early to tell (I'm of the too early to tell crowd myself). Usually when an industry asks for a reduction in fees it is because of financial distress. I see from your email that you believe it is just a "we paid too much so we want it back." Good to know.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Subject: Re: [gnso-rpm-wg] A Brave New World Without Sunrises or the<br>
TMCH<br>
From: Jon Nevett <jon@donuts.email><br>
Date: Sat, April 15, 2017 7:09 am<br>
To: "J. Scott Evans" <<a href="mailto:jsevans@adobe.com">jsevans@adobe.com</a>><br>
Cc: "<a href="mailto:gnso-rpm-wg@icann.org">gnso-rpm-wg@icann.org</a>" <<a href="mailto:gnso-rpm-wg@icann.org">gnso-rpm-wg@icann.org</a>><br>
<br>
J. Scott:<br>
<br>
To correct the record on a couple of your posts:<br>
<br>
1. New TLD registries asked for a relatively small refund of the almost $100M in excess application fees we paid to ICANN in the form of a fee reduction. That doesn't mean they are a "disaster" or "unsuccessful" or whatever else you are insinuating.<br>
<br>
2. I haven't seen any evidence that New TLD registries are generally in violation of their registry agreements with regard to the provision about registrant misuse of domain names. If you have evidence of such, let's work together with ICANN compliance to go
after these registries. Those of us spending a great deal on compliance don't like to see others skirt the rules.<br>
<br>
Could we deal with the legitimate concerns of the current system without leveling attacks and unfair insinuations against other groups?<br>
<br>
It seems like registries on this list are ok with the current use of the TMCH and the sunrise process. We want to address the small subset of sunrise gaming where folks register dictionary-word trademarks for the sole purpose of registering during sunrises
in related TLDs. One solution to this problem is to give registries better access to the clearinghouse to deal with these issues, but with strict guidelines of how that information could be used.<br>
<br>
I also have heard many concerns about the 90 day claims requirements, as many registrars declined to build the infrastructure to process such domain names during the first 90 days.<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
