        As a supporter of the .coop tld, COPAC was pleased to note that the ICANN staff review concluded that the proposal for .coop/.co-op is both technically and financially sound.  we also noted with satisfaction the wide support received from co-ops and their partners. 

This new tld will make a difference to Internet users worldwide.  It  will enhance competition in domain name registry services, but more importantly it will help consumers find the businesses they trust on the Internet and enhance the co-op image throughout the world.  Because the word co-op/coop is recognized across the globe to represent businesses that are owned and operated by their members, .co-op will make a strong new addition to existing TLDs.

COPAC again wishes to express its support and urge ICANN approve .coop/.co-op as a Special Purpose TLD.
