[Gnso-newgtld-dg] Question relating to overall implications to program of considerable changes

[Rubens Kuhl]

Donna,

Actually, I see what has been asked from some registries in this round as blatantly excessive, like EPP and data escrow for exclusive-use registries. But I don't see that as more of a compliance challenge for ICANN than it's already... not counting legacy gTLDs, sponsored TLDs and 2001-round gTLDs, restricting to only what was used in the 2012 round there are a good number of variations:
- Some registries use host-objects and other use host-attributes 
- Some registries are exclusive-use, others are brands, others are community, others are generic; (Geos are either community or generic in this context)
- Some registries are based out of dedicated or virtualized registry systems, some are shared registry systems serving a number of TLDs
- Some registries are allowed to use 2-char domains and/or country names, with a list varying by TLD
- WHOIS output was not defined and have a multitude of formats
- Some registries allowed out-of-band communication of Sunrise SMDs, some didn't
- Some registries are 2nd-level, some are 3rd level
- Some don't support IDN, some support IDN but have no variants, some support IDN and have variants

Even if some changes are made to registry agreement, I don't see them adding a new order of magnitude to this complexity. It might grow up, but it will grow up anyways as differences from the 2012 bunch are realized and some new services are introduced thru RSEP into them. And if one of the goals is to add diversity, not forcing some specific "vanilla" models is essential.
