Response to: expiration of TLD sponsorship agreements comment

Thank you for bringing it to the attention of ICANN staff
that extension
amendments for the .AERO, .COOP and .MUSEUM sTLD agreements
have not been
posted to the registry agreements page on the ICANN website
(see,
http://ica
nn.org/registries/agreements.htm). This information will
be
updated as quickly as possible to reflect that all three
sTLDs agreements
are current through extensions that have been granted to
afford time
necessary to conclude negotiations.    

Best,
Craig

I can find no publicly-disclosed record of any such
"grant".  In 
accordance with ICANN's transparency Bylaw, I request that
you tell us:

(1) The URL of the minutes and the reference number of the
resolution of 
the Board of Directors approving each of these purported
amendments.

(2) The URL at which each of these proposed amendments was
posted for 
public comment prior to the Board's consideration of each
proposal.

(3) The manner in which a public forum was prooved for
public comment on 
each of these proposed amendments.

(4) All records of ICANN's consideration of these
proposals.

Any action by ICANN to "grant" such amendments or
extensions was not 
decided in accrodance with ICANN's priocedural Bylaws,
particularly those 
providing for transparency as a necessary precondition for
public 
participation.  Any such purported action was null and void,
and should be 
reconsidered "de novo" through a properly
transparent and procedurally 
correct process, including due notice and opportunity for
public comment. 

I stand by my original comment that there is not any *valid*
current 
contractual agreement between ICANN and the former sponsor
of .AERO. 

Sincerely,

Edward Hasbrouck

Ed, Craig, and all,

  I second Ed's requests here and again concur with Ed's
correct
evaluation in respect to lack of transparency in this
matter, and
again yet another demonstration of how the ICANN Bod has
violated it's own By laws.

Craig and all,

  Nice canned "non answer" here Craig.  You would
have been
better off if you would have said:  I don't know but I will
find out
and be sure it gets updated properly on the ICANN web site
and posted to this list forum in the next few days.
