[Gnso-newgtld-wg] New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG - Initial Report

[Rubens Kuhl]

Anne,

I'll skip non WT4 themes since they have already been or will be addressed by others.

> 2.       Disclosure of New Services at the Time of Application.  Regarding the portion of the draft report that deals with disclosure of new services at the time of application,  Question 23 of the existing application requires that all new services proposed be described, including any security and stability issues that may be associated with that.   The initial draft report skipped over this issue that was clearly raised in Work Track 4 and talked about the flexibility to propose new services either at the application stage or later on in the RSEP process (even if known at the time of application).    As mentioned, there are “trade-offs” here in relation to opportunities for Objections and Evaluations and these should be highlighted for public comment.

Actually, it is quite the opposite. What is said there is that applicants would be able to disclose services at application time even if not submitting them to evaluation, increasing opportunity for Objections.

> 3.       Aggregated Technical and Financial Evaluations.   There was discussion in Work Track 4 about not putting applications that propose new and innovative services at a disadvantage as to timing of contract award based on the fact that these could not be processed as quickly.  The purpose of the new gTLD program is innovation.  Again, there are “trade-offs” here.   This question falls into the category of items as to which there has been no coordination among the Work Tracks.  While this may not have been the responsibility of Work Track 4 per se, that does not mean it is not a concern and does not mean it was not discussed.  I am not the only person in the Work Track who mentioned this problem.

There is a fundamental difference between evaluation processing and results publishing. WT4 only addressed the first part; if a result is ready but due to the application sequencing it's publishing is not yet timely, then it won't be published. The process is not meant to be a waterfall, but a series of parallel efforts that have some control points, and any fairness issue is address at those control points.
