but it isn’t clear to me how the rounds are being structured to address
the recommendations made in the economic paper. I don’t have a
specific suggestion for implementation, but rather want to be sure that the
overall implementation plan addresses the issues that are identified in the
economic paper. This should include a roll-out process that allows ICANN to
learn from the initial round(s) and make adjustments as needed to address any
issues or concerns. I don’t see where that has been addressed
in the DAG4.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

discrete, limited rounds? Do you have an alternative proposal to what
currently is in the DAGv4, or are you comfortable with what is in the current

color:#1F497D'>Ron, you have captured the intent of my comment. The
economic framework paper is “new” information for the comment
proceeding and it provides some perspectives that are relevant to the issues
being discussed within the BC. The paper discusses the potential user benefits
of new gTLDs (e.g., innovative business models and IDNs), while also
acknowledging the potential costs and externalities. I read the two
conclusions in the paper as being related – ICANN should introduce new
gTLDs in discrete, limited rounds and adopt practices for gathering additional
information about the costs and benefits of new gTLDs. By implementing
both recommendations, ICANN can learn from experience and make informed
decisions. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

support the transfer option, as suspension versus transfer was one of the
major distinctions between URS and standard UDRP as originally
proposed by the IRT -- that is, URS was supposed to be for rapid,
lower cost blocking of a domain in slam dunk cases, with UDRP
reserved for less clear cut cases as well as instances where the
complainant wished to permanently acquire the domain. We think it's
important to preserve that distinction and that problems with the use

comprehensive UDRP reform.</span><o:p></o:p></li>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";

material fact in order to influence the outcome of a URS in its
favor it will suffer a penalty in order to protect the integrity of the
overall process. The penalty for one such deliberate lie is being suspended
from using the URS for one year; the penalty for two such lies is permanently
barring it from use of the process. Now, as a practical matter,
it will be the rare case where the examiner is able to conclude that the
complainant deliberately misrepresented material facts, so this isn't
going to happen very often, plus there are no monetary sanctions
- including fines or a requirement that the complainant pay the
registrant's costs of defending the domain - so it isn't as severe a pernalty as
some called for it to be. If the BC is going to say that the impact test
is too low (with which we don't agree) then I think it has some responsibility
to propose an alternate tests that protects the integrity of the URS against the
(hopefully rare) complainant who deliberately seeks to abuse it.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

I can say that it clearly was our intent for the URS to have a higher burden of
proof than the UDRP -- the legal standard is exactly the same. We
wanted the URS to be for "slam dunk" cases. The URS was to be a
less expensive alternative to the UDRP cognizant of the fact that 70% of UDRPs
go unanswered. Has this issue even been raised before by the BC?</span><o:p></o:p></p>

left the PDDRP section pretty much alone except for an argument about registries
warehousing names, but not using them, as that argument didn't make much sense
to me. That's exactly the function of a registry to warehouse names until
they are sold by registrars. If a registry "reserves" a name
and it is not in use at all, the mark holder should be thrilled that it can't
be registered by a squatter.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
