GAPING HOLE IS THE ROOT ZONE MAINTAINER AGREEMENT. AND WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT THAT IS BEFORE WE CAN RENDER AN OPINION. CAN YOU TELL US WHEN YOU'RE GOING TO PUBLISH SOMETHING ON THAT AGREEMENT<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">AKRAM ATALLAH: THANK YOU FOR YOUR QUESTION. SO WE ARE WORKING VERY HARD TO FINALIZE A FEW REMAINING ISSUES ON THE AGREEMENT. WE PLAN TO PUBLISH AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
WE WORK WITH VERISIGN, OUR PARTNER IN THIS, AND NTIA TO PUT TOGETHER SOMETHING THAT WE CAN PUBLISH HOPEFULLY BEFORE THE END OF THE MONTH, IF NOT THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT, MAYBE THE HEAD OF TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT OR SOMETHING, AS MUCH AS WE CAN THAT IS FINALIZED.BUT
THE AGREEMENT IS ACTUALLY PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD. IT'S AN AGREEMENT TO PROVIDE SERVICES, THE MAINTAINER SERVICES FOR A PERIOD OF TIME, AND IT WILL ACTUALLY HAVE HAVE A GRACE FROM BOTH PARTIES TO TERMINATE THE AGREEMENT AND ESPECIALLY IF THE COMMUNITY THROUGH
THE CSC OR RZERC ASKS US TO DO CERTAIN THINGS OR OPEN UP FOR ALL OF THESE THINGS, ALL THE RIGHTS WILL BE HERE FOR THE AGREEMENT.WE'VE AGREED ON MOST OF THESE -- THE TERMS THAT THE COMMUNITY WANTS IN THE AGREEMENT. THE REMAINING ISSUES ARE MORE REGULAR TERMS
THAT WE'RE DISCUSSING SO I DON'T FORESEE ANY MAJOR ISSUES. WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO POST SOMETHING BEFORE THE END OF THE MONTH.
