[Gnso-newgtld-wg-wt2] Agenda for WT2 Meeting 13 April 2017 at 21:00 UTC

[Kathy Kleiman]

Hi All,

I'm a new member to this list, but there is a lot of material about the 
harms and concerns behind Closed Generics.  In preparation for the 
meeting later today, I'll post some of it. I'm copying Michele Neylon, 
who was a leader in sharing concerns about Closed Generics with the 
ICANN Community in 2013.

I don't think there is the time to prepare a robust debate for today, 
but hopefully at your next meeting, you might invite some of the names 
(people & their organizations) that you see in these materials into the 
discussion. There are also Community Objections on this issue that you 
might want to evaluate.

Best regards, Kathy (Kleiman)

Dear Sir / Madam

I am submitting these comments on behalf of Blacknight, Ireland's only ICANN
accredited registrar.

They do not reflect the formal views of any stakeholder group, but those of our
company.

We are on the record with respect to our views on this issue, having spoken
during the public forum at ICANN Toronto
(http://toronto45.icann.org/node/34215) and having sent several letters to
ICANN's board, which were co-signed by a broad cross-section of the ICANN
Community:

Rather than rehash our previous arguments I would prefer to simply state that
they are unchanged.

I've summarised some of the issues we see with them here:

It is also worth noting that our views are shared by some very large brands who
have taken the time to submit very rational comments on this topic.

But more importantly both consumer and trade organisations representing large
numbers of internet users and businesses have too.

Regards

Michele
