I have to agree with Evan, Carlton and Rinalia. What I am reading between the lines is a rant by people who spent lots of money and feel entitled, therefore, to the name. The 'community', therefore, is simply a roadblock, something to belittle. And the real problem, as ALAC has pointed out, is that there isn't the rigour and consistency there should be - with the ruling on com/cam as the best example (and the confusing rulings on plurals a close second). It's beginning to feel as if the whole new gTLD process is rapidly going WAY off the rails. Holly On 27/09/2013, at 6:10 AM, Evan Leibovitch wrote:
I would note, from reading the letter from these applicants, that the perceived flaws of the system are, in this case at least, working in favour of the public interest.
Reading the letter, it seems that the applicants are taking to task (what is in their opinion) an overly broad interpretation of the term "community", and wish to dismiss the objections by belittling the objectors' status. They go so far as to characterize two (IMO reasonable) GAC early warnings as "outrageous".
If this is the way the Experts will be operating -- erring on the side of public interest when AGB lacks clarity, and recognizing the more-absurd constraints on ICANN's definition of "community" -- I'm OK with that.

Thanks, Dev. This is exactly the kins of problem we don't want to have with the CPE by not having properly trained evaluators regarding "community". No reason why the NGPC can't understand why we are concerned after receiving this type of correspondence.

Wow!
