<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">There were a lot of potential “pros” and “cons” listed in the draft Initial Report. This is because the GAC advice is to the effect that if there is an award
for a “closed” or “exclusive” generic term, then that TLD must be awarded and operated “in the public interest”. I suppose that is why there are questions and why it is seen as contentious.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p>> this is one of the most contentious issues ...<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>In what respect? THE Board decision on the last round seems to me to be quite enough.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>1. If the applicant has an uncontested right to a name, then Okay, but I fail to see what the business model or other advantages might be.<br>
<br>
2. If the application is for a Closed TLD on the basis of a name (dictionary, Geographical or other) to which the applicant has NO prior right, then NO.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="ox-7eab94010d-msonormal">Thanks Jim. Of course we will wait and incorporate all of the feedback we get from the public comment period. After all that the purpose of the public comment period. The purpose of the face to face meetings in Panama are
“to develop the tools we need to complete our work”. So the topic is not what IS (OR WILL BE) our position on this highly contentious issue. But, what are some of the tools we can use at our disposal (or that we need from elsewhere) to get to a final recommendation.
In other words, it is a strategic planning exercise, on how we as a group can get to the final report with a recommendation that of course incorporates all feedback. Another way to look at this is how can we incentivize the group to get to a final recommendation.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="ox-7eab94010d-msonormal">Have one question on the closed generics issue. The way you have it written seems to put the cart before the horse.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="ox-7eab94010d-msonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="ox-7eab94010d-msonormal">As the draft preliminary report stated, this is one of the most contentious issues we have on our plate with a wide range of opinions and no clear indication of consensus. And as a result, we are putting several questions
and options out to the community for their feedback. Feedback meant to inform the deliberations of this group.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="ox-7eab94010d-msonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="ox-7eab94010d-msonormal">How does this group “move towards a final proposal” in a few weeks’ time without waiting for the feedback we are asking for? I fear that if we did that, it sends a terrible signal to the broader community that while we are
asking for their feedback, we are not really interested in it and are moving on without it.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="ox-7eab94010d-msonormal">Dear SubPro WG Members and Observers,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="ox-7eab94010d-msonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="ox-7eab94010d-msonormal">First, we wanted to remind you that this week we will have
<strong>2 Full Working Group </strong>calls and one call the week of June 18<sup>th</sup> to finalize all of the materials for the Preliminary Report<strong>. </strong>The calls are at:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
Tuesday, June 12: 03:00 UTC (For those in the US, that means 11:00 pm on the East Coast and 8:00 pm on the West Coast tonight)<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
Thursday, June 14: 20:00 UTC<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
Monday, June 18: 15:00 UTC<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p class="ox-7eab94010d-msonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="ox-7eab94010d-msonormal">Second, as you are aware, we are fast approaching ICANN 62 in Panama in just a few short weeks. The entire leadership team is actively preparing for our scheduled 5 face to face sessions. Those sessions are currently scheduled
for:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="ox-7eab94010d-msonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2">
SubPro WG Work Tracks 1-4 Session 1: Monday, June 25: 9:00 – 10:15 (Local Panama Time)<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2">
SubPro WG Work Tracks 1-4 Session 2: Monday, June 25: 10:30 – 12:00 (Local Panama Time)<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2">
SubPro WG Work Track 5 Session 1: Monday, June 25: 15:15 – 16:45 (Local Panama Time)<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2">
SubPro WG Work Tracks 1-4 Session 3: Thursday, June 28: 13:30 – 15:00 (Local Panama Time)<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2">
SubPro WG Work Track 5 Session 2: Thursday, June 28: 15:15 – 16:45 (Local Panama Time)<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p class="ox-7eab94010d-msonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="ox-7eab94010d-msonormal">The leadership team is aware that there are a number of conflicting sessions that have been scheduled during the times that we are scheduled to meet and that as a result many of you will be in a position of having to decide
which sessions to attend. We sincerely hope that you can attend all of our meetings.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="ox-7eab94010d-msonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="ox-7eab94010d-msonormal">Because this is the Policy Forum, a meeting that is structured to further our policy development work, we are planning some critical interactive sessions that will enable us as a group to move forward with some of our most
contentious issues. Although the Initial Report will hopefully be out by the time that we are in Panama, there is still a lot of work ahead of us as we hit the home stretch working towards a final report. Completion of our Final Report is a key gating item
before the implementation work for the next application window for new gTLDs to begin. As a reminder, the plan is to publish the Initial Report before Panama, but not start the Public Comment period prior to the ICANN Meeting. We will likely start the comment
period the week after the ICANN meeting. We will discuss this again on the call tonight/tomorrow.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="ox-7eab94010d-msonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="ox-7eab94010d-msonormal">With respect to Work Tracks 1-4, the leadership team will likely be finalizing the list of topics to be discussed over the next week, but those topics are likely to include: (a) working towards a final proposal on exclusive
use / closed generic TLDs, (b) the use of Private Auctions to resolve string contention, and (c) working on deliverables expected to be delivered to us by the CCT Review Team. We will likely be breaking up into smaller groups during the scheduled sessions
to provide everyone with the opportunity to weigh in on these topics and to develop the tools we need to complete our work. The sessions in Panama will be the only chance to do this in a face to face setting and will be used to decide how we move ahead.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="ox-7eab94010d-msonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="ox-7eab94010d-msonormal">For Work Track 5, the four Co-Leaders will be reaching out to you all shortly on its finalized agendas.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="ox-7eab94010d-msonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="ox-7eab94010d-msonormal">We understand that you have some difficult choices on how to prioritize your time at ICANN 62 and sincerely hope that you attend our sessions. There will be recordings, notes and transcripts from all of the meetings and if
you are unable to attend, you will still nonetheless be expected to have reviewed those materials before our next meeting after ICANN 62.<o:p></o:p></p>
