[Comments-net-renewal-20apr17] Essential inclusion of Single Character Labels into Verisign's .net Registry Agreement

[William Blackwood]

1.        First Place Internet, Inc. public comment:

 

 

Background:

 

Via ICANN's 2007 Reserved Names Working Group, Verisign received permission
from ICANN in 2010 to sell its single character label .net domain names.
Having achieved this valuable concession, Verisign needs to document and
codify it in the Registry Agreement. Failure to do so will be to the
significant detriment of Verisign's shareholders and customers.

 

Recommendation:

The language of Appendix A of Registry Request Service Ticket ID:
X2A2P-4O7C4 (status date 2010-08-12) should be added, with appropriate
modification, to the current proposed Registry Agreement for .NET

Bill:

 

I just sent a draft .Net comment letter for review by the Board. That draft
was based upon an outline I sent them two weeks ago and that they
subsequently approved. Therefore it does not have any language along the
lines of what you have suggested.

 

However, in my cover email I let the Board know of your request, shared its
language,  and told them that I had no issue with its objective. The Board
should soon be sharing the draft letter with all ICA members and you will
have an opportunity to advocate for its inclusion.

 

Two questions about your comment:

1.       Do you have a link to/text of Appendix A of Registry Request
Service Ticket ID: X2A2P-4O7C4?

2.       Why just single character domains? Why not 2-character as well,
since the Board approved them for new gTLDs in November 2016?

 

That's all I have for now. I'll be monitoring any email on this from
Barcelona.

 

Best regards,

Philip
