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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

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 of the UDRP for default cases should be addressed by
comprehensive UDRP reform. </span><o:p></o:p></li>

this says is that if a complainant deliberately lied about a 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>

convincing evidence issue with regard to the URS. As a member of the IRT,
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>

I left alone the complaint about transferring names after a successful URS as
that has been an issue that Zahid, Mike and others in the BC have argued
consistently. I do note, however, that transfer was not in the IRT
recommendation and the STI agreed to add a year to the registration at the
request of the complainant as a compromise. </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>
