<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">Dennis Tan has suggested that questions C1 and C2 are considered in tandem. Explanation: The charter drafting team wanted to acknowledge the structure of the Staff Paper. The intention was to look at this in a vacuum
and break the conversation down piecemeal – first, look at what the same entity principle means, then define what the same entity is. Second level variants exist today and the same entity principle is applied to those as a concept. C1 speaks to just the definition
of the concept, C2 goes into what that means in practice, including for existing gTLD operators. It would be beneficial to look at the same entity principle means as a registrant (C2), holistically with C1, because there are real-world implications. In the
existing Registry Agreement the same entity is the sponsoring registrar as opposed to the registrant.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo10">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">Summary: C2 assumes that the registrant is the “same entity”, but in C1, there is no definition of same entity.

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">Discussion question: should a future second-level label under any allocatable variant label of an existing TLD (i.e., Chinese or Arabic gTLD) be only allocated to the same entity, or else withheld for possible allocation

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">Response: Variant labels are by definition considered the same by the users from various points of view, for example they may be visually identical (but different code points). If they are registered to different
registrants, a user may think they are going to one website but they are going to a different website (misconnection). If the same entity principle is followed, you don’t have the risk of misconnection, so the security concern is addressed.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo10">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">Question: Can we define same entity as the same registrant and same registry, but the registrar can be different?<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo10">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">Response: This becomes tricky in the implementation if there is not a connection that requires the same registrar.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo10">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">Comment: We need to be mindful of relationships. The registry has a relationship with the registrar. The registrar has a relationship with the registrant or the registrar may have a relationship with the reseller
who has a relationship with the registrant. The way the data flows upstream currently needs to be taken into account. If/when information flows from the registrant to the registry, this is limited. It is difficult to picture how a registry would manage this
situation without having the registrar in the middle. <o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo10">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">Additional comment: During the course of a domain registration, the registrant can change its registrar. The registrar is changeable.

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">Comment: In response to question about whether a registry could check that it is same registrant. Technically this is possible because it is possible to have shared contact/registrant handle between registrars. But
allowing different registrars would likely be complex to manage.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo10">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">Comment: While technically feasible, it is very impractical to operate and scale.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo10">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">Comment: If the registrant changes the registrar, it can do so for the variant labels, as well.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo10">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">Comment: Once you have a variant set “package”, the set must move together. If this principle is followed, there is not a way to separate into different registrars.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo10">

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">Summary: Support for the same entity being the registrant. Question: How do we put this into policy? Can we put a requirement on the registrant that if they register a name at the second level that they use the same

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">Comment: We need to keep in mind why we are doing this PDP. We want more IDNs. As we issue recommendations about how the relationships need to be implemented, what will be required of registries and registrars, and
how it will be enforced, we need to think about the technical complexity and make it implementable for the contracted parties.

is no supply, there will be no demand.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>
