<p class="MsoNormal">Anyhow, I would like to express my strong disagreement with the recommendation to even mention GNSO PDP as a viable solution to move forward with these issues. In my view this can be solved only in the balanced cross community workgroup
with representatives from all the necessary groups (ccnso, gnso, gac etc). WIth that said I am very sad that this CWG was not able to achieve more. We are still talking about country names and codes here so for me it seems the worst idea possible to give the
power of decision over these strings to group with solely commercial goals in mind. Please do not do that!<o:p></o:p></p>

<p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">In light of the need for further work, the complexity of the issue at hand, the aforementioned inconsistencies between various ICANN policies, and the limited mandate
of the CWG on the use of Country and Territory Names as TLDs, the CWG recommends that:</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin-left:36.0pt;text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">1)</span><span style="font-size:7.0pt">
</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">The ICANN community consolidate all policy efforts relating to geographic names (as that term has traditionally very broadly been defined in the ICANN environment to this point) to enable
in-depth analyses and discussions on all aspects related to all geographic-related names at all levels of the DNS. This is the only way, in our view, to determine whether a harmonized framework is truly achievable.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin-left:36.0pt;text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">2)</span><span style="font-size:7.0pt">
</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Future work should take place with the authority of a policy development process under ICANN’s Bylaws, with a clearly drafted Charter or scope of works that sets out how conclusions and
recommendations will inform that policy development process. This addresses a key deficiency of this CWG, as it has not been made clear how the group’s work can or will be incorporated in policy-making pursuant to ICANN’s Bylaws. In this regard, we note that
the use of geographic names in future new gTLDs falls within the scope of issues to be addressed by the now-formed and operative GNSO PDP on Subsequent Procedures.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin-left:36.0pt;text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">3)</span><span style="font-size:7.0pt">
</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Future policy development work must facilitate all-inclusive dialogue to ensure that all members of the community have the opportunity to participate. Again, we believe that this is the
only way to determine whether a harmonized framework is truly achievable.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I am strongly in favour of including these recommendations. If we are to recommend that all policy work on geographic terms be consolidated to ensure
harmonisation (which I agree that it should) then I think we must also address the question of where that consolidation should happen and make our recommendation. The PDP has a formalised status under the ICANN Bylaws and a clear process. The treatment of
the outcomes of the PDP by the Board are also clearly set out, with a process of consultation to be followed where the
<span style="background:white">Board determines that the recommendations “are not in the best interests of the </span>ICANN<span style="background:white"> community or </span>ICANN”<span style="background:white">.
</span></span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D;background:white"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D;background:white">In addition, as Heather has pointed out, the issue of geo names in future “rounds” of New gTLDs also already within the Charter of
the Subsequent Procedures PDP which has a large number of participants (133) and is not limited to the GNSO but includes members of the ALAC, GAC and unaffiliated individuals. I believe members of the ccNSO also already participate (even if not identified
as such on the list of participants), since many ccTLD operators also have an interest in new gTLDs. The PDP work has been underway for some months considering overarching issues, and the working group is now breaking into work tracks to focus on specific
groupings of related issues. Country and territory names fall within the Legal/Regulatory work track and would sensibly be dealt with by that work track when it considers other, related, issues around the reservation of names, including
<u>other</u> geographic names which are not within the scope of this CWG, and names with other sensitivity (which are not geo names).

<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">In my view this paper is a good start, and there is a bit more we can do. It is important that we keep this document relatively short, clear and to the point - otherwise
we risk losing the community's attention. With this in mind, I propose that we add footnotes and names of earlier documents, groups, etc. to ensure the community has the complete picture of the work in this area (as indeed this is one of our key justifications
for terminating our efforts - the multiplicity of policy initiatives on geo names) while streamlining this progress report by pushing the reader to those other documents for more detail/substance.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">I also suggest that we amend references to ISO 3166 from "list" to "standard", as that is a lesson we've very helpfully learned from Jaap. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">Finally, I believe we should be more clear and direct on our recommendations at the end, as ultimately we're in the best position to advise as to what should happen next
and, crucially, what is needed for that to succeed (ie, we know best what our deficiencies were as a CWG, and have a view as to how to fix them).
