Public Comment Period Ought to be Extended

["Dan C. Rinnert" <dcr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Given that in both North America and Europe the summer months, 
especially in late summer right before school starts, are popular 
vacation periods, many people have not learned about the new proposed 
registry agreements until very recently.

The fact that the bulk of public comment has been within the last few 
days is further evidence of this.

With a deadline for comments on this forthcoming Monday, it is a 
rather short period for many people to thoughtfully read and comment 
on the changes.

Given that fact, plus the fact that these proposed changes, if 
approved, will affect a great many domain owners, including small 
businesses and non-profit organizations alike, the public comment 
period ought to be extended by at least another 30 days.

Since the existing contracts for the .BIZ, .INFO, and .ORG registries 
do not run out anytime soon, there is little reason to rush these new 
agreements and not allow the public an extended period in which to 
comment.

Best regards,
