<p>Hi Kristine, Useful discussion! At least as I read Registry
Agreement 2.6, it's a reference to Specification 5 - thus, the
same 100 Reserved Names (which the New gTLD Registry Operator does
not have to share). But as I read and have always read the
language, anything beyond that 100 Reserved Names may be
registered by the Registry Operator but cannot be merely
"reserved," but must be "registered" through a Registrar under the
Registry name (or some other corporate name). Thus, these domains
would not be "Reserved Name" (e.g., a special list of
unregistered domains), but will be visible, registered domain
names appearing in the Whois.</p>
<p>The problem I thought we were facing is some New gTLD Registries
creating large Reserved Lists (far beyond the 100 of Specification
5, and outside the requirements of 2.6.) If that's not an issue,
then great. But the problems I was hearing with "Reserved Names"
would seem to be beyond a few dozen here or there... <br>
</p>
<p>But you are working through today's reality while I am living the
original Registry Agreement drafting and understanding. What am I
missing? <br>
</p>
<p>Registry Agreement Section 2.6 below.</p>
<p>Best and tx, Kathy<br>
</p>
<p>2.6<br>
Reserved Names. Except to the extent that
ICANN otherwise expressly <br>
authorizes in writing, Registry Operator shall
comply with the requirements set forth in <br>
Specification 5 attached hereto (“Specification
5”). Registry Operator may at any time <br>
establish or modify policies concerning Registry
Operator’s ability to reserve (i.e., withhold <br>
from registration or allocate to Registry
Operator, but not register to third parties,
delegate, <br>
use, activate in the DNS or otherwise make
available) or block additional character strings
<br>
within the TLD at its discretion. Except
as specified in Specification 5, if Registry
Operator <br>
is the registrant for any domain names in
the registry TLD, such registrations must be
<br>
through an ICANN accredited registrar, and
will be considered Transactions (as defined
in <br>
Section 6.1) for purposes of calculating the
Registry-‐ level transaction fee to be paid
to <br>
ICANN by Registry Operator pursuant to
Section 6.1<br>

<p>I understand that there is a second set of reserved names
which goes beyond the 100 domain names that New gTLD
Registries are allowed under the Registry Agreement for
operational and technical purposes (e.g., nic.newgld).
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Beyond these Reserved Names, there is a different list (much
more massive in some cases) that some Registry Operators
register for themselves and keep in abeyance - not for sale as
Premium Names. It is a different list, and apparently causing
the larger headache. Both are informally called "Reserved
Names," but the latter may be the larger headache. Shall we
mention both -- and give them different names, e.g., Reserved
Names[contract] and Reserved Names[outside the contract]?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Question: quotation marks are confusing below. Premium Names
has a close quote at the end, but no open quote and no
citation. Premium pricing has an open quote at the start, but
no close quote, and also no citation. If we are citing
documents, could we put the citation in and a link? <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Hi,
Kristine,</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Thank you
for your points. I agree with the references in red. As
far as the purple goes, I had debated on including it but
wondered if examples would be helpful. Once I thought
about examples, I felt that in fairness to the process, I
should mention dictionary terms and trademarks. I agree
that the language could carry emotional weight for some
but I also think that it reflects market realities and it
is a statement of fact. I don’t agree with other term of
value to RO as the value is to the purchaser or what the
RO thinks the purchaser might pay. Perhaps a compromise
is “</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#7030A0">This
may include: length of string; whether the string is an
acronym, or whether the string has other meaning in the
market.” </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I don’t
necessarily object to removing the last 2 sentences
entirely but I thought some explanation could be useful to
the process. My proposal would be to:</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph"

<p class="MsoNormal"><span

are my thoughts:</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">Just for clarity, I
suggest adding the reference in red for people who aren’t
familiar with the registry agreement.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">As far as premium
pricing, I think the second two sentences of explanation
aren’t needed and changed the text to purple for the group
to consider my opinion. At a minimum, I think the yellow
highlighted bit is kind of emotionally charged to imply
that registry operators put a premium price on established
trademarks. Certainly we want to investigate those
claims, but I think listing it as an example can create
bias. If the group votes to leave the purple text, I
propose we change the highlighted text to…”<span
style="background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">or
dictionary term or other term of value to the RO</span>.”</span><o:p></o:p></p>
