Hi Jorge and Alexander,

Thanks for your review of the report and your input.

The Co-Leaders with support from staff will collect all of the feedback that comes in and then work on making proposed edits and identifying which items need further discussion on the 16th.

Dear all

First of all thanks to co-leads and staff for assembling this report!

I would like to share some comments from my side:


  *   It would be useful if direct quotations from other documents (e.g. in pages 3 and 4 the rules being quoted from the 2012 AGB) were put in quotation marks.



  *   It would also help if the different versions of the draft report would include a version number and date of production/circulation


  *   On page 5 a para has sprung into my eye as differing from the very fact-based and well-documented rest of the report: the para beginning with “Most of these strings were not contained…” until “…no further information is publicly available on the details of such arrangements.” seems to me to be important in terms of knowing what happened with the non-AGB string applications from 2012 that were subject of controversy and or problems. In fact, the paragraph is at times a bit speculative or vague:
     *   For example: “in almost all cases”, “were permitted”, “only permitted” “not allowed” – it is unclear who decided or allowed/not allowed, according to what decisions and under what rules/criteria.
     *   I guess that reference is implicitly being made to ICANN Board or ICANN Org decisions (or IRP rulings) under their powers pursuant AGB 2012 and Bylaws. If that is the case this should be made explicit.
     *   There is also the final sentence “no further information is publicly available on the details of such arrangement”. I don’t recall that having been properly checked (e.g. whether applicable PICs shed light on that or whether the TLDs inform e.g. on eligibility conditions etc.).


Therefore, probably that somewhat vague paragraph on page 5 could be replaced by a factual description of the results of that 18 strings, e.g.

“XY [number] of those strings did not fall under AGB categories. XY [number] were deemed by GAC members to be geographical [quote sources]. XY [number] applications stated in the application that their purpose was brand or generic. XY [number] of applications moved forward. XY [number] were not allowed pursuant to decisions A, B, C from ICANN Board or Org. Regarding applications Y, Z, X specific arrangements were reached [quote sources] Today XY of said 18 have been delegated. ZX are still in proceedings. XZ have been retired. etc.”

Hope this helps and
Best regards

Jorge

Sent on behalf of the Work Track 5 Co-Leaders



Dear Work Track 5 members,

Please find attached a draft of the Work Track 5 report to the full Working Group for your review. As discussed on our last call, this report is much shorter than the Initial Report and focuses on Work Track 5’s recommendations to the full Working Group. Please note that this report only summarizes deliberations that have taken place since the publication of the Initial Report and does not repeat points, issues, and positions covered in the Initial Report.

If you have comments on this draft, please provide feedback to the Work Track 5 mailing list no later than Friday 11 October. Please focus your comments on anything that is incorrect, missing, or that you otherwise feel that you are completely unable to accept. Minor editorial suggestions, such as typo corrections, can be sent directly to staff.

A call will be scheduled on Wednesday 16 October to discuss any feedback the leadership team receives that cannot be easily resolved with proposed edits.

Please note that there a few non-substantive edits in part (D) that have been added since the last version of this section was circulated. The edits are intended to improve clarity of the text and are shared in redline, so that all members have a chance to review.

Kind regards,

WT5 Co-Leaders
Olga Cavalli, Annebeth Lange, Javier Rúa-Jovet, Martin Sutton
