[NA-Discuss] Public Comment on the .NET auto-renew, proposed contract extension for multiple technical providers

[Avri Doria]

Hi,

For anyone interested i also submitted, at the very last minute, a comment as an individual. 

http://forum.icann.org/lists/net-agreement-renewal/msg00136.html

Covering 3 issues:

1. The pre-determination of permissible action if Verisign is found to be in 
breach of certain subsections of the contract.

2. The blanket permission for Verisign to use Traffic Data in any manner it 
desires without any discussion of impact analysis of the effect on privacy and 
other rights.

3. The presumption of renewal

a.
