Subject: Request for an extension of time to consider this important
settlement agreement

We the undersigned registrars, request that the public comment period on
the proposed agreement with Verisign be extended until Sunday 4 Dec
2005 so as to allow opportunities for in-person public discussions
during the upcoming ICANN meeting in Vancouver.  This we believe is
consistent with the spirit of Article III, Section 6, paragraph 2 of the
ICANN bylaws, which states that: 
"Where both practically feasible and consistent with the relevant policy
development process, an in-person public forum shall also be held for
discussion of any proposed policies as described in Section 6(1)(b) of
this Article, prior to any final Board action.

(in order of signing)
