[registrars] ICANN Budget Approval
Registrars, We're going to be trying to contact each registrar individually, but this list is pretty effective for contacting most registrars. As you're aware, 2/3rds of the gTLD registrars (not the Registrars Constituency, but individual registrars representing two thirds of the gTLD's volume by domains registered) must approve the ICANN budget each year. In the past, only the Verisign Registrar (or the Verisign Registrar plus one other big registrar) was required for this. Now, market share in gTLD's is spread enough that no two or three registrars can approve the ICANN budget alone. I am enclosing a letter composed by ICANN which explains the process, and provides links to the final ICANN budget proposal. In addition, it includes a second page which must be signed by a representative of each registrar who approves the budget and sent to ICANN. We encourage you to do this immediately. This budget must be approved by the board in Bucharest. If you have any questions for us, please feel free to email us directly.
