==Reaction on Batching Process (Digital Archery)==
In June 2012, J. Beckwith Burr, Neustar's Deputy General Counsel & Chief Privacy Officer wrote to ICANN regarding the company's position on the implementation of the batching process (digital archery) for the initial evaluation of new gTLD applications. In his letter, Burr said that Neustar is supporting the position of other companies requesting for the brief delay of the batching process. Burr pointed out that implementing batching as scheduled prior to publication of the actual list of applications will only create losers and winners, it would complicate the situation that might prevent the development of a better resolution. He also emphasized that a brief delay will enable ICANN to review the facts and the suggested alternatives presented by the affected community. Burr said, ''"We believe that there is ample time between now and ICANN's meeting in Prague to analyze the facts and to determine a course of action based on informed community input. Accordingly, Neustar urges a brief pause to review the need for "batched" consideration of new gTLD applications and if such batching is indeed necessary, to fine-tune the program in light of actual applications."'' <ref>[http://www.circleid.com/posts/20120607_neustar_urges_caution_to_icann_before_batching/ Neustar Urges Caution to ICANN Before Batching]</ref>
