Members of the Business Constituency are aware that on November
10, 2011, the Department of Commerce issued a Request for Proposal
(RFP) SA1301-12-RP-IANA for a new IANA functions contract with a
deadline of December 19, 2011. <br>
<br>
Members of the Business Constituency are also aware that the
government reserved the right to cancel any solicitation that did
not meet the requirements _requested_by_the_global_community_
(emphasis added).<br>
<br>
Members of the Business Constituency are also aware that the
government canceled this RFP because no proposals were received
that met the requirements requested.<br>
<br>
Members of the Business Constituency are also aware that the only
proposal received by the government for that RFP was the proposal
submitted by the Corporation.<br>
<br>
Could you clarify why the Business Constituency believes that the
government might "choose to terminate the Affirmation of
Commitments", apparently an expression of the requirements
requested by the global community?<br>
<br>
Similarly, you clarify why the Business Constituency believes that
the Corporation might "choose to terminate the Affirmation of
Commitments", again, apparently an expression of the requirements
requested by the global community?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for the clarifications.<br>
