force every new gTLD applicant to be bound by every country’s national/local laws, irrespective of where they are based or whether those laws, in fact, do apply to them. In your scenario, the proposed operator of the city TLD in question, based in a particular
locality, has to comply with the local laws that apply to it and, as Heather has pointed out, ICANN should not adopt a policy which would force that operator to be in breach of national law without providing a process for disapplying the policy. But this does
not mean that an applicant who is not based in that country is bound by those same laws, that ICANN should somehow apply those national laws to it, nor does it provide any justification for giving priority of the first applicant over the second.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE" style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE" style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">thank you for your comment.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE" style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Let me explain the rationale behind the proposal:
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE" style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE" style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">The ICANN bylaws reference that ICANN has the mission to conform its activities based on „…. applicable local law“. So it seems like ICANN is not only bound to International, but also National/Local
Law, less in enforcing it but basing its decisions on this framework. If we have not incorporated it in the GNSO principles at earlier times, it’s probably due time to reconsider.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE" style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE" style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Put aside, that our proposal is less about suggesting a prioritization, but rather respecting national law: We’ve already agreed in the past on three prioritization buckets in the past
– communities, capital cities and applicants with need of support. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE" style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE" style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Why whould we reconsider now? To provide applicants with more predictability.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE" style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE" style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Let me explain this with an example:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE" style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">If two applicants would be forced to go to court over a TLD application in a country where one has more rights based on national law and the other not, would it not be fairer to tell the
applicant right away that the other applicant has better rights?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE" style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE" style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Best regards<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE" style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">PS My take on the Geo Names Panel is, that their role has been purely to determine whether a string falls into the Geo category. I cannot remember proposals to change this fundamentally,

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE">Dear Katrin, all,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE">I do not support the changes to the AGB that are proposed here, because I do not believe that there is a sufficient rationale for making these changes. Among the many things about which we disagree in WT5, I hold onto our
shared understanding that the GNSO Council, the ICANN Board, and the broader community will demand that we provide a clearly articulated, reasonable rationale for any changes to the AGB. There isn't a clear rationale here for eliminating an independent Geographic
Names Panel that makes arms length, neutral evaluations of applications. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE">The proposed change A to Module 4 imposes on all applicants a requirement of certain countries' domestic law that has no equivalent in international law. I'm not at all arguing against prioritisation requirements in the
domestic law of any country, and no ICANN policy can take away those rights created under a country's domestic law. Those rights will always be recognised in national courts, and enforceable against (and only against) those subject to the law of that jurisdiction.
ICANN is not an appropriate body to enforce domestic law or even, taking a step back, to determine against whom domestic law should/should not be enforced (we can imagine disputes here in interpretation of, for example, "if the applicant for the geoTLD is
based in a country where national law gives precedent to city and/or regional names"). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE">The proposed change B to Module 4 likewise gets ICANN into the business of deeming one party (larger population) as having more right than another party (smaller population). Again, problems of interpretation are inevitable
(ie, where are the boundaries when counting population, etc), and more importantly, this imposes a prioritisation that is mandated in only some domestic laws on all applicants, including those who are not otherwise subject to those laws. ICANN policy should,
of course, not impede the enforceability of domestic law, but it is not ICANN's job to be the enforcer. We can analogise here, love it or not, to the EPDP - the pre-GDPR WHOIS protocol embedded in the RAA and RRA made it impossible for contracted parties subject
to the GDPR to comply with that law. The EPDP's job is not to develop a policy that enforces GDPR, but rather to develop a policy under which it is possible for those parties subject to that law to comply with both ICANN contractual requirements and that law
- it isn't ICANN's role to determine who is subject to the GDPR, but simply to make that compliance possible under the ICANN contractual framework.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE">I am concerned that we have now moved so far away in WT5 from the original 2007-2008 principles of the GNSO, which upheld what was even then a longstanding tradition in ICANN policy of not putting ICANN in the position of
having to make prioritsation decisions, ie, not determining one party as being more worthy than another. We struggled with concepts like auctions and so forth in 2007-2008 and in the years since to resolve conflicts, but the driving force behind those ideas
was always to provide an equal and fair opportunity unless international legal principles said otherwise. The specific body of international law on geographic names has not changed since then, so I do not feel that we are in a position to deviate from those
now, as regards this proposal or indeed any of our recommendations in WT5.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span lang="DE">A// In case there is contention for a string where one application intends to use the string as a non-capital city name or designated the TLD to targeting it to
a geographic meaning, preference should be given to the applicant who will use the TLD for geographic purposes if the applicant for the geoTLD is based in a country where national law gives precedent to city and/or regional names.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><i><span lang="DE">RATIONALE: This would reflect national law e.g. in countries like Switzerland and Germany, where e.g. city names have more rights that holders of the same name.</span></i><span lang="DE"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

with the larger no of inhabitants will prevail over the smaller one. As the criteria „size“ has been used in the CPE criteria, it is apparently a well-accepted criteria.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
