Dear Sirs,
Once again am compelled to write to you
to ask you to endorse the
International Air Transport Association
(IATA) sponsorship for ".travel"
TLD.
We, at JET AIRWAYS (I) LTD.,
believe the proposed governance of the
".travel" TLD, based on the
commitments made by IATA, will indeed be
representative of the travel
industry throughout its facets, throughout
the diversities of its
members and throughout the world. Furthermore the
".travel" TLD is
needed to fully develop the potential of Internet and
for the benefit
of the public.
I share the concern, with collegues of other airlines, that the
ICANN
Staff Report has not provided a fair consideration, nor has
it assigned
the proper weight to comments filed by other important
industry-related
organizations such as ASTA, UFTAA, the International
Hotel and Restaurant
Assoc., the World Travel & Tourism Council,
and many others, as well as
to the evaluation performed by the Berkman
Center for Internet & Society
at Harvard Law School.
I request
the ICANN Board to select the ".travel" TLD application at the
upcoming
meeting.
Sincerely,
S. Forte
Chief Executive Officer
JET AIRWAYS (I)
LTD.
