BBVA comments on Proposal for a Specification 13 to the ICANN Registry Agreement

[IRENE RODRIGUEZ ALONSO <i.rodriguez.alonso@xxxxxxxx>]

Dear Sirs,

BBVA supports the Brand Registry Group Proposal for a Specification 13 to
the ICANN Registry Agreement.

We would also like to echo and endorse the comments made by Valideus and
KMPG, submitted last 30 December 2013 and 6 January 2014, respectively.

Specification 13 will facilitate greater business flexibility for .brands
to reinforce their core message as innovative, secure online platforms
absent of fraud or infringement and rich in consumer confidence.

Thank you for considering the above; we remain available for providing any
further comments or useful clarifications.

Yours faithfully,

Irene Rodríguez
