[Gnso-newgtld-wg] 1.9 - Community Applications

[Jamie Baxter]

Dear Working Group members,

 

A few additional items not contained in the deliberation section of
Community Applications that were raised in the WT3 discussions.

 

1.     Concerns about processes described in the AGB and the CPE Guidelines
that were not adhered to by the CPE Providers, or were not adhered to as
strictly as the language provided for in published materials:

a.     Verification of support/opposition letters - all were to require
verified, many were not verified without reason

b.     Party responsible for verification letters - was described by the CPE
Provider in their own guidelines as a responsibility of one of the two CPE
panelists, but actually done by CPE support staff

2.     Concerns about the lack of oversight during CPE which resulted in
poor performance of the CPE Providers:

a.     Verification emails were sent to endorsing organizations that
contained response date requirements that had already expired. When reported
to ICANN, no email correction was sent to the effected parties and ICANN
instructed applicant to carry the burden of informing endorsing
organizations to respond to emails anyway, despite the expired due date

b.     CPE Providers falling short on letter verification duties 

 

I believe these are important points to include from our deliberations given
that every applicant should at minimum feel assured that their application
is be handled with the utmost care and respect for the described procedures,
without exception or alternative interpretation. Otherwise the words of the
published materials mean nothing, lacking predictability and transparency. 

 

Much thanks

Jamie
