All valid points, but for every point there is an equally strong
counterpoint.

I’m not suggesting that the arguments for or against categories are right
or wrong, but I think that completely discounting them causes as many
problems as it solves.

Michele

One argument against different categories might be accessability of the new
gTLDs for applicants. If we reduce requirements for some applicants, why
not for all? Will the applicants that benefit from lesser requirements be
in a better position to get their TLD in case of a conflict?

As an example, say a multi-million company that owns a brand that also is a
generic term that a small public benefit initiative is also applying for,
on top of the economic advantage that the one applicant has over the other
we are now also saying that they must meet lower standards, making it
easier and cheaper for them to operate the TLD in the long run, adding
additional funds that can be thrown at beating the opponent in an auction
process?

We would also enter a minefield when a TLD fits into multiple categories.
Does it then have to fulfill the requirements of all the categories or just
the one the applicant intends to use it for? As we have seen, use cases may
change over time.

100% agree



I never understood why the concept of categories was rejected. Saying it’s
“hard” does not mean it’s “impossible” or that it shouldn’t be explored.



After the lack of categories we (the community) had to then deal with a
complicated patchwork of exemptions and other funky manipulations to get
around the quite meaningless limitations that were being imposed.

For example, this weekend in Madrid ICANN shared some stats about SLA
breaches from new TLD registries. Some people would argue that a “.brand”
should not have to meet the same SLA targets as a “.generic”. While I can
understand the logic of that argument the current lack of categories does
not allow for that kind of differentiation.

That would be helpful.



I have difficulties reconciling the notion of ignoring categories, as it
caused no end of problems after applications were submitted and created
unnecessary delays. Where there are well-defined categories and a proven
demand, categories can be created and processes refined for that particular
category, especially where the operating model is very different to the
traditional selling /distribution to third parties.



Kind regards,



Martin

Hi Everyone:



In reading the agenda for today’s meeting, I read the spreadsheet
describing the different TLD types. (See, https://docs.google.com/
spreadsheets/d/1mA_hTUhLhJSsfcmoQwREtUqxykZ5KfJff
zJAAhEvNlA/edit#gid=1186181551).



It looks remarkably similar to a chart presented to the ICANN Board in 2010
or 2011 as the main argument for *not *adding to the categories of TLDs in
the last round because they would be problematic (read, “impossible”) to
implement.



Even in this spreadsheet, I can argue whether most of the tick marks in the
cells apply in all cases. This means that each of the many tick marks
presents a significant barrier to: (1) getting through the policy
discussion in a timely manner, and (2) a clean implementation.



Categories of TLDs have always been problematic.



The single most important lesson from the 2003-04 sponsored TLD round was
to avoid a system where delegation of domain name registries was predicated
upon satisfying criteria associated with categories.



In the last round, the Guidebook provided for two category types: community
and geographic. In my opinion, the implementation of both was problematic:
look at the variances in CPE results and the difficulty with .AFRICA. This
wasn’t just a process failure, the task itself was extremely difficult.
Just how does an evaluation panel adjudge a government approval of a TLD
application if one ministry says, ‘yes’ and the other ’no’? This sort of
issue is simple compared to evaluating community applications.



The introduction of a number of new gTLD categories with a number of
different accommodations will lead to a complex and difficult application
and evaluation process (and an expensive, complicated contractual
compliance environment). It is inevitable that the future will include
ongoing attempts to create policy for new categories as they are conceived.

For those who want a smoothly running, fair, predictable gTLD program, the
creation of categories should be avoided.



Instead, the outcome of our policy discussion could be a process that
remains flexible and can adapt to new business models as they are
developed. An exemption process to certain contractual conditions can be
created to encourage innovation while ensuring all policy goals embodied in
the RA are met. Fair and flexible agreements can be written without the
need, time and complexity of the creation of additional categories or
separate agreements.



While an exemption process sounds complex, it is not compared to the
nightmare that the new gTLD process will become: never adequately
administering to an ever-increasing number of categories.



I wrote in more depth about this ~ 6 months ago - and would be happy to
flesh out my thoughts on this again.



Best regards,



Kurt
