Summary

Board approved the renewal of the .AERO sponsorship agreement.

Text

Whereas, ICANN staff conducted good-faith negotiations with SITA NV, sponsor for the .AERO sponsored top-level domain, for the renewal of their sponsorship agreement.

Whereas, on 19 December 2008, ICANN announced that negotiations with SITA NV had been completed and posted the proposed .AERO sponsorship agreement and appendices for public comment (see, http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-2-19dec08-en.htm).

Whereas, the proposed renewal agreement is consistent with the other proof-of-concept sTLD agreements (.COOP and .MUSEUM) and those approved in the 2003-04 sTLD round, and that approval of the proposed renewal agreement would be beneficial for the .AERO community, ICANN and the Internet community.

It is hereby resolved (2009-02-03-13), renewal of the .AERO sponsorship agreement is approved, and the President and General Counsel are authorized to take such actions as appropriate to implement the agreement.
