Negotiations of Proposed .biz and .info Registry Agreements Completed

The negotiations between ICANN and the registry operators for the new
.biz and .info top-level domains have resulted in completed registry
agreements.  The agreements and their supporting appendices may be 
viewed at <http://www.icann.org/tlds/>.  The agreements are undergoing 
a final, seven-day review by the ICANN Board before being signed.  
We expect the operators of these TLDs to make announcements regarding 
their start-up schedules in May.
