The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) opened on February 13, 2009 a public comment forum on a proposed amendment from NeuStar to Appendix 6 and 7 of the .BIZ Registry Agreement, a press release by ICANN stated.
On October 31, 2008, ICANN posted for public information a request submitted by NeuStar through the Registry Services Evaluation Process for a phased allocation process for single and two-character names in .BIZ.
As provided for by existing consensus policy (http://www.icann.org/en/registries/rsep/rsep.html), ICANN has undertaken a preliminary determination to determine whether the proposal might raise significant security or stability, or competition issues. ICANN's determination is that the proposal did not raise such issues in .BIZ.
The proposal requires an amendment the .BIZ List of Reserved TLD Strings (Appendix 6) and a description of the phased allocation program is proposed to be inserted at the 7.2 of Appendix 7.
Comments on the proposed amendment submitted to biz-alloc-amendment at icann.org will be considered until March, 15, 2009. Comments may be viewed at http://forum.icann.org/lists/biz-alloc-amendment/.
