<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Thanks Emily.  I am submitting an “issues sheet” comment on Package 2 but need to clarify the question shown in the attachment.  The language in 2.10.2 redrafts the affirmation regarding the requirement to use
 ICANN-accredited registrars.  It appears to state that the WG endorses the idea that a registry can get a Code of Conduct exemption that would allow it to use
<u>unaccredited </u>registrars.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I don’t recall that being a consensus of the Working Group so I am trying to understand why the document implies that we are okay with ICANN granting exemptions from the Code of Conduct to allow registries to
 use unaccredited registrars.  I’m sure Jeff and Cheryl can shed some light on this.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
