fine --and I respectfully disagree. I think the considerations of commercial
enterprises and non-commercial organizations should be equally considered and I
believe that conversation is important or urgent. While some may think that not
for profit does not equal “need,” I hope others will agree not for
profit equals “important enough not be dismissed.” <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

American Red Cross, it is disappointing for you to assume that the position I
am advocating is simply to benefit my own organization. When I applied to
volunteer as a GNSO Councilor, it was to share the perspective of not for
profit organizations (many of whom I collaborate with – large and small),
not only the perspective of Red Cross. Perhaps my perspective of my volunteer
role is very different than others on the Council and that’s okay. For
me, to advocate simply for the benefit of Red Cross is short sighted and contrary
to the best interests of policy development. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

discussion of a processes related to non-profit gTLDs is not
“urgent.” I certainly understand the concern shared by many
related to ICANN staff and Councilors limited resources and timing;
however, I think we do ICANN a disservice by discrediting the importance
non-commercial use new gTLDs and minimizing the voice of certain stakeholders
based on the lack of commercialization of new gTLDs. I would hope many
may come to understand that there are “urgent” and important
non-commercial uses for new gTLDs. For example, humanitarian, educational and
philanthropic activity is very meaningful to communities worldwide. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

I am concerned that the only explanation that we can hear is "staff
said" or "staff stated" or "staff explained" or
"staff decided". I understand for the need for support form the staff
but for GNSO council, there are still rooms to have its own vision and making
decision independently from staff reports? <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

developing countries and get more worse when ICANN "would like" ccTLD
from African region to participate with 3% (Idea suggested by Rod) or also to
hear the "technical support" which will be provided by the proposed
DNS-CERT (it is really offending and just overlapping with tasks done by
regional organizations)<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>I don't think anyone believes that the costs to run every registry is
the same. Some have higher security needs than others. Some need a
more global infrastructure than others. Some have lower costs in their
region and in other places in the world. All have different business
plans.<br>
<br>
But the basic cost of evaluating an application, excluding any dispute
processes that may ensue, are essentially the same for all applicants except in
cases where the same applicant applies for multiple TLDs. The way Staff
has decided to impose application fees as of now, they have already built in
subsidization of fees for single TLD applicants by those applying for multiple
TLDs.<br>
