          TLDs should not be sold on a true FCFS basis -- TLDs are
          simply too valuable and unique.  We don't need to have
          "rounds" in order to have all of the various protections
          (RPMs, Objections, GAC advice, etc.) remain -- we simply need
          to hold each application for evaluation and for the creation
          of contention sets if others want to join in and apply for the
          string.  In essence, each string becomes a "round" --
          disaggregated from every other application but going through
          the same process as applications currently do.  This
          eliminates the pent up demand problem, without succumbing to a

                    To be clear, no one is advocating FCFS to start
                    off.   It is only being suggested AFTER the next
                    round ends.  So that after we have dealt any pent up

                     <br>
                    I think the objection I hear most is how can it be
                    monitored.   The reality is that it takes so many
                    months for ICANN to move through the process that I
                    don’t believe it will really be an issue.<br>
                     <br>
                    However, we could just have ICANN issue the list of
                    applications once a month, or once a quarter even,
                    to make it easier to track.

                    When they announce is not related to when the
                    application is received and the priority it gets in

                    Group, 15 May 2017 at 15:00 UTC<br>
                     <br>
                    What about a hybrid approach?  FCFS is a terrible
                    idea when no application has been permitted for over
                    5 years.  There is â€œpent-up†demand.   It is also
                    a terrible idea in terms of ICANN staff resources.  
                    Personally (and obviously not a view of the IPC), I
                    would see it this way:<br>
                     <br>
                    1.       We know GAC will advise Community Priority
                    Round based on EC Report and Copenhagen Communique. 
                    It would take 60% of the Board to reject that public
                    policy advice and 2/3 of the Board to reject GNSO
                    Council Advice to the contrary.  Will the Board act
                    in this situation or just tell GAC and GNSO to
                    â€œwork it out†?  Why not â€œcut to the chaseâ€
                    and work it out with the GAC now ?   All Objection
                    processes should apply.  PICs have to be made in
                    connection with Community applications and they
                    can’t be revoked or it voids the registry
                    agreement.    It’s up to Track 3 to develop more
                    policy on Community applications but watch out that
                    we don’t trample on certain rights by stating that
                    a Community application has to meet a â€œsocial
                    good†requirement.  â€œCommunity†is also about
                    freedom of association, or in this case, freedom of
                    â€œvirtual association†.<br>
                     <br>
                    (Please note GAC may even include IGOs and
                    Governmental Organization applications in its public
                    policy Advice for priority rounds.   No idea what
                    applies as to IGOs and GOs in terms of definition
                    and PICs.   Could an LRO be successful against a
                    Governmental Organization application for  a geo
                    name?  Is there any way to work this out now?  ICANN
                    has got to get way more efficient in resolving
                    policy differences before they get to the Board.  
                    And would this free up the process for geo name
                    applications if no application is made by a
                    Governmental Organization during this window?  
                    Could there be an â€œestoppel†factor if geo name
                    not covered by old version of AGB?)<br>
                     <br>
                    2.      Applications from Brands – Yes, I favor a
                    windoow for brands.  Why?  Because it’s all easier
                    under Spec 13 and I want the investment that brands
                    have made in the marketing of brand names that
                    correspond with potential TLD strings to pay off. 
                    (Yes, I am a trademark lawyer.)  Objection
                    procedures still apply – e.g. string confusion,
                    community objection, legal rigghts, limited public
                    interest, etc.    Applications for same brand
                    passing initial evaluation process would go into
                    string contention.  After the contract award, a
                    brand may only transfer to a third party acquiring
                    all or substantially all its stock or assets, the
                    trademark, and the good will associated with the
                    brand, and assuming all obligations of the registry,
                    including PICs if any.<br>
                     <br>
                    3.      Open Window of Six Months – ICANN takes all
                    ccomers and applications compete.  String contention
                    and all objection procedures apply.<br>
                     <br>
                    4.      Six months after # 3 – FFCFS - No window –
                    all types of applications welcome - FFirst Come,
                    First Served, (no window but we need a public notice
                    process as to strings applied for to trigger notice
                    for objections).

                    Lots of different perspectives so thought I’d add
                    another.<br>
                     <br>
                    Appears as though categories, priorities, etc.
                    creates concerns around gaming the system.   Perhaps
                    trying to deal with the elephant in the room would
                    be the more direct approach.  How do we prevent
                    gaming?  For instance, what if there was no private
                    auction process or if the registry could potentially
                    lose ownership of the TLD if it changed its
                    operations to a different purpose than applied for
                    or the TLD was sold within a short period of time

                    If conditions remain the same, then yes, you would
                    probably experience the rush in the round part, not
                    in the FCFS part down the road. But this does not
                    resolve the issue of various parties having to
                    continue to watch over the applications that come in
                    over time. Instead of claims notices you'd have to
                    have "application notice services" to protect
                    affected parties from applications that affect them
                    directly from slipping through unnoticed. And even
                    then the risk of missing an application someone
                    might have a legitimate objection too is very high.<br>
                    <br>
                    It also rewards the fast over the thorough. Say two
                    potential applicants have the same idea for a string
                    at the same time. One writes up a quick application
                    and fires it off while the other takes care that the
                    application fits the community it is designed to
                    serve, but alas as that takes a day longer, that
                    applicant misses out as the other "came first".
                    <br>
                    <br>
                    OTOH, I am not a big fan of rounds either. Keeping
                    it simple has its benefits.<br>
                    <br>
                    Maybe FCFS is the best of all worlds after all, but
                    we at least should consider the risks and dangers
                    and ensure that whatever we end up with cannot be
                    gamed for public harm.<br>

                    when you look at the curves for most existing new

                    I agree to a degree. But what with â€œfree market
                    access†and â€œcompetition†? I assume we face
                    about 10,000 applications within 3 month after we
                    open the floodgates.  Doesn’t matter whether it is
                    a â€œround†or an â€œongoing process†– thhe
                    number of applications won’t change.</p>
                  <p class="MsoNormal"
                    style="margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:12.0pt;margin-left:.5in">
                    If you have no â€œround†– what is it then? The
                    only othher thing than a â€œround†is â€œFirst
                    Comes First Served†. That’s a competition
                    KILLER. The ones will win who have the best â€œgTLD

                    competition?</p>
                  <p class="MsoNormal"
                    style="margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:12.0pt;margin-left:.5in">
                    There is no way around having a â€œround†once we
                    are ready to accept applications. Plus there needs
                    to be AMPLE time (at least 6 month) after the final
                    Applicant Guidebook is published for applicants to
                    make themselves familiar with the AGB and form their
                    application: This time it won’t be only ICANN
                    insiders who apply – but also many outsiders. The
                    application window itself could then be rather short
                    (1 week should be enough).</p>
                  <p class="MsoNormal"
                    style="margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:12.0pt;margin-left:.5in">
                    But I agree with you: Instead of a vague
                    â€œpromise†of a next round in â€œabout a year†–
                    we should ALREADY set the date for the nnext
                    application window  6 to 12 month later. A fixed
                    date! It wouldn’t make much sense to have the next
                    window right 3 month later – ICANN’s capacities
                    will nnot allow for it. Also the next window dates
                    should be FIXED.
                  </p>
                  <p class="MsoNormal"
                    style="margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:12.0pt;margin-left:.5in">
                    So it’s almost like your â€œcontinuous application
                    mechanism†with one â€œlaunch date†– just that
                    there are various windows with fixed dates. To allow
                    for competition to happen.

                    Especially as we would have to make sure that no
                    â€œgeneric keyword based†term would be applied for
                    (and fast-tracked) as either GEO or BRAND. Sneaky
                    elements will find a small geo-region identical to a
                    generic string  (think â€œ.bar†) – obtainn the

                    then do NOT set up locality requirements and …… €¦

                    Brands: there is no definition of a â€œbrand†in
                    regard to the DNS. At minimum the â€œbrand†had to
                    have a TM in say 25 to 50  (arbitrary number)
                    countries since at least 20XX (ideally before 2012)
                    – AND should NOT be â€œgeneric†. If you arre
                    basing your brand on a generic term: Fine. Great.
                    Your own choice. But please do not expect that you
                    have a right on the entire generic keyword space on
                    top level in the DNS. Apply with everybody else –
                    and see whether theere is contention. In the real
                    life â€œgeneric term based Brand protection†works
                    because you can exempt the term’s natural meaning
                    from being protected – in the DNNS there are no
                    â€œTrademark Goods and Services Classes†:
                    unwittingly the generic term meaning would be
                    targeted, too! If you have a brand â€œsun†: GREAT!
                    Just do not tell us no one else has a right to apply
                    for a gTLD â€œ.sun†– but you. You haven’t
                    protected â€œSUN†froom being used – just for
                    computers, or newspapers. Who kknows: Maybe there
                    are 75 Million Chinese people with the surname
                    â€œsun†? Allow someone to apply for a gTLD for

                    And â€œcommunities†or â€œnon-profits†? NOT if
                    their application is based on a generic term! By
                    fast-tracking them we deny others access. This would
                    create a HUGE mess – and liability for ICANN. ICANN

                    we might â€œside-track†GEOs or Brands IF there is

                    As for the transition of â€œwindows†(rounds) to
                    â€œan ongoing process: I like Jeff Neumann’s
                    suggestion that once when in a certain round there
                    are only a few (or none?) contentions – we open the
                    system up and allow real time application
                    submitting. Till then we have e.g. every two years,
                    annually or bi-annual â€œrounds†. Just not with an
                    8 years stop-gap in between like now. Most of the
                    â€œadjustment†to the Guidebook is due now (between
                    the 1st and the 2nd round). After that there will be
                    fewer and smaller â€œadjustments†– they could be
                    added â€œon the fly†. I guess thee 2nd round
                    (2020) will take up all of ICANN’s capacity for
                    say 2 years. So the 3rd round could be set 2 years
                    after the 2nd, the 4th a year after the 3rd, then

                  <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">It looks
                    remarkably similar to a chart presented to the ICANN
                    Board in 2010 or 2011 as the main argument for not
                    adding to the categories of TLDs in the last round
                    because they would be problematic (read,
                    Ã¢€œimpossible†) to implement. </p>
                  <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"> </p>
                  <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">Even in
                    this spreadsheet, I can argue whether most of the
                    tick marks in the cells apply in all cases. 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. </p>
                  <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"> </p>
                  <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">Categories
                    of TLDs have always been problematic.

                  <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"> </p>
                  <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">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.
                  </p>
                  <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"> </p>
                  <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">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 ¢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,
                    Ã¢€˜yes’ and the other Ã¢€™no’? T¢no’?
                    This sort of issue is simple compared to evaluating
                    community applications. </p>
                  <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"> </p>
                  <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">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.</p>
                  <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"> </p>
                  <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">For
                    those who want a smoothly running, fair, predictable
                    gTLD program, the creation of categories should be
                    avoided.

                  <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">Instead,
