[client com] Request for a quote on two tasks

[Greg Shatan]

Sharon,

I started to put together some background information on the IANA
trademarks that might be helpful to you and your colleagues, once you get
the green light to proceed.  It's based on information publicly available
through the US Patent & Trademark Office website and the ICANN website, so
there's nothing unique here, but it might save a little time and effort.
