Congratulations .Com!

"Fortunately, GDD staff will not have the same opportunity in regard to .Com in this decade, as the recent ICANN Board approval of that RA’s extension through 2024 should assure that the RPM Review WG will be the body that decides whether and in what form the URS will come to .Com and other major legacy gTLDs."
