I applaud the ICANN staff report for concluding that
NCBA's proposal for .co-op is both technically and financially sound and for appropriately
including .co-op among the proposed TLDs still under consideration and for noting
the broad public support for .co-op.I would encourage ICANN to take a serious
look at the hundreds of millions of people worldwide who are members of cooperatives.
The International Co-operative Alliance is a great resource to paint the global cooperative
picture (www.co-op.org).
My co-op is one of about 10 co-ops in the Austin (TX)
area. We provide housing for about 165 students from the local universities and colleges.
Thank
you for your time,
