Hello, I was working through various folks to try to get my comment posted. This conversation began way back on Nov. 27 and so this comment should not be too late to post.

[Comments-new-gtld-auction-proceeds-initial-08oct18] .ART Comment in Support of TLD Awareness Program
by Kurt Pritz Dec. 11, 2018

Dec. 11, 2018

The .ART Domain Registry joins other commenters and supports the .club proposal that ICANN should use a small but significant percentage of auction funds, say 15% of the total, to raise awareness about the utility, economy, reliability and safety of domain names as a way to establish a permanent, recognizable and technically competent internet presence. ICANN’s core values call on us to, “[w}here feasible and appropriate, depend on market mechanisms to promote and sustain a competitive environment in the DNS market,” and “introduc[e] and promot[e] competition in the registration of domain names where practicable and beneficial to the public interest as identified through the bottom-up, multistakeholder policy development process.” What are market mechanisms that promote competition? The first is to design the market place (e.g., the registrar accreditation program and the new gTLD program), then make your audience aware that the market exists. ICANN has spent 20 years developing the domain market place yet the extent and level of recognition is low. The new generation of internet users are not familiar with the utility of domains (as opposed to gmail addresses, apps and social media)? Even as the new gTLD program was launched, critics said, “why bother?” because domains were evidently passé. ICANN developed and launched a staggeringly complex program, 14 years in the making, to increase competition and choice for consumers and then, somewhat incomprehensively, acted in a way to bar its success by refusing to provide notice of its existence. With regard to promoting competition in the registration of domain names, the community instructed the ICANN Board and the Board instructed ICANN to launch an awareness campaign in 2011: to provide global notice of the upcoming (at that time) new gTLD program. The effort failed due to lack of funding as ICANN had yet to receive over $370,000,000 in application fees and a similar amount in auction funds. ICANN now has the wherewithal to carry out the Board mandate of 2011. It is late, but not too late to provide for the planned-for support for the use of domains. If not ICANN, then who is to take this up? What other organization has the reach, funding and core values to promote the awareness of domains? Are we not proud of what we do and our involvement to make “unique identifiers” a reliable, safe, useful tool for navigating the internet? Others promote social media platforms and apps as a way to participate on line. But don’t we (as part of ICANN) believe that domains have a unique value, where participants can safeguard their data, establish an air of technical competency, and create a permanent on-line space? If we are not for domains, what are we doing here? It seems that one either wants to promote the uptake and use of domains or wants them to die. This community spends its energies in critical self-assessment in attempting to make the DNS the perfect online environment. One can rightfully believe that our multi-stakeholder model uniquely considers market issues from all viewpoints and has policy development tools and safeguards far superior to those in other online regimes such as apps and social media. It is ok for us to be proud of our work: the market we have developed and the value that domains provide. These achievements also give rise to a public interest duty to inform the global internet-using community of the space we have created because if there is not awareness, it will fade away. Another ICANN core value is that it operates, “at a speed that is responsive to the needs of the global Internet community.” With the authority provided by its Bylaws and the actions of its community, ICANN should now finish this last task associated with its 20-year build of the domain marketplace and promote awareness of its existence and value. Sincerely, Kurt Pritz .ART Domain Registry Member, Strategic Planning

Re: [Comments-new-gtld-auction-proceeds-initial-08oct18] Initial Report of the Cross-Community Working Group on New gTLD Auction Proceeds (CCWG-AP)
by John Poole Dec. 11, 2018

Dec. 11, 2018

RE: Public Comment on Initial Report of the Cross-Community Working Group on New gTLDAuction Proceeds (CCWG-AP) <https://www.icann.org/public-comments/new-gtld-auction-proceeds-initial-201…> 1. I find ICANN's whole scheme of auctioning off new gTLDs to the "highest bidder" repugnant and a violation of the principles set out by Jon Postel in RFC 1591 and the advice given to ICANN by the U.S. Department of Justice Antitrust Division in December, 2008 (attached to a letter to ICANN from NTIA <https://www.ntia.doc.gov/files/ntia/publications/icann_081218.pdf>): "... These designated authorities are trustees for the delegated > [top-level] domain, and have a duty to serve the community. The designated > manager is the trustee of the top-level domain for ... the global Internet > community. Concerns about "rights" and "ownership" of domains are > inappropriate. It is appropriate to be concerned about "responsibilities" > and "service" to the community .... Significantly interested parties in the > domain should agree that the designated manager is the appropriate party > ... it is also appropriate for interested parties to have some voice in > selecting the designated manager ..."--Jon Postel, March, 1994, RFC 1591 > <https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1591.txt>. > > "... The [U.S. Department of Justice Antitrust] Division makes two > specific recommendations. First ICANN’s general approach to new gTLDs > should be revised to give greater consideration to consumer [registrant] > interests … Second, the RFP process and proposed registry agreement should > include provisions that would enable ICANN to constrain new registry > operators from exercising market power. In particular, ICANN should > establish competitive mechanisms for authorizing new gTLDs and renewals of > gTLD registry agreements whereby prospective gTLD operators would compete > for gTLDs by proposing registry terms – including maximum fee schedules – > that would provide consumer [registrant] benefits."--U.S. Department of > Justice Antitrust Division, Dec 3, 2008 > <https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3zjyRMTBSc7UzViS0stOWhQR3c/view?usp=shari…> > 2. Auctions (both "private" and "ICANN last resort") have corrupted ICANN and the processes for developing new gTLDs--*"it's all about the money"*--and increase costs that new gTLD registry operators can only recoup by charging registrants far more money for new gTLD domain name registrations and renewals than necessary had ICANN followed RFC1591 and the advice of the U.S. Department of Justice Antitrust Division cited above. In effect, consumers (domain name registrants) are bearing, directly and indirectly, the entire costs of *ICANN's ill-conceived, horribly implemented <https://www.domainmondo.com/2014/09/icann-insiders-on-new-gtlds-mistakes.ht…>,* and* corrupt program for new gTLDs*. 3. Adding insult to injury,* ICANN* and its "contracted parties" have engaged in "*consumer* (registrant) *fraud*" by failing to warn registrants worldwide of *new gTLDs* "failing to work as expected on the internet" <http://www.circleid.com/posts/20140207_more_problems_crop_up_universal_acce…> of which ICANN and its Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC) have been well aware since 2003. Further, ICANN has failed to inform and warn domain name registrants worldwide that *unlike the market dominant legacy gTLD .COM*, which has price controls, *new gTLDs, by design*, come with no price controls and any of ICANN's monopoly new gTLD registry operators can (and have <https://onlinedomain.com/2017/03/08/domain-name-news/frank-schilling-just-k…>) increase pricing of registration and renewal fees (by 3000% or more), from year to year. 4. I have read with interest other comments submitted by certain "contracted parties" advocating ICANN allocate the auction proceeds for a worldwide marketing campaign a/k/a "awareness campaign" for the benefit of "contracted parties" who have discovered that many consumers (registrants) don't want their "garbage extensions" that "fail to work as expected on the internet," "break stuff," and are totally untrustworthy as they have no maximum price increase caps or schedules. Should ICANN succumb to this "money grab" by "contracted parties," I will enjoy petitioning, along with others, the U.S. government's Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the California State Attorney General, and other governmental authorities, for revocation of ICANN's nonprofit, IRC 501(c)(3) status, and the imposition of other statutory penalties and remedies. 5. In lieu of the contracted parties' proposed "money grab" above and all other third parties' already proposed, or yet to come, "money grabs," ICANN should instead end this entire repulsive and tawdry "money grab" stampede, and announce it will set aside ALL of the auction proceeds for the benefit domain name registrants who have, indirectly, provided these funds, by: a) ICANN conducting continuous worldwide "awareness campaigns" to warn all domain name registrants, all prospective registrants, and all other consumers, about the *new gTLDs* "failing to work as expected on the internet <http://www.circleid.com/posts/20140207_more_problems_crop_up_universal_acce…>" and the* lack of consumer protection in new gTLDs *against price gouging, exorbitant price increases, and total lack of price caps and controls, unlike the market dominant gTLD .COM domain names; b) setting up a restitution fund for consumers (registrants) worldwide who have claims as a result of the aforementioned "consumer fraud;" c) funding research, and continuously publishing the results via notices on the "home" and "landing" pages of all ICANN-accredited registrars, ICANN.org, and newgTLDs.icann.org,, ranking all new gTLDs by "usability,"* i.e.,*testing all new gTLDs in comparison against gTLD .COM, to determine the extent to which each new gTLD "fails to work as expected on the internet <http://www.circleid.com/posts/20140207_more_problems_crop_up_universal_acce…>", along with wholesale pricing information and other pricing disclosures already mentioned, so that ALL consumers (registrants) can make "informed decisions" in deciding whether, or which, gTLD to select, in registering a domain name; d) funding ALL of the continuous data collection and surveys recommended in the Competition, Consumer Trust, and Consumer Choice Review Team (CCT) Final Report & Recommendations <https://www.icann.org/public-comments/cct-final-recs-2018-10-08-en>, and other continuous data collection and surveys as may be appropriate. 6. Disclosure: I have neither monetary claims nor pecuniary interests (individually or otherwise) related to providing any of the services suggested above. Respectfully submitted, John Poole, gTLD domain name registrant and *Editor, *DomainMondo.com <https://www.domainmondo.com/2018/12/news-review-verisign-vrsn-new-gtld-web.…> cc: ICANN Chairman Cherine Chalaby, ICANN CEO Goran Marby, ICANN GDD Cyrus Namazi, NTIA (David Redl), FTC, US Department of Justice Antitrust Division
