This means that each of the many tick marks presents a significant barrier to: (1) getting through the policy discussion in a timely manner, and (2) a clean implementation. <o:p></o:p></div> </div> </div> <div> <div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"> <o:p></o:p></div> </div> </div> <div> <div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;">Categories of TLDs have always been problematic. <o:p></o:p></div> </div> </div> <div> <div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"> <o:p></o:p></div> </div> </div> <div> <div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;">The single most important lesson from the 2003-04 sponsored TLD round was to avoid a system where delegation of domain name registries was predicated upon satisfying criteria associated with categories. <o:p></o:p></div> </div> </div> <div> <div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"> <o:p></o:p></div> </div> </div> <div> <div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;">In the last round, the Guidebook provided for two category types: community and geographic. In my opinion, the implementation of both was problematic: look at the variances in CPE results and the difficulty with .AFRICA. This wasn’t just a process failure, the task itself was extremely difficult. Just how does an evaluation panel adjudge a government approval of a TLD application if one ministry says, ‘yes’ and the other ’no’? This sort of issue is simple compared to evaluating community applications. <o:p></o:p></div> </div> </div> <div> <div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"> <o:p></o:p></div> </div> </div> <div> <div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;">The introduction of a number of new gTLD categories with a number of different accommodations will lead to a complex and difficult application and evaluation process (and an expensive, complicated contractual compliance environment). It is inevitable that the future will include ongoing attempts to create policy for new categories as they are conceived.<br> <br> For those who want a smoothly running, fair, predictable gTLD program, the creation of categories should be avoided. <o:p></o:p></div> </div> </div> <div> <div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"> <o:p></o:p></div> </div> </div> <div> <div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;">Instead, the outcome of our policy discussion could be a process that remains flexible and can adapt to new business models as they are developed. An exemption process to certain contractual conditions can be created to encourage innovation while ensuring all policy goals embodied in the RA are met. Fair and flexible agreements can be written without the need, time and complexity of the creation of additional categories or separate agreements. <o:p></o:p></div> </div> </div> <div> <div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"> <o:p></o:p></div> </div> </div> <div> <div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;">While an exemption process sounds complex, it is not compared to the nightmare that the new gTLD process will become: never adequately administering to an ever-increasing number of categories.<o:p></o:p></div> </div> </div> <div> <div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"> <o:p></o:p></div> </div> </div> <div> <div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;">I wrote in more depth about this ~ 6 months ago - and would be happy to flesh out my thoughts on this again.<o:p></o:p></div> </div> </div> <div> <div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"> <o:p></o:p></div> </div> </div> <div> <div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;">Best regards,<o:p></o:p></div> </div> </div> <div> <div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"> <o:p></o:p></div> </div> </div> <div> <div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;">Kurt<o:p></o:p></div> </div> </div> <div> <div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"> <o:p></o:p></div> </div> </div> <div> <div> <div> <div> <div> <div> <div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">________________</span><o:p></o:p></div> </div> </div> <div> <div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">Kurt Pritz</span><o:p></o:p></div> </div> </div> <div> <div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif"><a target="_blank" href="mailto:kurt@kjpritz.com"><span style="color:purple">kurt@kjpritz.com</span></a></span><o:p></o:p></div> </div> </div> <div> <div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">+1.310.400.4184</span><o:p></o:p></div> </div> </div> <div> <div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">Skype: kjpritz</span><o:p></o:p></div> </div> </div> <div> <div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif"> </span><o:p></o:p></div> </div> </div> </div> <div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif"> </span><o:p></o:p></div> </div> </div> <div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif"> </span><o:p></o:p></div> </div> </div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;margin-bottom:12.0pt"> <o:p></o:p></div> </div> <div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"> <o:p></o:p></div> </div> <div> <blockquote style="margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt"> <div> <div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;">On May 15, 2017, at 3:43 AM, Steve Chan <<a target="_blank" href="mailto:steve.chan@icann.org"><span style="color:purple">steve.chan@icann.org</span></a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></div> </div> </div> <div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"> <o:p></o:p></div> </div> <div> <div> <div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Dear WG Members,</span><o:p></o:p></div> </div> </div> <div> <div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"> </span><o:p></o:p></div> </div> </div> <div> <div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Apologies for the late delivery.
