<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">I would suggest that 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 "wild west" approach to TLDs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

up permanents to receive TLD applications and processes/evaluates and awards TLDs on a First-come, First-served basis. However, to ease the tracking problem that would come if applications were posted every day, ICANN would commit to posting all of its proposals
Quarterly (for example) so that anyone that wanted to file objections, public comments, etc. would have to only check 4X per year (as an example). This would eliminate all contention resolution, unless of course the application is unsuccessful (in which case
someone will develop a wait list service for TLDs ;)).</span><o:p></o:p></p>

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 demand, we move to a rolling registration of FCFS.<br>
<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.
<br>
<br>
When they announce is not related to when the application is received and the priority it gets in a FCFS – after thee round- model.<br>

<br>
What about a hybrid approach? FCFS is a terrible idea when no application has been permitted for over 5 years. There is “pent-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 “work it out†? Why not “cut to the chase†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 “social good†requirement.
“Community†is also about freedom of association, or in this case, freedom of “virtual 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 “estoppel†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 afterwards? I’m not saying that these are solutions but just trying
to provoke a different perspective/thought.<br>

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>

I agree to a degree. But what with “free market access†and “competition†? I assume we face about 10,000 applications within 3 month after we open the floodgates. Doesn’t matter whether it is a “round†or an “ongoing process†– thhe number of

There is no way around having a “round†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

But I agree with you: Instead of a vague “promise†of a next round in “about 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.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:12.0pt;margin-left:.5in">
So it’s almost like your “continuous application mechanism†with one “launch date†– just that there are various windows with fixed dates. To allow for competition to happen.

I have initially been a BIG fan of “fast tracking†certain categories – and frankly would benefit myself (one of the strings I promote would fit into 4 or even 5 of these suggested categories). But after much thinking I must say: This smells like disaster!
So I concur with Rob.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:12.0pt;margin-left:.5in">
Especially as we would have to make sure that no “generic 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 “.bar†) – obtainn the letter
of non-objection – and get fast-tracked. They then do NOT set up locality requirements and …… €¦ market to “bars†. There is a geo location to almost every generic term.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:12.0pt;margin-left:.5in">
Brands: there is no definition of a “brand†in regard to the DNS. At minimum the “brand†had to have a TM in say 25 to 50 (arbitrary number) countries since at least 20XX (ideally before 2012) – AND should NOT be “generic†. 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 “generic
term based Brand protection†works because you can exempt the term’s natural meaning from being protected – in the DNNS there are no “Trademark Goods and Services Classes†: unwittingly the generic term meaning would be targeted, too! If you have a brand
“sun†: GREAT! Just do not tell us no one else has a right to apply for a gTLD “.sun†– but you. You haven’t protected “SUN†froom being used – just for computers, or newspapers. Who kknows: Maybe there are 75 Million Chinese people with the surname
“sun†? Allow someone to apply for a gTLD for them.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:12.0pt;margin-left:.5in">
And “communities†or “non-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 woould get sued up and down.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:12.0pt;margin-left:.5in">
So there must be ONE application window in 2020 (or whenever it is) – once the applications are all in: we might “side-track†GEOs or Brands IF there is no contention. But that seems rather an implementation than a policy issue, right?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:12.0pt;margin-left:.5in">
As for the transition of “windows†(rounds) to “an 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 “rounds†. Just not with an 8 years stop-gap in between like now. Most of the “adjustment†to the Guidebook is due now (between the 1st and the 2nd round). After that there will be fewer and smaller
“adjustments†– they could be added “on 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 biannual rounds. Just: We
need certainty for future applicants –“ and definite schedule! <o:p></o:p></p>

I have difficulties reconciling the notion of ignoring categories, as it caused no end of problems after applications were submitted and created unnecessary delays. Where there are well-defined categories and a proven demand, categories can be created and processes
refined for that particular category, especially where the operating model is very different to the traditional selling /distribution to third parties.<o:p></o:p></p>

In reading the agenda for today’™s meeting, I read the spreadsheet describing the different TLD types. (See,
<a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mA_hTUhLhJSsfcmoQwREtUqxykZ5KfJffzJAAhEvNlA/edit#gid=1186181551" target="_blank">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;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, “impossible†) to implement.

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. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;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 class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;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, ‘yes’ and the other ’no’? T¢no’? This sort of issue is simple compared to evaluating community
applications. <o:p></o:p></p>

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.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;margin-left:.5in">
For those who want a smoothly running, fair, predictable gTLD program, the creation of categories should be avoided.
