Draft for comment on geoTLD by Annette:
Hi Annette, if we want to say something on new gTLDs, it'd better be something more focused on specific recommendations (y'all read the document, right?). If I get it well, your objective is to promote geoTLDs and in general non-profit TLDs having social/cultural purposes - if that's the purpose, I suggest that some things we might want to say are: - in recommendations 7-8, technical, financial and operational criteria that are required to applicants should be kept to a bare minimum, and proportionate to the intended size and type of the TLD. It should also be recognized as objective that of promoting the creation of registry operations in developing countries and in other parts of the world, even if this implies that these new registries will initially be less reliable than their existing counterparts. - recommendation 19 should be amended so that small scale TLDs aren't obliged to deploy .com-scale technical and commercial procedures to interface with hundreds of ICANN accredited registrars around the world. The requirement to support all accredited registrars must be kept for global, commercial oriented TLDs, but should be dropped for TLDs with less than 50'000-100'000 registrations, or in TLDs where there is no need for registration intermediaries (for example, those reserved to accredited members of an organization which is sponsoring the registry).
