[Gnso-newgtld-wg] 8th Topical E-mail: Selection of CPE Provider

Fri Dec 4 19:15:01 UTC 2020

Dear Jeff:  Thankyou for your quick reply.

1.  Regarding your compromise proposal, emphasising criteria rather than appointments, I  grant that would be an improvement, but I would defer at this stage to At Large members who have had more direct experience of CPE. My main points being to prevent repeating the errors of the past and to retain the option of more than one 'vendor' to accommodate the potential diversity among community applicants.

More generally, I do not see what changes ICANN.org has made since 2012 in this, and other, contexts.

2.  I don't accept your appeal to the 'muilti-stakeholder model' in this context. 

(a) the whole PDP has been biassed by the 'default' to the 2007 GNSO 'policy' and the 2012 AGB, arising at the time from a completely different stakeholder composition of the ICANN community than today..

(b)  within the PDP there has been a strong bias towards the interests of the incumbent Registries and Registrars, present, making it very difficult to amend the 2012 AGB to favour greater openness, diversity and competition.

That is not my idea of a multi-stakeholder model.

Regards

CW

That is one of the purposes of the multi-stakeholder model.  The compromise proposal that we believe can get the most support is involving the community in the development of the selection/evaluation criteria as well as in the legal terms that relate to the CPE process.  But ICANN as an organization needs to have some flexibility to act and look out for the corporation as a whole.  It is ICANN Org that will have to manage their vendor, pay their vendor, etc.

Giving the community involvement in the selection/evaluation criteria development is much better than the status quo, correct?

If you do have a big issue with the responses to these (all of which were previously discussed and in emails over the past 1.5 months), please let us know ASAP.  Only comments that provide the rationale for the objection with proposed replacement text to address the specific outstanding questions will now be considered.

In addition, any terms included in the contract between ICANN Org and the CPE Provider regarding the CPE process must be subject to public comment.”
