Thank you for sharing this with the
members, Martin.
Two comments:
(1) taking into consideration your comments about who from brands will
be in attendance in BJ, it seems even more important to send invite letters to
all brand TLD applicants to see if we can encourage more participation in ICANN
rather than have their consultants act as middlemen. I have nothing
against consultants doing their job, but it is clearly better to have the
principals in the room rather than their filters if ICANN is going to expand
its mindshare in the business sector; and
(2) your RA submission to ICANN was enlightening to read as it brought
new information to light that I had not considered. Getting this kind of
input from the broader group of .BRAND applicants would be very valuable to the
community. Can we look to you to evangelize the need of the rest of the
business community to hear and learn more from our applicant brethren?
Kind regards,
RA

Ron,
For
many of the .brand applicants, ICANN and the gTLD programme (still) represents
an insignificant part of their overall business. Hence, many applicants
will expect their consultants to cover the ICANN chores, rather than be present
themselves.
Nevertheless,
I would hope that those applicants based closer to
As
you know, I am an applicant for .hsbc and have been engaging with other .brand
applicants to identify ways to ensure that our interests are represented within
the ICANN structure going forward. I would be happy to facilitate a discussion
with the BC on .brand perspectives with those that will be available in

Thanks for the prompt reply, Elisa.
Considering that there are 637 brand TLD applications, one
would think that all (or a majority of them) would be showing up at an ICANN
meeting, so I am somewhat surprised that you are aware of only a few
attending… Perhaps, as Chair, you could work with our Secretariat to send
invitations out to all of them? That outreach could have a tangential
benefit insomuch as the invitees may also be potential BC members. We
have some six weeks or so before the meeting, why not go for it?
Regarding the webinar suggestion, I am a strong believer of
face-to-face meetings whenever possible so my first vote goes there. If
we do go the webinar route, I would recommend a new title: A New Era for
Business on the Internet: Informing and Educating about .BRANDs.
Hope that this helps move this discussion forward.
Kind regards,

Ron,
I am on the call – but will only be
able to attend the first 60 minutes. The call will be recorded and transcribed
for those unable to attend.
Regarding your separate comment - I would be

Good
morning all.
Just
sending a note to the list to inquire as to how many BC members will be on the
Registry call that is starting now? Perhaps our Secretriat could pull
together a list for everyone’s benefit?
Separately,
in preparation for this call I was going through the filings and came to
realize (again) that that there are 637 .BRANDS from the 1900. Many of
them are brands we know and some are BC members. Others we don’t
know…
Question
for the Ex Com: Would it not make sense to invite the .BRANDS to come to
meet the BC in
It
seems to me that BC members would benefit greatly from meeting with businesses
that are applying for top-level domains.
My two
cents.
Kind

RA
