also support sticking with the term “reserved names” and not trying to break this down. All reserved names are “contractually allowed”, whether they constitute one of the maximum of 100 that the registry can activate for operational or promotional purposes
or not. Indeed a number of reserved names are contractually-mandated, either permanently or subject to requirements to obtain consent. I would suggest the important point for these purposes is that names can be reserved, and what the interplay with the RPMs
is if names are released from reservation. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I agree Lori. There are more than two categories of reserved names (another category for instance is Red Cross and IOC). I don't think we need to say why names might be reserved in the definition. If we leave the reference
that I added in, then people can go look for themselves.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span lang="EN-US">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">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... <o:p>
</o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">But you are working through today's reality while I am living the original Registry Agreement drafting and understanding. What am I missing?
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">Registry Agreement Section 2.6 below.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">Best and tx, Kathy<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">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<o:p></o:p></span></p>

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></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" 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 lang="EN-US" 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><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" 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 lang="EN-US" 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><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
