<div dir="ltr">Dear Marilyn,<div><br></div><div style="">These are excellent
points. We completely agree with your suggestion that Fadi conduct
further outreach with business users and non-contracted parties generally.
We also believe that it makes more sense for him to appear as a guest
speaker at various industry group events where senior executives are already
present, rather than to attempt to invite them personally to exclusive
roundtables.</div> <div style=""><br></div><div style="">Best,</div><div

BC Members,<br> <br> </div> <div>Message from BC Chair:<br> <br> Fadi explained
that his priority is focusing on the contracted party CEOs. I do want to ask
your views on the BC asking Fadi to also work with the non contracted parties
to be inclusive -- at a reasonably scheduled time frame -- with senior
executives from within the CSG's communities, although at this point, I am not
clear what the timing would be for a roundtable, and we may prefer different
models, with Fadi as a guest speaker at various industry group events, rather
than an exclusive roundtable with only a few senior executives. It is
also very hard to justify having CEOs from our communities for a special event,
while it is easier to bring Fadi to them, if they are already at an industry
event. </div> <div><br> </div> <div>But it seems to me to be important to
keep it up front and present that ICANN is not and should not become a trade
association for contracted parties. His ideas for gaining buy in for
improving compliance and accepting responsibility for self governance model
that ICANN represents is helpful, but the point made during the Intercessional
is that is not enough, and that the participation from the rest of the
stakeholders is essential as a safeguard and as a rightful
participant. </div> <div><br> </div> <div>Marilyn Cade, BC Chair</div>

Chehadé</span> on February 5, 2013<u></u><u></u></span></div> </div> <div>
<div><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">On
Monday, I was very pleased to host more than a dozen leaders from the registry
community; participants in our latest CEO Roundtable series focused on key
issues and trends within the Domain Name System
sector.<u></u><u></u></span></div> <div><span
style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Over the course
of a day, we discussed the evolution of the DNS sector from a number of
perspectives and explored the opportunities and risks that these changes pose.
The group provided constructive ideas about creating a platform for growth,
innovation, and greater consumer and investor awareness. Research analysis, the
creation of an infographic depicting the DNS ecosystem, and mechanisms to
educate the media and public about the DNS sector were also
highlighted.<u></u><u></u></span></div> <div><span
style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">In short, we
addressed common goals, shared responsibilities and the value of raising
awareness among consumers worldwide of the DNS sector, affirming our commitment
to the public interest. I also expressed my hope and vision for a strengthened
and streamlined business contracting framework between ICANN and its contracted
parties.<u></u><u></u></span></div> <div><span
style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">While the topic
of the roundtable was not the new gTLD program, I was asked to clarify recent
comments I made at the ICANN Registry and Registrar meeting in Amsterdam. I
took the opportunity to reassure everyone that:<u></u><u></u></span></div> <ul
type="disc"> <li class="MsoNormal" style=""><span
style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">ICANN remains
focused on the new gTLD timeline, and I am confident that we can do so without
comprising ICANN’s deep, immovable commitment to the stability of the
DNS.<u></u><u></u></span></li> </ul> <ul type="disc"> <li class="MsoNormal"
style=""><span
style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">We do not
foresee any delays of the new gTLD program, we are working to assure that none
occur, and the entire organization is pressing forward to comply with
deadlines.<u></u><u></u></span></li> </ul> <ul type="disc"> <li
class="MsoNormal" style=""><span
style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">We have
assembled a team of qualified professionals, experienced in making complex
programs fully operational, and they have my full confidence. Staff is working
hard and it is important for the community to be aware of the intense demands
placed upon them by the schedule.<u></u><u></u></span></li> <li
class="MsoNormal" style=""><span
style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">We will continue
to increase the volume of communications pertaining to operational details of
the new gTLD program, addressing both the technical and political risks
encountered at various decision points.<u></u><u></u></span></li> </ul> <ul
type="disc"> <li class="MsoNormal" style=""><span
style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">I will also
endeavor to explain, to the extent possible, the trade-offs and various
considerations being balanced during each implementation milestone of the new
gTLD program.<u></u><u></u></span></li> </ul> <div class="MsoNormal"
style="font-size:12pt;margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span
style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">I am grateful to
the registry leaders for their candid, constructive feedback and look forward
to continued dialogue as we host more CEO roundtables through the spring.
