<p><b><span style="color:purple">>> This language is better, but I still think using the word "objective" is misleading for those reading this description. Elements of our closed generic application evaluation are done by experts and their judgment is relied
on. This meets the expert/US government contracting definition of subjective and matches the type of expert evaluation that is part of our shared Framework. I would delete objective - I think many challenges will be filed based on a misunderstanding of it.</span></b><o:p></o:p></p>

Affirmation 40.1: The Working Group affirms Implementation Guideline I from 2007, which states: “<u>An applicant granted a TLD string must use it within a fixed timeframe which will be specified in the application process</u>.”

Affirmation 40.2: The Working Group supports maintaining the timeframes set forth in the 2012 Applicant Guidebook and base Registry Agreement; namely (i) that successful applicants continue to have nine (9) months following the date of being notified that it
successfully completed the evaluation process to enter into a Registry Agreement, and (ii) that registry operators must complete all testing procedures for delegation of the TLD into the root zone within twelve (12) months of the Effective Date of the Registry
Agreement. In addition, extensions to those time frames should continue to be available according to the same terms and conditions as they were allowed during the 2012 round.

that the timeframes for gTLD rollout from the 2012 round continue to be appropriate in subsequent rounds. ....
