application period to reflect these new procedures,
if and when they become effective. We will keep you
updated as needed.</p>

mechanism for furthering ICANN's key objectives:</p>
<ul class="">
<li class="">Ensuring accountability, transparency
and the interests of global Internet users;</li>
<li class="">Preserving security, stability and
resiliency of the DNS;</li>
<li class="">Promoting competition, consumer trust
