<p class="MsoNormal">Implementation Guidance 29.3: To the extent possible, ICANN should seek to identify high-risk strings in advance of opening the Application Submission Period, which should constitute a “Do Not Apply” list. ICANN should also seek to identify
aggravated risk strings in advance of the next application window opening and whether it would require a specific name collision mitigation framework.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We (NCAP) have talked quite a bit about the difficulties of an a-priori collisions “Do Not Apply” list. I “think” we are all in agreement that such a list cannot be produced, however such assumptions are dangerous. I looked in Study 1 and
the draft of Study 2 and they are both, surprisingly, silent on the NCAP position on “Do Not Apply.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is there consensus that NCAP will state that a-priori “Do Not Apply" is not possible? If so, this should be included in Study 2. If not, uhm, add it to the discussion list.<o:p></o:p></p>
