[Gnso-rpm-sunrise] Followup on hotel/hotels sunrise 'gaming' example

[BECKHAM, Brian]

Without getting into the TMCH/Sunrise purposes, for the SubTeam/WG's consideration, attached is an email including a proposal from a year-and-a-half ago seeking to address this.

Hi folks,

During today's sub team call, I was asked to explain why I felt the "hotel" sunrise registrations were gamed. I couldn't find, in real-time, the link to the prior discussion (I was on a different computer, and it appears that the message hadn't been indexed by Google!), but I found it now (by searching my email archives) at:

http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/gnso-rpm-wg/2017-March/001119.html

under point #6, from March 2017. Due to GDPR, much of the old WHOIS from 2017 is now redacted, But, a search of the "VAUM GMBH" registrant took me to:

https://undeveloped.com/domain-seller/vaum-gmbh-17b35615-99cb-4773-ba53-097c7156bf48?order=relevance

which shows dozens of hotel.TLD and hotels.tld domains all currently listed for sale. That doesn't appear consistent with the purpose of the TMCH and sunrise period.

Sincerely,

George Kirikos
