Extension Request Regarding Registrar Constituency Comments on Proposed 
Registrar Disqualification Procedure

BACKGROUND

In March 2009, the Registrar Constituency ("RC") was asked to provide feedback 
regarding the Proposed Registrar Disqualification Procedure ("DQ Procedure").

EXTENSION REQUESTED

At the Mexico City ICANN meeting, during the RC session held Tuesday March 3, 
ICANN staff advised the RC that a telephone conference call would be scheduled 
in the upcoming weeks for RC members to discuss the DQ Procedure with ICANN 
staff.  Further, during this session, ICANN staff provided assurances that it 
would be possible to extend the comment period deadline for the RC to provide 
comments on the DQ Procedure until after this conference call.

Because the date of the original comment period is set to end March 28, and 
because the conference call has not yet taken place, the RC kindly requests 
that ICANN extend the comment period deadline for DQ Procedure comments until 
at least 30 days after the DQ Procedure conference call is held, so as to allow 
the RC time to formulate and draft its comments.
