BC,
Attached is the first draft of the CBUC position statement
for the Baseline Registry Operation report released by ICANN. Overall, I feel KPMG performed well and
provided meaningful views of the data.
It is ashamed that more participants were not a part of the sample data.
My Registry operations experience is limited, so I ask the
BC team to take a strong look at the report and the initial comments I
provided. I especially invite our
members that have direct Registry operations experience to enhance our position
about this study and its future use by the gTLD Evaluation teams. This material is sure to have a direct
impact to the next Draft Applicant Guidebook version 4 to be released just
prior to Brussels. In a quick
review, the following are what I believe to be sections of the DAGv3 where this
study could influence the Application Evaluation Criteria, or the Application
Process both of which will be used by the gTLD Evaluation teams.
1.2.2 Required Documents for Application
1.4.2 Application Form
2.1.2 Applicant Reviews
2.1.3 Registry Services Review
2.2.1 Technical/Operational or Financial Extended Evaluation
2.2.2 DNS Stability Extended Evaluation
2.2.3 Registry Services Extended Evaluation
The comment period closes April 1st, so I ask for your quick turn-around. As Steve DelBianco eluded to in our last
BC call, there are a large number of comment period closings converging at
once. I thank you for your quick response. I will compile all feedback and
incorporate changes on 3/30/2010.
