Summary (replace this text with the a one-sentence summary of the resolution)
Board authorizes amendments to .PRO registry agreement to implement second-level registration product offering.
Text
Whereas, RegistryPro, Inc. ("RegistryPro") is the registry operator for the .pro top-level domain;
...
Whereas, based on a review of the proposal, the Board has determined it is unlikely the legitimate interests of others could be harmed by the implementation of the proposal by RegistryPro to offer the second level registration product;
Whereas, ICANN's Registry Agreement with RegistryPro allows such agreement to be amended by the mutual consent of the two parties;
Resolved [03.161], that the ICANN President and General Counsel are authorized to negotiate and implement modifications to RegistryPro's Registry Agreement with ICANN for operation of the .pro top-level domain as deemed necessary to provide for the offering of such .pro second level registration product by RegistryPro, provided that the offering of such second level registration product by RegistryPro would be in accordance with and consistent with all other applicable contractual limitations in the Registry Agreement.
