<p class="MsoNormal">I understand that it is your interpretation that we have changed the RVC concept by stating that they can be submitted at any time, but we do not believe that is the case. Even as far back as prior to ICANN67 when this issue was discussed
with the community and the GAC, there was no limitation on how and when RVCs could be filed. The important part of the discussion was not when or why they were filed, but that they would be sent out for review and public comment.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><u><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Rationale for Recommendation xx (rationale 4)</span></u><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">:
</span><b><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:red">The Working Group agreed that it is important for applicants to have an opportunity to make commitments either in anticipation of concerns or objections that might be raised about an application
or in response to concerns or objections that have been raised.</span></b><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"> The Working Group further agreed that there must be a
<span style="background:white">mechanism to transform these application statements into binding contractual commitments</span>. The Working Group believes that the system of Registry Voluntary Commitments (RVCs) (previously called Voluntary PICs) in the 2012
round served the purpose of allowing applicants to make and be held to such commitments. Therefore, the Working Group recommends maintaining this mechanism in subsequent procedures. [Emphasis added]<i><span style="background:white"><o:p></o:p></span></i></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black;background:white"><o:p> </o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black;background:white">A couple of key points:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black;background:white"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<ol start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list:l5 level1 lfo11">In looking at the rationale (and in line with our discussions) it was clear that Working Group wanted to allow registries to make commitments either “IN ANTICIPATION OF CONCERNS OR OBJECTIONS THAT
MIGHT BE RAISED ABOUT AN APPLICATION OR IN RESPONSE TO CONCERNS OR OBJECTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN RAISED.” You have interpreted the Recommendation is a much more narrow sense that RVCs could only be introduced in response to a “formal public comment” or a “formal
objection” in addition to GAC Advice or Early Warning.<o:p></o:p></li><ol start="1" type="a">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list:l5 level2 lfo11">But your interpretation is not in line with the way it was drafted.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list:l5 level2 lfo11">It does not say that RVCs may only be filed for the reasons in the first sentence.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list:l5 level2 lfo11">Nor does it state that “public comments” only means those submitted during the formal “Public Comment Period.”<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list:l5 level2 lfo11">For that matter it doesn’t state that “objections” only means the formal objection process.<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list:l5 level1 lfo11">Thus when you asked for “objections” to refer to the “formal objection period” that is what triggered the addition “or for any other reason” language to be in keeping with the original intent.<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
<p class="MsoNormal">Bottom line is that while the language “or for any other reason” is new, the concept is not. The addition of that language only became necessary after you recommended that we insert the word “formal” before objection to refer to the formal
objection period in the Applicant Guidebook.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So now have two choices.<o:p></o:p></p>
<ol start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list:l3 level1 lfo12">Reject your proposed change of “formal” before objections; OR<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list:l3 level1 lfo12">Accept your proposed change adding “formal”, but then making it clear that the intent of adding the word “formal” was not to limit how or when a Registry files an RVC.<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Please remember the important component to every other member of the working group was not the trigger for the RVC, but rather the fact that the RVC would be subject to comment/review.<o:p></o:p></b></p>

raise questions about the various references to “objections” in both the RVC section and the Application Change Request section. Those sections talk about “objections”. I did not see a prohibition on adopting RVCs in response to private negotiations with
a party that is threatening to file an Objection. If we are permitting an RVC to be adopted during a private negotiation process, the RVC should be subject to public comment. If we are prohibiting adoption of an RVC to resolve a dispute before it gets to
the formal Objection phase, then I am also fine with that </span><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

to public comment. This is not at all clear in the document. We make reference to “formal objections” in the Objections section and just use the word “objections” in the RVC and Application Change Request section. We do not make any references to an RVC
adopted pursuant to private negotiation before an Objection is filed. If we are going to allow those, it needs to be clear and it also needs to be clear that they are subject to public comment. If we are not going to allow that kind of private resolution,
that has to be clear from the document. </span><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

someone is interested in expressing comment or opposition about an application they are required to do so within those confines (minus GAC). This makes it a fair playing field for all applicants, including community applicants.

oppostion. For standard applicants, any comment or opposition expressed after initial evaluation and “formal” objections were completed had no further impact, however for community applicants, ICANN’s miscarriage of the AGB rules had a direct impact on CPE

in response to a “formal” objection require public comment, then that language, in and of itself, creates a category of objection that is “not formal”. That could easily be a call or a letter from some party that says, “If you don’t adopt the following RVC,
we are going to file an objection.” In that case, the RVC that is adopted should also be subject to an Application Change Request and public comment. A private “threat” like that would not be a matter of public comment.</span><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

years after the public comment period was closed and the formal objection period was complete. There was certainly no reference in the AGB that this would be allowed or acceptable. It was ultimately a successful gaming tactic used against community applicants.
Community applicants deserve the same level of predictability as all other applicants.

a thought that there are “informal” objection processes? This language also appears in Rationale 6 and there are NUMEROUS insertions of this reference in the Section on Deliberations. Is there some intended effect here with respect to Subsection d. which
specifies that a change in Registry Voluntary Commitments that is made in response to a “formal objection” invokes an application change process? Is the idea that if there are RVCs that are agreed OUTSIDE the “formal objection” process (i.e. via an “informal”
objection), those RVCs are somehow NOT subject to an application change process and related public comment?
