<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=879580008-05112008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>What's the rationale for limiting the extension to only
those public comment periods that would otherwise end during the ICANN
meeting? Given the historical pattern of releasing for public comment a
number of documents (often quite long an/or complex) immediately before the
meetings, I would suggest that we consider applying the extension to
any public comment period that is in progress during an ICANN
meeting.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
