[Gnso-newgtld-wg] FW: AFRALO-AFRICANN statement - ICANN 64 Kobe, Japan

Sun Apr 14 03:33:52 UTC 2019

Dear All
I have certain doubt about the validity of thus request
Conditions and criteria to be carried forward are ambiguous and in clear
Such exception seems inappropriate the rights of others may be at stake 
We need to be fair with every  request  fir TLD /string  
Regards

None of them however can ever be allocated to ONE applicant before the “last group” (generic terms?) have applied for THEIR strings: If there is no contention with the brands and geos: GREAT! Then the already evaluated brand and geo TLDs can be contracted ASAP and go online. Thus resources are freed up for the other applicants. But contention has to be allowed to occur from ALL phases of applications.

So the day the last window closes hundreds of cities can go live. Brands seem to NEVER go “live” anyway (save .canon and a few others).

Even though Geos and Brands, the ones that asked for this so far, were perceived as the most interesting use cases of the 2012 round, and while I believe it's likely it will be the case again in the next procedure, there are so many potential clashes in the namespace that there will be always someone disgruntled by such priority. One hypothetical would be the association of apple farmers wanting .apple while Apple Computer also wanted .apple*; the AFRALO-AFRICANN letter is yet another example of this.
