THE BUSINESS CONSTITUENCY WAS DISAPPOINTED THAT THE CONTRACT NEGOTIATION PROCESS DIDN'T RESULT IN A THICK WHOIS. WE'RE ALSO A BIT DISAPPOINTED AT THE QUALITY OF THE RATIONALE AND EXPLANATION FOR NOT ADDRESSING THAT. AND I REALIZE THAT WE MIGHT STILL GET A GREATER RATIONALE LATER ON. NONETHELESS, THE BC IS COMMITTED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE POLICY DEVELOPMENT PROCESS SUCH THAT THICK WHOIS BECOMES A CONSENSUS POLICY WITHIN THE PICKET FENCE. AND WE TAKE SOME SOLACE IN KNOWING THAT DOING IT THAT WAY, WHILE IT MAY TAKE A LITTLE LONGER, WILL HAVE A FAR BROADER REACH. BECAUSE ONCE WE GET IT IN AS A CONSENSUS POLICY, IT WILL APPLY NOT ONLY TO THE DOT COM BUT ALSO TO THE ONLY OTHER THIN REGISTRY DOT NET WHICH CAPTURES ANOTHER CHUNK OF USERS. SO IT WILL TAKE A LITTLE LONGER, PROBABLY ANOTHER YEAR. BUT I AM DETERMINED THAT WE COVER THICK WHOIS FOR EVERYONE AND IN THIS PROCESS SHOULD GET IT DONE SOONER. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:13.5pt;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:13.5pt;color:black'>PHILIP CORWIN</span></b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:13.5pt;color:black'> REPRESENTING DEVELOPERS AT BOTH THE TOP AND SECOND LEX. I JUST WANTED TO THANK THE BOARD FOR REJECTING THE SECTIONS OF SOME PARTIES WHO COMMENTED ON THE DOT COM RENEWAL THAT A MANDATE TO IMPLEMENT UNIFORM RAPID SUSPENSION AT SOME POINT IN THE CONTRACT TERM BE INCLUDED IN THE CONTRACT. SOME PARTIES SUGGESTED THAT WERE THE VERY SAME PARTIES THAT URGED REFERRAL OF UDRP REFORM SO THAT THE EXPERIENCE WITH URS COULD BE CONSIDERED AND THE QUESTION ADDRESSED OF WHETHER IT SHOULD BE IMPOSED ON INCUMBENT REGISTRIES AT SOME TIME IN THE FUTURE TURNING TO THE PRICING PROVISIONS I WOULD NOTE THAT ICA WAS BORN OUT OF THE DEBATE OVER THOSE PROVISIONS SIX YEARS AGO. THERE'S NO NEED TO REVISIT THAT DEBATE. BUT WE DO HOPE THE NEW gTLD PROCESS WILL INTERVIEWS VIGOROUS PRICE COMPETITION INTO THE gTLD MARKETPLACE, WHICH WILL BENEFIT ALL DOMAIN REGISTRANTS.
