<p>Alexander's proposal below seems fundamental and basic, and
almost incontrovertible. If you are going to ask for a gTLD space,
use it. That makes sense and is a underlying premise of much of
the Applicant Guidebook with its roll-out provisions.<br>
</p>
<p>I support. <br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span>Dear
Jeff,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As discussed on the call yesterday here a
brief suggestion regarding a “use requirement”. First a
summary of my suggestion:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><b>The new RA
(Registry Agreement) should contain a clause that denies
contract renewal if registries have not had a Sunrise
registration phase (Spec-13 Brand Registries would be
exempted from this clause).<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here my rationale for this:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt">Obviously the
2007 PDP demanded a use requirement. Hence currently
registries face steep penalties for not contracting
(application will be withdrawn) and not testing/entering the
root (cancelation of the contract). <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt">Let’s be
cognizant of the 3 gTLD categories that emerged in 2012:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph"
style="margin-left:72.0pt;text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0
level1 lfo1"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span
style="mso-list:Ignore">1.<span style="font:7.0pt
"Times New Roman""> </span></span><!--[endif]-->Spec
13 gTLDs (Brands)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph"
style="margin-left:72.0pt;text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0
level1 lfo1"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span
style="mso-list:Ignore">2.<span style="font:7.0pt
"Times New Roman""> </span></span><!--[endif]-->Geo
gTLDs (mainly cities)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph"
style="margin-left:72.0pt;text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0
level1 lfo1"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span
style="mso-list:Ignore">3.<span style="font:7.0pt
"Times New Roman""> </span></span><!--[endif]-->All
others <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt">We can’t always
find “one size fits all” solutions – and claim that in
absence of a global solution we will not create ANY solution
at all. That said: I can’t speak for the category 1. And as
Martin Sutton said on the Monday GNSO call: if “use” was
defined by “number of domains”: nothing more easy than
registering a number of domains. So yes: for brand gTLDs it’s
nifty to “define” a “use requirement” – maybe someone else can
come up with a solution for Spec-13 registries.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt">BUT: For
categories 2 and 3 I think the solution is simple! We already
steeply penalize if the prospective registry doesn’t contract
or engage in testing. There are grace periods to do so (I
think 9 month). We could use the same grace period for
“startup” – which is opening the string up for registrations
in Sunrise!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt">At BARE minimum
we should put into the new RA (Registry Agreement) that
failure for categories 2 and 3 (non-Spec-13 registries) to
startup (start sunrise) WILL be a reason to deny contract
renewal! A DECADE of not starting up should be a clear sign of
failure. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt">This solution is
NOT impacting Spec 13 applicants. We can discuss separately
whether or not we wish to add a “use requirement” for them as
well. This solution would also NOT impact 2012 round new
gTLDs.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
