[CPWG] [GTLD-WG] [registration-issues-wg] Subsequent Procedures

Mon Aug 20 18:00:19 UTC 2018

Maureen and Vanda,
I think that we all have ideas about how to address some issues that are related to the fact that there are some underserved (so far) geopolitical regions. As a matter of fact, if we do a thorough analysis the “underserved” areas are not only geopolitical, but also of different kind.
The question is whether the next round does have as objective to address in priority these areas, or whether is only based on maximisation of the profit.
I remember a similar discussion 20+ years ago, when I was working at ETSI, about the coverage of the GMS in Africa. The answer I got back then is that “there is no business case in Africa”. Seen in 2018, this position is ridiculous, but aren’t we reproducing the same cultural pattern today with TLDs?
Cheers,
Roberto

Some comments on Christopher points

a) Community Priority Evaluations
what was relevant during 2012 was the fact that all the effort asked for
community to prove support ( ltos of money to do this around the world )
was ignored during the analysis period and several community ( I have
promoted few) faced auction though their competitors had no prove of
community interest.
Then, if we will impose some demands to community we need to make sure
those items will be considered and none without similar qualifications will
be compete with them.

b)metrics
Metrics for end users are security, respect to privacy and " continuity".
If organization has no capacity to support initial investment so it will
fail in a couple years and all registrant had done to promote the new
domain will be waste of money.

I have been promoting here 2012 round. But it was this, myself talking
with several organizations to enter. We had a reasonable success but the
reality was there was NO PROMOTION of 2012 round in the South Hemisphere.
Nothing in digital news in local languages. ICANN came one day to Sao Paulo
Brazil and I asked people to join - we got 50 attendees . We had 8 ( from
11 applied in Brazil)  that attended this meeting . Nothing else was done
in South America.
When I have done a survey in 2015 talking with big companies around South
America I found just 1 that said they have no intention to apply if there
was another round, all others responded YES, they had interest, please
alert us, if there will be another round.
So - the point here is just one: MAKE HUGE PROMOTION IN SOUTH HEMISPHERE

Folks

Having gone through the Report and Appendix C, the issues that ALAC
has been concerned with before and - I am suggesting - should concentrate
on in its response include:

Community Priority Evaluations
These applicants had priority, but the definition was narrow and few
applications made it through on this. The definition needs to be revisited,
and the evaluation more transparent and predictable- and finalised BEFORE
evaluation

Metrics
Unde the general heading, the question is asked whether there should
be success metrics.  We said - and I believe should continue to say - have
metrics as to what success looks like from an ALAC perspective.

PICS
Under global public interest, the question is asked whether there
should continue to be PICS.  They are there because we argued for them -
and still should

Applications from outside the US/Europe
We expressed concern that most of the applications came from the US
and, to a lesser extent, Europe.  We said this came down to a number of
factors, including
Length and complexity of Applicant Guidebook - it should be more
accessible, comprehensible, in different languages
Need for applicant support - maybe a dedicated round for developing
countries
Possibility of variable fees
IDNs
The report mentions need for further work to be done on Universal
Acceptance

Happy to discuss

Holly
