<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Dear Liz,<br>
<br>
good observation. The obvious problem here is:<br>
<br>
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">A good portion of participants in the WT5 have participated in PDP processes since ages; e.g. since 2006 for the first AG! Others however have never participated in any PDP
– not even fully read the 2012 AG. For these participants there is a VERY steep “learning curve” – and they tend to reinvent the wheel all over.<br>
<br>
Having this inhomogeneity of previous knowledge and experience in mind I think it is fair to assume that the 2012 AG is our “basis”. The very reason we conduct a new PDP is that we are in acknowledgement that it deserves “change”. And for exactly the reasons
that you have listed. BUT: Some here might think we are starting “from scratch”. And so far seemingly in the other work tracks that is not what we have done.<br>
<br>
So we might take your input in clarifying this important question:<br>
Do we start “from scratch” in the WT5 – or do we take the 2012 AG as a “basis” – knowing that it was implemented in an imperfect way and doesn’t necessarily fully reflect the 2007 PDP recommendations of the GNSO?<br>
<br>
I would find it cumbersome if the GNSO would come up with “new” PDP recommendations – and then ICANN staff would (like last time) create their own interpretation via implementation. It would be my wish (and I think I heard this notion before) that THIS time
around GNSO and ICANN staff work much closer together. What we do in the work tracks is not anymore creating a constitution – upon then law will be created. The “law” is existing – we are overhauling it. So THIS time there shouldn’t be funny surprises at the
end of the final new AG. We seem not to just create new recommendations – but already the new final AG version!
<br>
<br>
But this is likely a question that has to be clarified on GNSO level – not on work track level.<br>
<br>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">You have raised some interesting points. One I would like to explore more is your assumption “that 2012 AG will likely remain mostly…unchanged”. I think that is a dangerous assumption because, if were actually the case, it would perpetuate
many of the faults and flaws of that process. And there were many if only evidenced by the facts that there are still, six years on, some applications that have not been finally evaluated and either killed off or put into operational mode.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">We all know that the policy development process ended in 2010 and it took many more months to release the AGB. That was only the first step in a long haul of re-interpretations of the policy into operational, evaluation and implementation
changes. Those changes/modifications/interferences were made for many different reasons and it is those elements that we must capture as we seek to radically improve the approach to any new round. It is insufficient to accept the 2012 AGB at face value for
a default policy position. This is particularly the case when we should be making strenuous efforts to be inclusive, engaging and innovative so we have system which is an incentive for new ideas to come forward. <o:p></o:p></p>

will have a very detailed agreement with the gTLD operator – and the weak part here is the REGISTRY – not the city!<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
<br>
Having said this: NO, the letter of non-objection is by no means a “one time sign-off”. It never was. It should never be. Thanks that you brought it up – because like you there might be many who assume it was! Once we work through the WT5-relevant existing
2012 AG provisions this will become much clearer. In respect to country names potentially being operated as gTLDs: obviously the same would apply! A consent (“letter of non-objection”) has to be provided by the RELEVANT Government authority (NOT by the “Ministry
for Fishing & Farming”). That consent is revocable. The Government will be in control at all times. Some Governments will decide to run “their” country name themselves (I can imagine Turkey or Belarus wanting to assert FULL control). Others will want to be
“out of the loop” as much as possible, like the United States of America: simply because that’s their general attitude; the federal Government has simply no say in such matters – and frankly doesn’t WANT to have one. The less leverage you have – the less you
are responsible! Some want “full control”, others want the Government to stay out of as much as possible. Up to the relevant Government.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">If we speak only and strictly about business models in the sense how to market and how to monetize the transactions then yes this part is not restricted nor specified by ICANN nor any of the sub organisations. But leaving that aside ICANN
dictates great deal on how one can and must run a *gTLD (what data to collect how to verify the data and contacts, where and how to store the data etc) furthermore the city government has almost no control over how the city geo gTLD is run, marketed or used
unless it operates the TLD it self. The letter of non-objection works as one time sign-off. If the winner of the "beauty contest" decides not to act according to their initial sales pitch - i do not see on what grounds could the city government request ICANN
to stop the delegation or re-delegate it to another entity. Someone please correct me if I am wrong here by pointing me to correct regulation.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Per request of Jeff I am sending this answer to the WT5 email address!<br>
<br>
I think we are mixing up stuff here. Nobody (especially not the gNSO or ICANN) wants or can “dictate” anybody how to operate a city gTLD applicant/registry – with the (implied) sole exception of the city government that has to grant the letter of non-objection.<br>
<br>
And that is the beauty of the chosen approval model: not ICANN decides who shall operate a city-gTLD but the representatives of the city; on the basis of the operation model brought forward by the applicant. In fact this is the old fashioned “beauty contest”
– but outsourced to the city government! And that makes sense: you want that the city is evaluating the model and choses the one that is in the best interest of the CITY – not that some backroom auction winner takes over the city’s online identity.<o:p></o:p></p>
