<html><body><span style="font-family:Book Antiqua; color:#000; font-size:10pt;"><div>Hey Anne</div><div><br></div><div>I think the term "administer the community" does lack exact definition as presented in the AGB, however my interpretation has always been that "administer" is a very loose term aiming to illustrate a concept of an entity taking the lead on the community application. For example, I'm not sure any entity has "administrative" authority or "administrative" reign over any given language or language community (which is an example of community used in the AGB). There may however be a highly recognized or community endorsed entity (rooted in or linked to the community in some way) that is put forward to lead a community application for a given language community.</div><div><br></div><div>I do have reason to believe that was how it was interpreted in the 2012 round as well.</div><div><br></div><div>Jamie</div><div><br></div>

Does this requirement make sense when we are trying to encourage Community TLDs for purposes of Applicant Freedom of Expression? It would seem more appropriate to talk about an entity that is formed for the purpose of administering the TLD for a clearly-delineated community. Is there an assumption here that all communities are somehow “administered”? And was that the assumption in the 2012 AGB?<o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"><o:p> </o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;">Maybe Jamie or others will have more background on this standard?<o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"><o:p> </o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;">3. p. 5 – Re 1-B Extension – it is a bit confusing that the 1 point category is defined as “not meeting the 2 point category” Is the only difference here the fact that 2 points emphasizes “considerable size AND longevity” whereas 1 point could mean “either considerable size OR longevity” or could the entity be of less than considerable “size” but have lots of longevity – maybe like the Kurds? <o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"><o:p> </o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;">Thank you,<o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;">Anne<o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"><o:p> </o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"><o:p> </o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"><o:p> </o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"><o:p> </o:p></div> <table class="TableGridLight1" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="border-collapse:collapse;border:none"> <tbody> <tr> <td width="336" valign="top" style="width:3.5in;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt"> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;line-height:105%"><b><span style="font-size:9.0pt;line-height:105%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#AF272F">Anne E.
