[bc-gnso] Draft BC comment on Applicant guidebook - for member review and approval by 3-Dec

[Steve DelBianco]

Attached is the draft BC comment on ICANN’s proposed final guidebook for new gTLDs.

The genesis of this draft was our member call on 18-Nov. ( audio at http://drop.io/gnso_private/asset/gnso-bc-20101118-en-mp3   ; a transcript of the call was distributed earlier) .

Several BC members volunteered as Rapporteurs.  We worked thru 2 rounds of edits to get a draft to present to BC membership.   For edits that I felt lacked consensus, I included dissenting remarks and questions in the body of the document [ in brackets and in blue ].

We are allowing 10 days to review and approve these comments.   That would allow us to finalize by 3-Dec, before meetings begin in Cartagena.  That is less than the 14-days called for in our Charter, but I will ask the BC executive committee for an abbreviated review under the circumstances.

Please review and comment on the draft and on the inserted dissents and questions.

Thanks again to the rapporteurs named below for their efforts thus far.
