IOC/Red Cross public comments period

[Konstantinos Komaitis]

Dear all,

The public comments period concerning the special protection for the Red Cross and Olympic terms has now opened and can be accessed through http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/ioc-rcrc-proposal-02mar12-en.htm

As you know this is an issue which has raised and continues to raise significant issues relating to transparency, multistakeholder input , the role of the GAC and its relationship with the GNSO as well as issues relating to the expansion of existing rights to the potential detriment of other rights holders.

May I request that everybody who has commented, and everyone who wanted to comment, to please do so? The timeframe is considerably strict, but at some point there was even a suggestion to skip it!

Cheers

Konstantinos
