<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">. For “non anti-competitive behaviour”, applicants must commit that its use of this closed generic gTLD will not be used to violate
<span style="color:red">applicable</span> national laws prohibiting unfair methods of competition.
<span style="color:red">This includes, but is not limited to<s>, , such as </s></span>collusion, restraints of trade that prohibit third parties from supplying or offering to supply goods or services, or otherwise monopolistically controlling, limiting, or
restricting the supply of goods or services.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">In other words, it would not be for ICANN to determine what is “anti-competitive”, but rather such determinations would be made by courts of national jurisdiction. If they found a violation of law, then ICANN
would have to ensure the registry takes remedial actions. ICANN Compliance should never be in the position of having to determine whether an action is ”anti-competitive” in any jurisdiction.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Hopefully this is what you meant John. If so, I can support. If not, it is a red line for me to have ICANN compliance act as a substitute for regulator of national laws.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

I don’t anticipate getting into the substance of these and will simply ask if the areas detailed properly encapsulate other conversations had by this group<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">In comments, staff have identified possible areas of duplication in upcoming points under discussion. When such areas arise, I will ask for the temperature of the room on the duplication issue before possibly moving
onto the substance of the framework element. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">This is a clean copy of framework elements from Discussion Draft v2.1 where the group has demonstrated broad agreement. This document will continue to evolve as you work through the remaining sections of Discussion
Draft v2.1. <b><i>Please keep this document clean</i></b>. We will consider this document as a whole after we complete the remaining work found in Discussion Draft v2.1.

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u><span style="color:black">Upcoming Discussions<o:p></o:p></span></u></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">As we continue to work through Discussion Draft v2.1, I’d remind you that this is
<u>not </u>the time to rehash previous positions. We all understand that many elements under discussion may not be the preference of a given individual while also not rising to the level of personal red line. Accordingly,
<b><i>I ask you limit interventions to clarifying questions and/or indications that the text under discussion is a personal red line.</i></b>
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Finally, at this point in the work I ask you focus your energy on the spirit and intention of each framework element under discussion rather than details of the text. I recognize this is far easier said than done,
but I ask we all try. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">As always, my sincere thanks for your continued hard work. We are getting there!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
