Re: [council] FW: .biz, .info new domain news

[Michael Chicoine <mchicoine@pol.net>]

At a minimum, I would like to send a copy of our press release to this 
 organization.  Louis, can you also comment either via email or during 
our next teleconference call what if anything is being done on the 
ICANN level to address this problem.  In particular, in negotiating 
with the new TLD applicants, are you having them build in mechanisms 
that truly make the registration process first come first served 
without any prefence given to these pre-registrants?  If so, what kind 
of mechanisms are being proposed?

AnnouncementDear NC members,

This note I'd received is of concern to me b/c of the 
pre-registration,
including offers of commissions. It's also unclear to me whether
cybersquatting laws cover this kind of behavior. We'd seen this in an
earlier phase of the new gTLD application process, so I wanted to 
foward it.

Would be interested in the views/thoughts.

Theresa
