[GNSO-RPM-WG] Suggested Language from Small Team 1 on ALP relating to Sunrise Questions #3 and #4

[Paul Tattersfield]

Dear RPM WG members,

Please find below suggested Language from Small Team 1 on ALP relating to
Sunrise Questions #3 and #4 (Item 3 on our proposed draft agenda)

The Working Group recommends guidance to the Implementation Review Team
that the Approved Launch Program (ALP) Application Review Guidelines be
reviewed and clarified in order to address feedback obtained by the working
group regarding the length of time and complexity of process involved in
seeking to obtain approval for an ALP, and in particular recommends that
the IRT consider the following:

1. Where ICANN can not make a determination regarding an ALP application it
will notify the Registry Operator to that effect within 45 days stating
explicit reasons for needing more time and further, provide a decision date
projection plan within a time period not to exceed another 30 days. There
should be a reasonable expectation that all negotiations should be
completed within a 7 month period.

2. Where ICANN determines to decline an ALP application or make a request
for further information ICANN will include a full explanation of the
aspects of the ALP application ICANN deems to be acceptable and the aspects
ICANN deems to be unacceptable.

Best regards, Paul
