Jon:

ICANN solicited and received this information regarding recent  
questions concerning the RRA and Appendix 8 of the VeriSign Registry  
agreement. I think the documents are clear - I had some trouble with  
the attachment, let me know if you have trouble opening it.

Also note that VeriSign sent the document last week - I received it  
to a mail folder where I did not see it until John Jeffrey contacted  
me yesterday, wondering why I did not send it.

I am available to discuss anytime. If you wish to talk before Sunday,  
call me at xxx-xxx-xxxx (my cell phone does not work here).

Regards,

Kurt
