<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=546232514-08122008>Some recent activity
with new organisations seeking involvement inside the GNSO has opened up the
thought that maybe the delineation of the two house we have currently proposed
is too narrow. It was based on old thinking.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=546232514-08122008>The two houses
are:</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=546232514-08122008>a) users

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=546232514-08122008>On reflection this
division into two does NOT reflect the totality of potential
stakeholders.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=546232514-08122008>A division
between:</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

users</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=546232514-08122008>b) domain name

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=546232514-08122008>The parties with no
home in the proposed structure are:</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=546232514-08122008>a) applicant
registries in the new TLD process (not yet a contract with
ICANN)</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=546232514-08122008>b) resellers of
domain names (with no contract with ICANN)</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=546232514-08122008>c) sellers of
registry services based on sub-domains (with no contract with
ICANN)</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=546232514-08122008>These three
categories have little communality with true user interests (a safe place
to communicate or do business)</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=546232514-08122008>and much more with
the contracted parties ( eg want to be a registry / shared customer
base / focus on registry pricing).</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=546232514-08122008>Should we not extend
the scope of the contracted parties house to fit these sort of organisations
inside if the desire is there ?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
