The idea of limiting the number of TLDs in this next round has been raised repeatedly since 2007, and always rejected because there is no equitable way to determine who should go next. To try to determine such a way forward would take many months if not years of further community debate. Also, the root scaling studies have indicated there is no technical reason to limit the number of new TLDs. It is time to resolve the policy issues that have been discussed since 2007, rather than create huge new issues such as how to prioritize new gTLD applications.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Mike Rodenbaugh<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>RODENBAUGH LAW<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>tel/fax: +1 (415) 738-8087<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><a href="http://rodenbaugh.com/"><span style='color:blue'>http://rodenbaugh.com</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> owner-bc-gnso@icann.org [mailto:owner-bc-gnso@icann.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Mustala, Tero (NSN - FI/Espoo)<br><b>Sent:</b> Sunday, March 13, 2011 5:19 PM<br><b>To:</b> ext Jon Nevett; Phil Corwin<br><b>Cc:</b> randruff@rnapartners.com; marilynscade@hotmail.com; owner-bc-gnso@icann.org; bc-gnso@icann.org<br><b>Subject:</b> RE: [bc-gnso] urgent update to all BC members -- regarding BC statement regardingBoard-GAC Scorecard issues<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:blue'>I tend to agree with Jon.

It is clear that GAC members must take something home for their ministers, so we need to give some serious thought to what those things might be. Two ideas that come to mind are (1) recommend that all community based applications be allowed to apply simultaneously for their IDN equivalents or a small fee per string, which would lead to each nation being able to use non-English / non-ASCII scripts (and therein a "win"); and (2) suggest that a way to get past the impass of too many "2"s in the scorecard would be to go forward with a limited round to start so that we can all see if the current AGB (as suggested by the Board) is functional or needs the modifications currently revcommended by the GAC. In any case, according to PDT, we cannot leave SFO without resolution. IMHO, that must be the message we share with all we meet in the meeting rooms and halls....<span class=apple-converted-space> </span><br><br>Kind regards,<span class=apple-converted-space> </span><br><br>RA<span class=apple-converted-space> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>________________________________________<br>Ron Andruff<br>RNA Partners, Inc.<br><a href="mailto:randruff@rnapartners.com">randruff@rnapartners.com</a><br><a href="http://www.rnapartners.com">www.rnapartners.com</a><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'><hr size=2 width="100%" align=center></span></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:<span class=apple-converted-space> </span></span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>Marilyn Cade <<a href="mailto:marilynscade@hotmail.com">marilynscade@hotmail.com</a>><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>Sender:<span class=apple-converted-space> </span></span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'><a href="mailto:owner-bc-gnso@icann.org">owner-bc-gnso@icann.org</a><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>Date:<span class=apple-converted-space> </span></span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>Sun, 13 Mar 2011 16:22:51 -0400<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>To:<span class=apple-converted-space> </span></span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>bc - GNSO list<<a href="mailto:bc-gnso@icann.org">bc-gnso@icann.org</a>><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>Subject:<span class=apple-converted-space> </span></span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>[bc-gnso] urgent update to all BC members -- regarding BC statement regarding Board-GAC Scorecard issues<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>During a meeting with Kurt Pritz, V.President, ICANN with the GNSO and the GNSO Council, he announced that there is agreement to have short statements from the Chairs of the SOs/ACs and SGs at the beginning of the session on Monday that reviews the Board and GAC Scorecard Document [showing 1a, 1b, and 2]. <o:p></o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>I am going to convene a process to draft a statement from the BC [we don't have a CSG chair/and at this point, the position I have given to the chairs within the CSG is that we will each make a statement for our Constituency.
