AW: [bc-gnso] Propose that the BC support GAC process comments on EOI

Wed Jan 27 12:27:42 UTC 2010

Dear BC-Members,

the .berliners are fine with the posted comments, but I think as most BC
members are inline with the AIM position the BC should oppose the mandatory
pre-registration which will definitely open the floodgate to TLD tasting,
gaming in selling of .brand EOI slots.

Best regards,

Dirk Krischenowski

EOI

Comments are due today.  We don't have time for a formal vote on a BC
position on the EOI, so ours would have to be a consensus comment.

Would everyone support a simple statement along these lines?

Before the Board votes on whether to proceed with the EOI, it should first
resolve the ambiguity about what the EOI is designed to accomplish.  Is the
EOI just a data gathering exercise, or is it a mandatory pre-registration?

Once we understand that threshold question, the community can address the
details of the EOI plan, in a brief public comment period followed by public
discussions in Nairobi.
