<div dir="ltr">ICANN and GoDaddy Registry,<div><br></div><div>The RrSG appreciates the opportunity to review the proposed changes to the RRAs for .BLACKFRIDAY, .PHOTO, .COURSES and .STUDY. While the Registrars had concerns about some of the changes to the .COURSES and .STUDY RRAs (notably, the decrease in notice periods for material changes and elimination of RO indemnification of the registrar), but after conducting a balancing test and weighing the benefits of homogeneity across all GDR TLDs and the low DUM count in these two TLDs against the loss to registrars, we are comfortable without requesting changes to these provisions. As in any case where a balancing test is applied, we do not intend this allowance to be precedential for future RRAs.</div><div><br></div><div>The RrSG also asks, but notes that, under the Temporary Specification the DPA is sufficient as drafted, that the GDR consider including an option to add the UK SCCs (the ITDA), as applicable. </div><div><br></div><div>Finally, we noted a couple of limited typographical errors or broken section references. However, these errors were not reflected in the clean version provided, so we have not requested they be fixed. If it would be helpful, we would be happy to list them.</div><div><br></div><div>GoDaddy Registry, if you would consider including the ITDA, we would not ask for further review of that change. Otherwise, we request no changes to the RRA as drafted.</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you,</div><div>Catherine</div><div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><table style="color:rgb(34,34,34);padding:0px;margin:10px 0px;border:none"><tbody><tr><td style="vertical-align:middle;padding:0px 7px 0px 0px"><b style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:"Times New Roman";font-size:16px"><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Arial">Catherine Merdinger </span></b><b style="font-family:"Times New Roman";font-size:16px"><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Arial"><font color="#134f5c">|</font></span><span style="color:rgb(61,133,198);font-size:9pt;font-family:Arial"> </span></b><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-size:9pt;font-family:Arial">Corporate Counsel </span><b style="font-family:"Times New Roman";font-size:16px"><font color="#134f5c"><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Arial">|</span><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Arial"> </span><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Arial">Identity Digital</span><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Arial"> </span></font></b><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(102,102,102)">Inc.</span><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Arial"><font color="#3d85c6"> </font><b><font color="#134f5c">|</font></b><font color="#3d85c6"> </font></span><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-size:9pt;font-family:Arial">+1.319.541.9416 </span><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman";font-size:16px"><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Arial"><b><font color="#134f5c">|</font><font color="#3d85c6"> </font></b><font color="#000000">she/her</font></span></span><br></td><td style="vertical-align:middle;padding:0px 7px 0px 0px"></td></tr></tbody></table><div><p></p></div></div></div></div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Jun 30, 2022 at 6:59 PM ICANN Global Support Center <<a href="mailto:globalsupport@icann.org">globalsupport@icann.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
