[ga] Procedure for Subsequent Registry Agreement

[Danny Younger <dannyyounger@xxxxxxxxx>]

Vint,

The current .info, .biz and .org contracts have a
"Procedure for Subsequent Agreement" provision that
states:

"5.2.1. Registry Operator may, no later than eighteen
months prior to the initial Expiration Date, submit a
written proposal to ICANN for the extension of this
Agreement for an additional term (the "Renewal
Proposal"). The Renewal Proposal shall contain a
detailed report of the Registry Operator's operation
of the Registry TLD and include a description of any
additional Registry Services, proposed improvements to
Registry Services, or changes in price or other terms
of service. ICANN shall provide an initial response to
the Renewal Proposal within thirty days of receiving
it and, during a period of at least six months after
receiving the Renewal Proposal, ICANN shall consider
the Renewal Proposal and meet with Registry Operator
to discuss the Renewal Proposal, but the decision
whether to accept the Renewal Proposal shall be in
ICANN's sole discretion."

The recently posted proposed new registry agreements
do not include a registry operational report, proposed
registry improvements, etc.  Can we expect to have
this information made available to us prior to the
expiration of the current comment period so that we
may better arrive at an informed decision?

Best regards,
Danny
