Dear ICANN Board Member,
I am writing in regards to the Internet Corporation for
the Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Request for Proposals for the reassignment
of the .ORG Top Level Domain (TLD) to a new Registry Operator.As you know, NeuStar,
Inc., has filed a formal application with ICANN to become the new Registry Operator
for .ORG. I would like to take this opportunity to express my support for NeuStar's
selection as the new Registry for .ORG.
Over the past several years, NeuStar has
a proven track record of managing two new TLDs and our experience in dealing with
NeuStar as a direct customer has been excellent. NeuStar has consistently delivered
on their promises and we very much appreciate that.
In addition, I would like to
emphasize that we are highly supportive of NeuStar's neutral, non-compete Registry
business model. As a NeuStar customer, we like the fact that they only act
as a Registry, and they do not attempt to be a Registrar. We believe that this
is the best business model for this industry and the .ORG Registry Operator.
Thank
you for your consideration in this matter.
Sincerely,
Clint Page
President,
