ICANN has released some criteria for deciding who gets to operate the .net registry. The GNSO is soliciting comments on the draft report for three weeks. Marc Schneiders was our representative on this "subcommittee" so I encourage him to alert us to any issues. I have read the report and it looks pretty straightforward. ===== Draft Criteria for .net First 20-day Public Comment Period begins on 28 May 2004 ends on 18 June 2004 at 00:00 UTC The initial draft report from the GNSO subcommittee can be viewed here. http://www.icann.org/tlds/dotnet-reassignment/Dot%20net%20committee%20v6.pdf Please send comments to: [log in to unmask] comment archives at: http://forum.icann.org/lists/dotnet-criteria/
