I made the comment before the existence of design teams were the twinkle in anyone's eye.</div><div><br></div><div>When reviewing an early draft of the principles and seeing this reservation for the ccTLDs, I thought there should be a similar principle for gTLDs: to limit unilaterally proposed changes.My recollection is that this principle comes from early days that IANA services could not be predicated on payment of fees, signing an ICANN contract, joining the ccNSO or other actions. My thinking in applying this to gTLDs is that IANA services can never be withheld due to contractual disputes or any other reason (except for the paramount SSR concerns). I think it can be stated as a principle based on the historical context and is a more powerful protection for registry operators when stated as a principle. </div><div><br></div><div>That was my thinking.</div><div><br></div><div>Kurt</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On Mar 6, 2015, at 3:03 AM, Martin Boyle <<a href="mailto:Martin.Boyle@nominet.org.uk">Martin.Boyle@nominet.org.uk</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div lang="EN-GB" link="blue" vlink="purple" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1; "><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); ">Hi Chuck,<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); "> </span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); ">Without wanting to pre-empt Kurt’s response, I have two general comments:<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); "> </span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt 36pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt; "><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); "><span>1.<span style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "> <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></span><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); ">A principle that depends on what solution you work up is not a principle.

I recognise the differences between ccTLDs and gTLDs – not least the existence of any contractual relationship between a TLD and ICANN that might change the risk of the IANA functions operator trying to impose additional conditions on the registry. However, I do not see this as an unreasonable principle. Wouldn’t gTLDs want to limit potential for the IANA functions operator to try to impose arbitrary decisions in the case of changing contractual relationships between the various actors?<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); "> </span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); ">Best<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); "> </span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); ">Martin<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); "> </span></div><div><div style="border-style: solid none none; border-top-width: 1pt; border-top-color: rgb(181, 196, 223); padding: 3pt 0cm 0cm; "><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; ">From:</span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; "><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Gomes, Chuck [mailto:cgomes@<a href="http://verisign.com">verisign.com</a>]<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br><b>Sent:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>06 March 2015 10:47<br><b>To:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Maarten Simon; Martin Boyle; <a href="mailto:cwg-stewardship@icann.org">cwg-stewardship@icann.org</a><br><b>Subject:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>RE: [CWG-Stewardship] Principles and Criteria that Should Underpin Decisions on the Transition of NTIA Stewardship: New Draft<o:p></o:p></span></div></div></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt 36pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><span lang="EN-US" style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); ">Kurt – Why did you suggest the following language in h.iii: “</span><span lang="EN-US">No additional requirements for prompt delivery of IANA services should be imposed unless they are directly and demonstrably linked to global security, stability and resilience of the DNS.<span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); ">” Shouldn’t that be considered by the applicable design team. For example, it might be helpful to consider an expedited procedure in certain cases where a TLD needs to be re-delegated to minimize the impact of downtime for registrants in the TLD. For this example, would that be a stability issue? If so, the language might be okay.
