<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
Since the new gTLD RPMs were not adopted as ICANN policy covering all gTLDs, there shouldn't be any automatic presumption that they will apply to future rounds in my view. It's this group's role to decide whether they should or not. If *not* making a decision
means that we are, by default, deciding to extend the new RPMs to future rounds, then we haven't done our job. That would create a very bad incentive for people to gum up the process and avoid reaching consensus, just because by doing so they will get the
outcome that they are looking for anyway. What kind of multi-stakeholderism is that?<br>
