From: Alex Floum [afloum@hotmail.com] Sent: Monday, November 13, 2000 10:19 PM To: reconsider@icann.org Subject: Request for Reconsideration re IODESIGN Sir/Madam: I hereby request a reconsideration of ICANN's November 9, 2000, Report on New TLD Applications as concerns IODesign. My name is as follows: D. Alexander Floum 5867 Birch Court Oakland, CA 94618 afloum@hotmail.com The specific action of ICANN for which reconsideration is sought is ICANN's November 9, 2000 characterization of IODesign's application as poor from a technical and business standpoint. I am an attorney. My clients have registered domain names through IODesign. I have also registered a domain name, cases.web, and hope to start a legal internet site. If the mischaracterization of IODesign's application is not corrected, my clients and I will be harmed in our businesses. A temporary stay of the action is requested. Specifically, ICANN's characterization of IODesign should be removed from the website until a new analaysis incorporating IODesign's responses to the characterization are considered and digested. The characterization ignores several important facts, which are raised in IODesign's responses and postings on the public comment board. Moreover, any doubts may be addressed by ICANN granting IODesign a test period to see if its website can operate properly. Thank you for your attention to this important and public matter. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
