<br>
Available for up to 90 minutes.<br>
<br>
BTW: what happens if a brand gTLD decides down the road to give up
exclusivity and become available for general use, at some poiunt
that might make perfect business sense. Like Amr I don't like the
process used but then again they will say the GNSO is too slow,
just because we follow the rules.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks. It seems reasonable to have
Martin Sutton available on tomorrow’s call. I have been
trying to catch up on this issue and prepare to be as
informed as possible before our discussion tomorrow. We will
only have 20 minutes for this purpose on tomorrow’s call as
per the posted meeting agenda, so I have doubts about how
informed we will be at the meeting’s end.<o:p></o:p></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">We will however have time to explore this
issue further following the call, and I would like to second
the idea Thomas suggested on another thread of reaching out
to some of the original WG members to get some insight on
the context of the original WG recommendation and
discussions leading up to them. Although it seems the .Brand
registries model was not taken into consideration at the
time, a briefing by the WG members may help us reach a
decision on how to proceed with our response to the board.<o:p></o:p></p>

style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Finally,
you may have already seen that ICANN has recently
posted the correspondence from Gretchen Olive, CSC,
which was sent through on the morning of the NGPC
meeting in Singapore. The correspondence includes
letters from 48 .brand applicants, arranged in just a
couple of days, urging ICANN to reinstate the
exclusive registrar provision. Considering most of
these companies are not BRG members and would have had
to jump considerable hoops in order to issue public
statements of this nature, I think it is useful for
the GNSO Council to bear in mind when considering
their response to spec 13 - there is a much broader
impact than just the BRG. A copy of the
correspondence can be found here -<span
