[Gnso-newgtld-dg] Thomas Lowenhaupt: An Introduction

[Dietmar Lenden]

Hi all,

Below is my SOI:

https://community.icann.org/display/gnsosoi/Dietmar+Lenden+SOI

I have been in the domain name business for the last 12 years (in varying capacities) and I'm currently a project consultant assisting .BRAND owners through the new gTLD application phase. I'm looking forward to seeing how everyone experienced this round of the new gTLD process.

Hi there,

I'm jumping on the bandwagon: https://community.icann.org/display/gnsosoi/Tobias+Sattler+SOI

I'm the Chief Information Officer at united-domains AG, an ICANN accredited registrar. united-domains is part of the United Internet group that contains, among others, 1&1 Internet, Sedo and InterNetX.

As a registrar the current round is a pain, especially things like contract negotiations, onboarding, technical obligations, outreach etc. considering the mass of new gTLDs. Therefore I'm interested in capturing the lessons learned and to provide feedback from a registrar perspective to hopefully help to streamline things.

Best regards,
Tobias

The first, drawing on work I did with the UN Development Programme's effort to capture lessons learned, is to (in my head at least) organize lessons learned into a simple 2x2 matrix consisting of the degree of generalization of lessons (general, specific) and their context applicability (general, specific). That is useful when turning to the use of lessons learned in practice.

It is more productive to consider this as learning lessons for future use, and not, in the first instance, as an overall assessment of the first gTLD round. While the two activities are related, they are distinct with respect to intent.
