Our goal has been to provide the CWG with some clear information about the thinking of IANA customers about aspects of the transition from the USG. Whilst this guidance document is not, at this stage, specifically endorsed by registries, it has been put together with input from those registries listed below. It is intended to be constructive and to assist the various design teams with their work whilst at the same time providing guidance about the areas that registries may consider to be critical aspects of the plan that the CWG is designing. All of us are happy to engage with the CWG on any aspects of this document or answer any questions.</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#666666'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#666666'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#666666'>Registries:<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#666666'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#666666'>auDA (.au)<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#666666'>CIRA (.ca)<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#666666'>Internet NZ (.nz)<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#666666'>DENIC (.de)<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#666666'>SIDN (.nl)<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#666666'>Internet Infrastructure Foundation (.se)<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#666666'>AusRegistry International<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#666666'>Afilias<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#666666'>Google<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#666666'>Neustar<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#666666'>PIR<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#666666'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#424242'>Cheers,</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#666666'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=p3><span style='color:#666666'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=p2><span style='color:#666666'>Chris Disspain<span class=s1><span style='color:#666666'> </span></span><span class=s2><span style='color:#666666'>|</span></span><span class=s1><span style='color:#666666'> </span></span>Chief Executive Officer<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=p2><span style='color:#666666'>.au Domain Administration Ltd<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=p2><span style='color:#666666'>T: <span class=s3>+61 3 8341 4111</span><span class=s1><span style='color:#666666'> </span></span><span class=s2><span style='color:#666666'>|</span></span><span class=s1><span style='color:#666666'> </span></span>F: <span class=s3>+61 3 8341 4112</span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=p4><span class=s4><span style='color:#666666'>E:</span></span><span class=s1><span style='color:#666666'> <a href="mailto:ceo@auda.org.au"><span class=s5><span style='color:blue'>ceo@auda.org.au</span></span></a> </span></span><span class=s6><span style='color:#666666'>|</span></span><span class=s1><span style='color:#666666'> </span></span><span class=s4><span style='color:#666666'>W:</span></span><span class=s7><span style='color:#666666'> <a href="http://www.auda.org.au/"><span class=s8><span style='color:blue'>www.auda.org.au</span></span></a></span></span><span class=apple-converted-space><span style='color:#666666'> </span></span><span style='color:#666666'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=p2><span style='color:#666666'>auDA – Australia’s Domain Name Administrator<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=p5><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#666666'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></div></div></body></html>
