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

Tue Jul 29 09:42:19 UTC 2014

Hello everyone,

joining the merry  band:

I am Volker Greimann, General Counsel and Policy Consultant at 
Key-Systems GmbH. As part of the KeyDrive group of companies, 
Key-Systems directly owns KSregistry, a registry backend service 
provider servicing multiple dotBrand registry operators as well as a 
number of non-dotBrand registries.

As a registrar, Key-Systems further has a keen interest in enabling 
smooth integration between registries and registrars and I will be happy 
to contribute to this group with regard to our experiences in the first 
round.

Best regards,

Volker Greimann

> clarity on whether they can or cannot operate the TLD as they wish
>
> - Whether exclusive use TLDs should have requirements such as 
> SRS/EPP/WHOIS/Escrow/EBERO instead of simple root delegation (although 
> I think diverse DNS should still be a requirement, but that's probably 
> part of the discussion)
>
> - String similarity criteria
>
> - String confusion standing to object that in the 2012 round was 
> limited to TLD operators and applicants, to possibly be granted to 
> other interested parties (like registrants of a TLD, ALAC etc.)

> - Change requests versus community evaluation and objection processing
