Letter from Shukhrat M. Akhundjanov to Stuart Lynn
19 November 2002

No. 36 on 19 November, 2002

Dear Mr. Lynn,

I am writing you concerning the requested of the redelegation of the .uz country code top level domain (ccTLD) from its current administrator EuroCom Equipment GmbH to Uzinfocom. As you are aware the Government of Uzbekistan recently endorsed Uzinfocom as the appropriate entity to administer the .uz ccTLD.

The Uzinfocom entered into the Agreement on management of "UZ" country code top level domain with Government of Uzbekistan, represented by its Communications and Information Agency of Uzbekistan.

By this letter Uzinfocom confirms again the following:

• Given that the Internet naming system is a public resource and the exercise of a top level domain (TLD) delegation must be in the public interest, Uzinfocom recognizes that the management and administration of the «UZ» ccTLD are subject to the ultimate authority of the Communications and Information Agency of Uzbekistan;
• Uzinfocom agrees to comply with ICANN developed policies, and to ensure payment of its contribution to ICANN's cost of operation.
• Should there be a redelegation of the «UZ» ccTLD, Uzinfocom agrees to cooperate and comply with the requirements of the Communications and Information Agency of Uzbekistan and/or ICANN in order to facilitate the transfer and redelegation of authority for the «UZ» ccTLD from Uzinfocom to another party.

It's my honor to inform you that Uzinfocom is ready to enter into a legally binding agreement with ICANN committing Uzinfocom to perform various obligations with respect to operation of the .uz ccTLD in the public interest.

If you have any questions, please contact either me or Mr. Gartvich Victor.
