<p>I think the main issues is that with an endless variety for
pricing models for especially premium names, it can be sometimes a
bit difficult to discern the renewal pricing of a particular
domain name. <br>
</p>
<p>In the previous world, one only had to look at the standard price
list of a registrar, look for a TLD and find your renewal price.
If you do that now, you may find a bad surprise down the road when
you notice that this price does not apply to your premium name, no
matter how big the letters on the website of the registrar
pointing out the possibility of differential pricing between names
in the same TLD were. <br>
</p>
<p>It has become somewhat consumer-unfriendly.</p>

Allow me to amplify and confirm my few Chat
comments during the conference call last Monday
afternoon, 9 April 2018.<br>
<br>
In general the working document (1.12
Deliberations etc .) is an excursion into a
working method with which I am quite unfamiliar,
so I ask those of you who have this for your
bread-and-butter to bear with me for a little
while. I also have noted that the document is in
the form of questions for discussion and not
recommendations at this stage. So I hope that
some of my comments may still be taken into
account.<br>
<br>
Indeed, at some points, I find the drafting on
some issues rather uncertain; there are
ambiguities and options that - from the point
of view of a rather more conventional approach
– might be described as loopholes. ICANN and
GNSO will no doubt have gathered that the next
'round' will be scrutinised by third parties far
more thoroughly than was the case in 2004 or
2012. More specifically:<br>
<br>
1.<span class="apple-tab-span"> </span>Rollout:
It would be helpful to have information about
how many new TLDs have still not been
implemented, and why.<br>
<br>
For instance, after the 24 months allowed, it is
not clear why “… extensions…should continue to
be available according to the same terms and
conditions as they were allowed during the 2012
round.”<br>
<br>
In a related question, “The Work Track was also
careful to avoid drawing the conclusion that
only having <nic.TLD> registered
constituted 'squatting' or 'warehousing' “<br>
<br>
Taken together these two statements leave the
strong impression that the Work Track would in
practice accept squatting and warehousing of new
TLDs. Was that intended?<br>
<br>
If there has been 'unwanted behaviour' – and the
subsequent discussion suggests that there has
been – then one might have expected a rather
more proactive approach to discouraging such in
the future.<br>
<br>
2. Contractual compliance - pricing for premium
domains.<br>
<br>
The document discusses the issue of 'pricing for
premium domains' but reports that 'The WT has
not reached any conclusions on this issue'.
Whereas it is quite likely that applicant
representations and related authorisations would
address prmium pricing.
<br>
<br>
For instance, in the case of a geographical
name, there would normally be a presumption of
non-discrimination between Registrants, such as
towns or other communities, within that geo-TLD.<br>
<br>
More generally, ICANN might consider moving
towards a policy whereby the economic 'rent' for
a 'premium name' should accrue to the Registrant
and not to the Registry. Otherwise it would
appear that the Registry would be taking
advantage of its monopoly over their TLD in
question in an unjustifiably discriminatory
manner.<br>
<br>
3. Contractual compliance – enforceability of
representations<br>
<br>
The document reports that the WT considered a
proposal 'that all applicant representations
should be included in the registry agreement'
and that 'There was no agreement … in support of
this proposal.'<br>
<br>
This would appear to be a rather weak conclusion
which might be queried at a later stage because
it does not really respond to the four questions
indicated under f. Deliberations.<br>
<br>

The above is but a summary of the main concerns
evoked by this section of the draft. I look
forward to discussing these and other aspects in
due course.
