<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Like Kurt and Martin, I too cannot support the proposed Recommendation 35.4 requiring sealed bids. Policy making within PDPs is supposed to be fact based. This
recommendation appears to be simply a preference by a small group of ICANN insiders. No problem was ever identified and this proposed solution to the non-problem has never been studied to see if it would fix the problem which no one, in over four years, has
located. This is simply not fact based policy development and the recommendation should have never made it into this final report in the first place.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Unfortunately, the proposed solution without a problem has created significant problems including what appears to be a significant, and unnecessary, barrier to
entry for new .brand applicants. In fact, the proposed recommendation seems tailor-made to exclude .brands from the New gTLD Program as it requires .brand applicants to participate in blind bidding, which cannot be increased, with no information about (1)
who the other applicants are, (2) how those other applicants intend to use the TLD, and (3) whether or not the other applicants have put forward any Voluntary Registry Commitments to ensure that the TLD will not be used in conjunction with any goods or services
that the .Brand applicant trades in. Additionally, it requires blind bids to be put in prior to the completion of prior rights objections, rendering that flawed objections process even more impotent. As a result, I ask that all of Recommendation 35.4 be marked
as “No Consensus” which will allow the default 2012 ascending bids mechanism to remain in place.

those. Thanks!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

the close of the Consensus Call, the WG Co-Chairs will meet on Monday, 11 January 2021 to review the responses from the WG members and determine the Consensus Designations for the Outputs. The WG Co-Chairs will post the results of their determination to the
