<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.6pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#111111">We support the detailed proposal submitted by .Club Domains, LLC and are in favor of using 15%, at a minimum, of the total auction funds to support a Global Awareness
Campaign as detailed in the .Club comment. Adoption and user-awareness are the biggest obstacles to the competition and diversity in the domain industry that ICANN is mandated to oversee. For ICANN to resist an effort to expand consumer awareness for any reason
would be an abdication of its important role in securing and promoting the future of the DNS.”</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
