<span style="background:white">Revisiting discussion from last week -- question raised by a WG member -- where did we leave off on the issue of taking an RSP off the list

<span style="background:white">Leadership response - It didn’t seem to make sense to take someone off the list because in the 2012 round, a backend RSP was approved and that was it. If an RSP or registry operator were in breach or terminated, there was no
way to withdraw the approval received in testing, so this approach to the new program would be consistent with the 2012 round. Instead, reapproval would meet the goals and reduce bureaucracy.

<span style="background:white">Concern from one member that we need to be more proactive. There should be a program to help applicants who need to find an RSP in their jurisdiction. Otherwise power will be too concentrated in certain regions.

<span style="background:white">Process question - leaders are encouraging members to take discussion to the list. How will conversation on the list be taken into account and weighed vs. contributions on the call and through other channels? Should members restate

<span style="background:white">Proposed high level agreement - “</span>The Working Group<span style="background:white"> confirms that only difference between a pre-approved RSP and one that is approved during application evaluation is the timing of when the

<span style="background:white">If the only difference is a function of timing, leadership suggestion to group conversations about evaluation criteria into 2.7.7. Applicant Reviews and 2.11.1 Registry System Testing. Suggestion to create a small group to focus

<span style="background:white">One perspective - it is not a function of timing, it is a function of marketing, so there is a consumer issue involved.

<span style="background:white">Concern raised - the conversation started as one for creating efficiencies for the applicant, reducing costs, and improving predictability, but the conversation has evolved into how to protect RSPs. Conversation should be refocused

<span style="background:white">Point reiterated that in 2012, if you were approved in the evaluation, and you later violated your SLAs, this was handled at the contractual level for the individual TLD.
