Hello everyone,<br>
<br>
joining the merry band: <br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>
Volker Greimann<br>

An Introduction</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Continuing the introduction thread, my SOI
at <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://community.icann.org/display/gnsosoi/Rubens+Kuhl+SOI">https://community.icann.org/display/gnsosoi/Rubens+Kuhl+SOI</a> seems
current, but in short I oversee new gTLD efforts of the .br
ccTLD registry that for the 2012 round was both an applicant
and a registry service provider for other applicants. </p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Some topics come to my mind for the next
round (or continuing process):</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">- Whether post-contracting requests like
exclusive use (Spec 9), brand TLD (Spec 13) or closed
generic request should be moved to application time, in
order to give both applicants and competitors for a string
clarity on whether they can or cannot operate the TLD as
they wish</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">- 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)</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">- String similarity criteria</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">- 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.) </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">- Change requests versus community
evaluation and objection processing</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">- Clear and defined clarification
questions process</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">- Clear and defined draw process
(possibly bundled with application process)</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">- Whether to introduce or not meaning
similarity criteria like singular/plural</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">- Whether to allow single-character IDN
TLDs (notably for scripts other than Latin and Cyrillic)</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">- Whether to allow variant TLDs (like
.saopaulo and .sãopaulo) with required (or not) bundling
rules, including variants of the at the time existing TLDs</p>
</div>
