Subject: [Gnso-newgtld-wg-wt5] Comment on Paragraph 1 of the Scope of Terms
of Reference

 

 

With respect to the Scope of the Terms of Reference, please keep in mind
that this section refers only to what will be discussed.  It is intended to
make sure the right questions are being asked and the right topics are being
covered.  It should also be neutral in nature to allow all sides of an issue
to be discussed.  

 

Therefore, may I suggest a slight rewording of that first paragraph to the
following:

 

Work Track 5 will focus on developing proposed recommendations regarding the
treatment of geographic names at the top level (both in ASCII and IDN form),
including whether such names require consent or non-objection from
applicable governmental authorities, evaluation criteria and potential
grounds for objection.

 

This shorter rewording moves the consent or non-objection part up in the
paragraph from where it is now.  The new wording does not preclude any
discussions on "approvals" nor does it implicitly endorse an approval-based
model.  It (hopefully) is neutral and by virtue of having the word "consent"
in the paragraph will naturally lead to discussions on how one obtains
consent or non-objection if required.     

 

In addition, the term consent is already in the Applicant Guidebook, so it
is a term that we are all familiar with.  And finally, according to
http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/consent, the term "Consent" is synonymous
with, "approval, assent, authorization, permission, allowance,
acquiescence", etc.

 

This is being provided as a suggestion only to move forward the
conversation.  It is not being provided in any official capacity.
