<p>Er dhould also remember that the auctions were offered / enforced
by ICANN as last resort and the preference was always that the
parties work it out amongst themselves. Whether that took the way
of a private auction or a backroom deal, or even a cooperation
between the applicants was of no difference to the last program,
it was the intended process, even though those that wrote and
agreed to it did likely not imagine all the different forms this
process would take. <br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Collusion is <a
href="https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/collusion"
moz-do-not-send="true">
defined</a> as “agreement between people to act together
secretly or illegally in order to deceive or cheat someone.” I
am not sure we can say for a FACT that collusion occurred “in
order to deceive or cheat someone.” Yes, parties did work in
secret and came up with “agreements”, but the second element
or deceit or cheat is just as important.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the last round the Applicant Guidebook
not only allowed working in private to resolve contention
sets, but it encouraged it. The mere act of having private
auctions does not equate to there being collusion.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">That said, we still may want to list
collusion as an “undesirable activity”; but collusion would
include the “in order to deceive or cheat someone.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
The second question, however, is do we believe that private
auctions, in and of themselves, for the New gTLD Program,
should be considered “undesirable activity.” Although not
“collusion”, we could still attempt to disallow them.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">That is what we are trying to get a sense
of from the group. Are Private Auctions (whether done
legitimately or not) undesirable for resolving contention
sets? Does it harm the reputation of ICANN or the program? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please note, as one of the Co-Chairs, I am
not taking a position on this, other than to note that many of
the comments (including from the GAC, ICANN Board, NCSG, some
registries, BC, Gov’t of India, etc.) stated in their comments
that private auctions where funds are distributed back to the
losing applicants, may not be desirable. Other groups,
including some registries, the RrSG, the IPC, Neustar, BRG,
etc. however, did support private auctions where are
applicants agree to participate.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">On the call
early this morning (for some
of us), while we were
discussing the
goals/objectives to consider
when selecting a mechanism of
last resort to resolve string
contention, a very important
question was asked by a
participant on the call. The
question demonstrated that
what one person believes is
“Bad Faith” other people may
not believe is “bad faith”
with respect to mechanisms to
resolve contention sets.<span

<p class="MsoNormal">So, with
the e-mail chain, I would like
for members of the Working
Group to discuss what
behaviors they would consider
to be of the type that we
would like to preclude? And
by the same token, what are
the types of activities that
we know we would like to
allow.<span

<div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">For
example, we believe from most
of the comments that have come
in as well as in our
discussions, that some forms
of private resolution have
been deemed acceptable. This
includes the creation of joint
ventures between applicants
(assuming public comment,
etc.), potentially revising
applications to address
concerns (eg., trademark owner
agrees to withdraw its
application if other applicant
agrees to mitigate trademark
abuse), 2 trademark owners
agree to modify strings to
enable both to have their own
TLDs (eg., .deltafaucets or
.deltaair)), etc.<span

<p class="MsoNormal">We have
also heard from the ICANN
Board that they may believe
that participating in private
auctions with the sole purpose
of losing and using those to
fund other auctions may not be
as desirable. <span
