<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<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>Best, Kathy<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;color:#1F497D">Thanks Lori. Here are my thoughts:</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<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.
</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<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>
