[Gnso-newgtld-dg] - Issues / Recommendations Matrix and Executive Summary

Wed Mar 18 17:17:01 UTC 2015

Avri, 
I’m not sure I understand this completely, so I am hoping you can provide more details. My first reaction is that the global public interest was served by expanding the choices available when registering a domain name, bringing competition to the registry services space, and allowing people and companies to name themselves online with a label that provides greater semantic meaning. I also have statistics that show me that a meaningful number of registrations in Uniregistry TLDs come from countries identified as “developing countries” under either the UN or IMF definitions. To me, that’s a global public interest that was served.

Now, I don’t propose to have that debate here, but is what I wrote above addressed to your issue, or were you raising something else? I think we already have identified issues around making sure that future registries come from developing economies.

In terms of the future how do we design the policy to make sure that the global public interests, such as inclusion of developing economies and poor communities is supported?  This is one area where many consider the gTLD to have bee na complete failure and to not have that represented as a section of our work seems a deficit.
