- I am only good with the version in v3 above, not with
adding anything about disadvantaged communities or how to
mitigate it or anything like that. I believe that asking
any questions that cannot be evaluated is not something we
should be engaging in. This is not an academic exercise,
but rather the proposed business of an applicant.
Applicants are not experts in politics, ecnomics, and
should not be expected to engage in an acedemic exercise
of who in theory "could possibly" be impacted in manners
outside of their control. IN the agreed language we are
already asking appicants to identify all risks and how
they are going to mitigate against those risks. What is
also clear to me is that anyone that does not want th
applicant have the TLD can in public comment set forth the
whole parade of horribles that in theory could happen.
And the evaluators can then assess whether (a) the
comments have identfied actual likely risks, and (b)
whether the applicant has or can address those risks (by
asking Clarifying questions).</span><span

<p><b><font color="#00ff00"><font color="#008000">Kathy: I've never
understood how or why affiliates became part of our
discussion. Section 2.9(c) of the registry agreement (pasted
below) is not relevant to our discussion - it applies to the
concern of co-owned registries and registrars (and of course
"closed .Brand" gTLDs and their domain names are only for
the registry and their co-owned, or subsidiary parts). <u>But
we must not mislead the future Policy Development Process
groups, and this definition will. </u> We (our Small
Team; not of us) are not thinking just about entities
directly or indirectly owned - or even common governing
documents (sorry John, I see where you were trying to go
here) - unless you mean that the common document of a
membership organization, e.g, CTIA, could apply. <br>

Agreement, does not apply to the independent members of an
industry association or to the very independent national

independent small non-profits in a very fair way. Affiliates
is a term of art in the contract (please see below) and we
definitely need a more encompassing term - and I think we can

I thought that it was made apparent that a second
comment period was unnecessary under the current
structure but that some advocating for this point
felt that it was needed to allow for additional
time. As such, I support the ability for a party
alleging harm (i.e., standing) for a closed generic
TLD to request an extension of time, with the period
of that extension decided upon in the policy-making
group
