<p class="MsoNormal">I would been keen to know how the board plan to ensure continuous improvement vis-a-vis the transparency of the decision emanating from the GIP framework reflect ICANN culture, and in what ways can the non commercial house be an instrument.
In addition, amidst the fast evolving regulatory landscape demanding privacy and accuracy, how can and do GIP framework be fundamental to preserving registrants privacy.<o:p></o:p></p>
