They operate the gTLD “.shop” now. Not as “community priority”. They invoked the CPE! Got a whopping 6 out of 16 points - http://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/tlds/shop/shop-cpe-1-890-52063-en.pdf<br><br>Seemingly the “trick” works. Why did we have the limitations – when for a mere 100k (application fee minus refund) you can “opt out”? Especially when you invoke the CPE!<br><br>It was a 100% legal loophole – and I am NOT “pointing fingers” at “.shop” in retrospective. I just want that we do not provide any incentive for such behavior in the future. Either the “limitations” do not apply when you lose the CPE – or you can’t apply with BOTH types of application.<br><br>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>Alexander<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'> Gnso-newgtld-wg [mailto:gnso-newgtld-wg-bounces@icann.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Rubens Kuhl<br><b>Sent:</b> Friday, February 08, 2019 5:58 PM<br><b>To:</b> gnso-newgtld-wg@icann.org<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Gnso-newgtld-wg] 2012 New gTLD Program - Remaining Applications<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Alexander,<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>All instances of what you described that I remember (I didn't check) were brands.
