<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">In advance of our call today, please see the attached. In sum, it is not clear why these came up in a search on the provider’s website for “delay” as the term was not in any
of the cases (I have re-run the search several times, and had a colleague do the same, including in different browsers).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">In either event, some of the cases were filed the same month as the DDN was registered, and the longest stretch was one year.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">None of these would not fall into what would be considered a “delay” in filing type scenario.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">In fact, on reflection, given that new gTLDs have launched from 2014 to the present, it is difficult to make a case for invoking the “delay” doctrine at all in URS cases so
far. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I suggest this is a useful data point for our consideration.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
