<b>Subject: </b>Helping BC members understand changes in the "final" Applicant guidebook<br>
<br>
</span><font size="4"><span style="font-size:11pt">In our last BC meeting, you were among the members who volunteered to help us quickly digest significant changes in the so-called ‘final’ gTLD guidebook. <br>
<br>
ICANN will post the document on Tuesday 9-Nov. (it will be featured on home page, but also should be at <a href="http://icann.org/en/topics/new-gtlds/dag-en.htm">http://icann.org/en/topics/new-gtlds/dag-en.htm</a> )<br>
<br>
The BC is holding a member call on 11-Nov ( 10am eastern US time) to talk about policy topics we expect going into Cartagena. <br>
<br>
Best case, you guys join the 11-Nov call and offer your first-look analysis of how the new Guidebook changed vis-a-vis DAGv4. <br>
( ICANN usually posts redline comparison, though it may not be immediately available)<br>
<br>
Let’s use a divide-and-conquer approach, by delegating Modules among you. Please reply-all with change/confirm of these module assignments:<br>
<br>
</span></font></font><blockquote><font face="Optima, Times New Roman"><font size="4"><span style="font-size:11pt">Module 1: Introduction to New gTLD Application Process and Fees. <br>
Berry Cobb, Ron Andruff<br>
<br>
Module 2: Evaluation Procedures. <br>
Jon Nevett, Adam Palmer (security criteria for applicants) Zahid Jamil (rights protection mechanisms)<br>
<br>
Module 3: Dispute Resolution. John Berard, Ron Andruff<br>
<br>
Module 4: String Contention. Ron Andruff<br>
<br>
Module 5: Transition to Delegation. <br>
Greg Rattray, Fred Fellman ( flexibility for dot-brand TLDs, HSTLDs), <br>
Berry Cobb (mitigating malicious conduct), Jon Nevett (VI) <br>
<br>
</span></font></font></blockquote><font face="Optima, Times New Roman"><font size="4"><span style="font-size:11pt"><br>
If additional discussion of the Guidebook is needed, we can do a another call on 18-Nov to focus on Guidebook changes.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Steve<br>
