Scottish Government Reply to QLP Addendum

[<Peter.Irving@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Sir or Madam,

Please find herewith the Scottish Government's formal reply to ICANN's 
consultation on QLP Addendum and responses thereto, sent on behalf of Mike 
Neilson, Director Digital -

      The Scottish Government welcomes ICANN's proposal for a Qualified Launch 
Programme for New gTLD Registries and is strongly supportive of the comments 
submitted by Alex Kinchin-Smith (London & Partners) to ICANN on 28 February 
2014 on behalf of geographically oriented applicants. In particular, the 
Scottish Government wishes to add its support to the call in paragraph two of 
this submission for the amendment of clause 2.2. of the Qualified Launch 
Programme Addendum so that it would allow gTLD operators that have received the 
formal backing of governments during the new gTLD application process - whether 
or not their application was designated by ICANN as a geographic name - to 
ensure that the Qualified Launch Programme is suitable for their TLD community.

Yours faithfully,

Peter Irving
