personally not impressed by this charm offensive, nor with

proper investigation, should ALAC desire it, should consult
multiple parties and I'm sure that the registries Jeff

does ICANN do? It “pauses” its consideration

against my company thereby compounding the
original issue. In other words, we complained
ICANN was moving to slow in our request for
the assignment of a TLD Agreement - and that
was a violation of the Bylaws. ICANN has
responded by stating that it now needs to halt
all consideration of the assignment request
because we filed the Reconsideration Action in

Inaction cannot be challenged where the basis
for the “Inaction” is ICANN’s failure to pass
a Board Resolution. In other words, if you are
angry at the Board for not passing a
resolution, you cannot file an urgent
reconsideration request…..why…..because in
order to have an urgent Reconsideration
Request, there needs to be an actual Board
Resolution. Thus, if the board fails to pass a

resolution on which to basis the urgent
