[NCUC-DISCUSS] ICANN Receives Letter from California Attorney General Regarding .ORG Change of Control

[Bruna Martins dos Santos]

Dear NCUC,

FYI

During this morning, at the NCSG call with Board Member Matthew Shears, he
mentioned that the Office of the Attorney General of the State of
California has requested information from ICANN regarding the PIR deal. The
correspondence
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/ca-ago-to-icann-board-23jan20-en.pdf>
asks a set of 35 questions/requests to ICANN, from organizational matters,
ICANNs capacity to regulate the registration fees and so on.

Icann also issued a blog post
<https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2020-01-30-en> explaining that
they are also


*"providing formal notice to PIR, pursuant to the terms of the PIR Registry
Agreements, because the CA-AGO has requested that ICANN provide information
that PIR designated as confidential.In addition, the CA-AGO has asked for
more time, surpassing the current ICANN deadline to review the proposed
change of control of the PIR Registry Agreements that is currently set as
17 February 2020. Accordingly, the letter from ICANN to PIR requests
additional time, up to 20 April 2020, to conclude both the CA-AGO and ICANN
reviews."*
Best regards,
