that was discussed on the BC call this past Monday because I think that there may
be many others like myself that need further information to understand this
important debate. I am speaking of the difference between ‘sunrise
periods’ and the new ‘IP clearinghouse’ and would like to
know the rationale behind NOT having both, as well as why ICANN would push back
on the GAC vis-à-vis the GAC’s wish to continue the clearinghouse AFTER
launch of a new TLD.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
