Text
Whereas, NeuStar has submitted a request pursuant to ICANN's Registry Services Evaluation Policy to amend the .BIZ Registry Agreement to permit a phased allocation program for single and two-character domain names.
Whereas, the proposed release of single and two-character domain names in .BIZ would be consistent with the recommendations of the GNSO Reserved Names Working Group and other approvals to permit the release of single and two-character domain names.
