Dev, without commenting on the substance of these recommendations, I really want to commend you on the effort and care you have put into this process. Alan At 16/02/2013 04:30 PM, Dev Anand Teelucksingh wrote:

Members of the new gTLD Review Group (gTLD RG) considered the comments from the At-Large community as of February 8 2013 regarding the applications for

.amazon (https://community.icann.org/x/dAFlAg), .patagonia (https://community.icann.org/x/fgFlAg) .health (https://community.icann.org/x/0wZlAg) .nyc (https://community.icann.org/x/CYJEAg)

None of the applications raised any limited public interest concerns (https://community.icann.org/x/QAkQAg)

gTLD RG members ranked each factor of the four tests for community objection grounds ((https://community.icann.org/x/QgkQAg) based on the comments and discussions. Based on these rankings, the following are the decisions by the gTLD RG:

Re: .amazon (https://community.icann.org/x/dAFlAg): There will be no drafting of an objection statement on community grounds for the application for .amazon given that the "detriment" test for community objection grounds was not passed.

Re: .patagonia (https://community.icann.org/x/fgFlAg) There will be no drafting of an objection statement on community grounds for the application for .patagonia given that the "targeting" and "detriment" tests for community objection grounds were not passed.

Re: .health (https://community.icann.org/x/0wZlAg) Objection statements on community grounds will be drafted for the applications for .health given that the four tests for community objection grounds were passed. The gTLD RG will attempt to put together the objection statements to the applications for .health in time for RALO review around 22 February 2013.

Re: .nyc There will be no drafting of an objection statement on community grounds for the application for .nyc given the comments received as on February 8 2013 indicated that the initial objection concerns raised were being addressed. A late comment sent to the gTLD RG on 11 February 2013 was treated by the gTLD RG as being submitted too late for consideration.
