Whereas, on 19 December 2008, ICANN announced that negotiations with SITA NV had been completed and posted the proposed .AERO sponsorship agreement and appendices for public comment (see, http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-2-19dec08-en.htm).
Whereas, the proposed renewal agreement is consistent with the other proof-of-concept sTLD agreements (.COOP and .MUSEUM) and those approved in the 2003-04 sTLD round, and that approval of the proposed renewal agreement would be beneficial for the .AERO community, ICANN and the Internet community.
