If we zoom up from the operational details and consider the overall policy that we are currently constructing, I think it is worthwhile for us to state that, as a policy, “the gTLD Program should be administered in a way that encourages innovation.” Or maybe “…in a way that encourages innovation, competition and choice.”</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Given that policy, then naturally ICANN would not charge additional fees, nor delay applications with innovative uses for the TLD. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Practically speaking (and to the extent we offer implementation advice), given that an RSEP is supposed to take 15 days and the (somewhat rare) technical review takes 45 days, I see no reason why those reviews cannot happen easily within the initial evaluation period. It may be slightly inefficient to conduct those RSEP reviews before the application passes the other substantive reviews but if it is our policy to encourage innovation, then that inefficiency is a small price to pay. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">While we have not seen great innovation to date, I don’t think that should change our thinking. I have worked with one TLD that does have some great (I think) ideas for alternative uses and I know there are some others. This should not dissuade us from our policies that we lay the most fertile ground for innovation that we can. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thanks & regards,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Kurt</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Sep 1, 2017, at 5:07 AM, Jeff Neuman <<a href="mailto:jeff.neuman@comlaude.com" class="">jeff.neuman@comlaude.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class=""><a name="_MailEndCompose" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">Anne,<o:p class=""></o:p></span></a></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class=""><span class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></span></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class=""><span class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">I would like to apologize if I have in any way created a hostile environment for anyone in any work track or in the Working Group.

On the one hand, as you state, it may be a disincentive to propose new innovative services. On the other hand, reviewing new services does come with a cost for evaluation. New services may require a different skill set of reviewers that reviewing the existing services. Reviewing new services may require a more thorough security analysis, competition analysis, etc. than existing services (which are already reviewed and proven). So not charging those applicants that propose new services for the evaluation of those new services results in those that do not propose new types of registry services subsidizing those that do. From a policy perspective, that may be ok, but it is a policy decision we should all make.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class=""><span class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></span></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class=""><span class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">FYI, the existing Registry Agreements do require registries to pay the costs of proposing new registry services if a Technical Panel has to be called in to review the new services.
