consensus, I included dissenting remarks and questions in the body of the document <font color="#0000FF">[ in brackets and in blue ]</font>. <br>
<br>
We are allowing 10 days to review and approve these comments. That would allow us to finalize by 3-Dec, before meetings begin in Cartagena. That is less than the 14-days called for in our Charter, but I will ask the BC executive committee for an abbreviated review under the circumstances. <br>
<br>
Please review and comment on the draft and on the inserted dissents and questions.<br>
<br>
Thanks again to the rapporteurs named below for their efforts thus far. <br>
