<p class="MsoNormal">On behalf the RySG members of the EPDP I would like to submit the following observations to the draft outcomes.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;margin-bottom:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo7">
<u>Summary of the redline</u>: Adding clarifying language to reflect that allocation alone of a TLD to a same entity cannot guarantee avoiding denial of service failure mode.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;margin-bottom:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo7">
<u>Proposed language: Rationale for Recommendation 2.1</u>: To support its consideration of charter question B1, the EPDP Team reviewed the SubPro PDP recommendation 25.5 and Staff Paper recommendation 2, as well as their rationale. The EPDP Team agreed that
abiding by the “same entity” principle and having the same registry operator for all allocatable variant labels of an existing gTLD will help minimize<span style="color:red">, but not guarantee,<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span>the security
risk associated with the “failure modes” – including denial of service and misconnection – when dealing with variant labels. Therefore, the EPDP Team affirms to extend the SubPro PDP and the Staff Paper recommendations to existing gTLDs.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;margin-bottom:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo7">
<u>Why the redline?</u><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Recommendation 2.1 is applied at the top level, not at the domain name level. Making a TLD label allocatable to a single entity (or withheld) does not directly avoid the failure mode of denial
of service. Even if the gTLD variant is activated into the root, an actual domain name (second level.variantTLD) needs to be registered and operated, in all variant TLDs. So, while it can help to minimize denial of service problem, it cannot guarantee it due
to downstream actions (by other entities different than the registry operator) that need to be implemented. Therefore, the inclusion of a caveat. Related to this. For special purpose TLDs (brand, geo, community based) if the variant set is held to the same
requirements, then it is possible that allocatable variants do not meet the same eligibility requirements as the primary label (for example, a trademark record). Avoiding denial of service due to an inactive TLD variant (in this case) is not only improbable,
but impossible.<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;margin-bottom:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo7">
<u>Summary of the redline</u>: a registry operator should not be expected to ensure consistent user experience because it does not host or manage content (e.g. website, email services).<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;margin-bottom:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo7">
<u>Rationale for Recommendation 2.6</u>: As IDN gTLDs and variant labels that are considered a set are yet to be delegated and operated at the root zone level, there is uncertainty about how the set will be managed and operated by the registry operator from
a technical and user perspective. Therefore, it will be important that applicants are able to explain their need for a set of IDN variant label(s) as well as demonstrate their technical capability to operate and manage the set. Therefore, the applicant will
be required to respond to additional application questions to address why they seek to activate those variant label(s) in addition to the primary new gTLD (i.e., necessity and expected usage of the variant labels),<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><s><span style="color:red">as
well as how it plans to manage the set operationally, with a view to ensuring a secure, stable, and consistent user experience</span></s>. The applicant’s response to these questions is expected to be a critical component in the evaluation process. Evaluators
with requisite expertise are expected to assess these responses.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;margin-bottom:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo7">
<u>Why the redline</u>? While the language is in the rationale and not the draft recommendation, it may be misconstrued in an implementation guideline. We are far away from discussing operational requirements, but the suggestion that a registry operator should
be expected to “manage” and “ensure” a “consistent user experience”, we think it may be misleading. We suggest removing that sentence from the rationale which does not affect the overall intent.<o:p></o:p></li></ul>

<u>Summary of the redline</u>: Minor change for consistency in terminology.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;margin-bottom:0in;mso-list:l2 level1 lfo8">
<u>Recommendation 2.3</u>: If the registry operator operating a variant gTLD label changes its back-end registry service provider, all the variant gTLD label(s) in the set must also<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><s><span style="color:red">switch</span></s><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color:red"> </span></span><span style="color:red">transition<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span>to
