Dear Vint / ICANN Board
 
Thank you for your email. We appreciate the initiative of opening a direct
communication channel. we are working towards a set of clear concerns with
regards to the .com settlement. while there is undoubtedly a set of specific
micro concerns related to specific points in the settlement agreement, there
are also several macro concerns which do not apply to specific clauses, but
instead apply to the process, the way the settlement was carried out, the
impact of such a process on the community, the comparison of such a process
with the perceived role of ICANN etc etc.
 
The process is likely to take some time, and it is our effort to try and get
this done as soon as possible. I am copying the Registrars constituency on
this email. We look forward to meeting up with the board at Vancouver to
discuss this
Best Regards

Dear Bhavin Turakhia:   

 

In an ongoing effort to support community dialogue and consultation
regarding the VeriSign settlement agreement, the Board is extending the
period for comment by requesting that the Registrar Constituency submit
concise, actionable comments regarding the settlement's effect on the
Registrar community.  Please email these comments to
<settlement-statements@xxxxxxxxx>, ideally prior to the ICANN Vancouver
meeting, so ICANN can use these comments as a basis for continued dialogue.
The Board invites the Registrar Constituency to discuss the settlement with
the Board during the ICANN Vancouver meeting and, additionally, will listen
to comments regarding the settlement during the Vancouver Public Forum.  The
Board has set aside time to meet with the Registrar Constituency in
Vancouver, and staff will follow-up to confirm the details.

 

The Board appreciates the comments and questions about the settlement posted
in ICANN's public forum and raised in meetings with staff since the
settlement was announced on 24 October.  Additional Q & A's (questions and
answers) will be posted on ICANN's website to address key issues raised and
support further dialogue and consultation.

 

We appreciate your constituency's efforts to assist the Board in determining
whether the proposed settlement agreement is in the best interests of the
entire Internet community.  We look forward to seeing you and your
colleagues in Vancouver.

 

Sincerely,

 

Vint Cerf
