Public Comment Period on Registries/Registrars Report Extended

8 December 2008

The public comment period on a report by CRA International on gTLD registries 
and registrars has been extended by one week to 15 December 2008.

The report, entitled "Revisiting Vertical Separation of Registries and 
Registrars", was commissioned in response to two Board resolutions, one seeking 
more information on the registry/registrar marketplace, and the other directing 
the development of a detailed implementation plan for the new gTLD policy.

The extension follows recent community discussion about public comment periods, 
in particular whether the week filled by ICANN's international public meetings 
should form a part of a comment period. It is in line with an identical 
extension for the Applicant Guidebook for new gTLDs, introduced last week.

The community is encouraged to send in its responses to the report and to the 
Applicant Guidebook.
