<div>The Brand Registry Group (<a href="http://brandregistrygroup.org">link</a>) has proposed a new Spec 13 for .brand registries (<a href="https://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/spec13-06dec13-en.htm">link</a>). On our 9-Jan call, Andy Abrams and Stephanie Duchesneau

<div>Their draft was discussed on our 16-Jan call. Andy and Stephanie suggest 2 amendments for benefit of business users, regarding affiliates and sunrise periods. They also note that the BC addressed several dot-brand registry issues in pages 9-12 of our
2010 Comments (<a href="http://www.bizconst.org/Positions-Statements/BC%20on%20Final%20App%20Guidebook.pdf" target="_blank">link</a>).</div>
