[registrars] Verisign change to operation of the .com DNS lookup service

[Elana Broitman]

I note that Ross' motion received one "second."  Our rules of procedure require 5 endorsements, so I will add myself to the endorsement list.

If Ross can get 3 more, it can go forward for a vote.  I also note, however, that the relevant date for getting our position heard is the GNSO Council's Sept. 25th telephone meeting.  There seems to be a great deal of interest and concern among constituency members.  Therefore, if there are no objections, I would recommend that we use boardrooms to vote on an expedited basis, so that a vote could be concluded by the 24th.  Is there any objection?

Regards,

Here's a motion for discussion

"The Registrar Constituency strongly recommends that the GNSO Council 
advocate that ICANN explicitly require gTLD Registry Operators to return 
an NXDOMAIN response for DNS records that do not exist and that in all 
cases, wild-card entries in gTLD zones should be strictly forbidden."

There are any number of reasons why this is desirable, I don't think I 
need to rehash those.
