Patrick -------- Original Message -------- [eoi-wg] Final report and charter Tue, 17 Nov 2009 19:28:23 -0500 Antony Van Couvering Expression of Interest Working group Expression of Interest Working group Hi everyone, At about the same time you receive this, I will have posted to the EOI comment area our final report and charter. As I noted before, I've tried to capture input from all of our members, as well as from those who participated on our list or on our calls. If I have mischaracterized anyone's input, or left something out, I urge you to make corrections and emendations in the ICANN comment area at http://icann.org/en/public-comment/#eoi-new-gtlds [1] or by just sending an email to eoi-new-gtlds(a)icann.org [2]. I further urge each and every member to submit separate comments to ICANN. I would like to thank everyone for making time to help out, and I'd like to thank especially Patrick Vande Walle for providing a mail list for our use. Archives may be found at http://lists.pra.im/pipermail/eoi-wg/ [3] I would like to ask Patrick to close the mailing list now --- and with that, our work is done.

Re: [At-Large] [ALAC] Fwd: Expressions of Interest Working Group
by Patrick Vande Walle Nov. 16, 2009

Nov. 16, 2009

Actually, we are both right. Before the first call, there was a willingness to work with a small group with a good balance between all parties, in the hope that it would be easier to find consensus. This is what I reported. However, during and after the call, some people asked for colleagues to be included. There are now 21 people in the WG, up from 15 originally. I still have other subscription requests pending for the mailing list. My concern is that I am not sure this will help getting the job done faster, better or if it will be the opposite.

Fwd: [eoi-wg] Documents for call Nov 13 2009
by Patrick Vande Walle Nov. 13, 2009

Nov. 13, 2009

FYI and reaction. Please find appended the minutes of Monday's meeting, and also the revised plan and WG charter. The WG charter makes it clear that the participants act in a personal capacity. The revised plan should answer some of the questions Evan was asking regarding the goal of this exercise. The revised plan suggests that this "expression of interest" should actually be named "application, stage one". The main reason being that it may put ICANN in a difficult legal position IF it said that only those participating in the EOI would be apply to apply. I tend to agree with that. Again, we have to keep in mind that some players will find any possible way to challenge the process. Regarding the fee (or deposit) the figure mentioned is $55,000 , refundable at ICANN's discretion. I personally disagree that "The Fee is sufficiently small not to constitute an undue burden on less well-funded potential applicants". For many smaller communities in less wealthy countries, that may be too high at this initial stage, keeping in mind that the goal of having an EOI period or a pre-application period is to allow those applicants to raise funding from their stakeholders. As usual your comments are welcome. The next call is tonight (European time, noon US EST).
