[registrars] FW: RRAs
All: FYI. Jon -----Original Message----- From: Kurt Pritz [mailto:pritz@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, December 29, 2006 8:58 PM To: Nevett, Jonathon Cc: John Jeffrey; Tim Cole Subject: Fwd: RRAs 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).
