Comments Regarding ICM Process Options

[samantha <samantha_guedes@xxxxxxxx>]

Dear ICANN, 
I am writing to urge the ICANN Board to abide by the declaration of the 
Independent Review Panel and to enter into a registry agreement with ICM 
without further delay. 
Regardless of the nature of the sTLD, ICANN must respect the procedures it has 
established to ensure accountability to the wider Internet community.Failing to 
fully abide by the decision of the IRP will demonstrate that ICANN has no 
meaningful commitment to accountability, and will seriously damage ICANNs 
legitimacy and authority. 
Therefore, ICANN has only one option if it wishes to preserve the integrity of 
its procedures and its long-term credibility as the manager of the DNS: 
immediately execute a registry agreement with ICM and allow ICM to proceed with 
the launch of the sTLD.
