Here are the reasons in more detail as to why I cannot accept the amendments as friendly. The provisions added are in italics, and my comments are in ALL CAPS below Wolf’s added provisions: e) Discuss and propose methods for coordinating any assistance volunteered by providers (consultants, translators, technicians, etc.); match services to qualified applicants; broker these relationships and review the operational quality of the relationship. THIS CONCEPT WAS COVERED ALREADY IN MY (E) WHICH STATES: “e) Propose methods for applicants to seek out assistance from other top-level domain consultants, translators, and technicians, in the application for, and administration of, a new top-level domain)”. THE RYSG AND RRSG DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THIS GROUP HAS THE EXPERTISE, KNOWLEDGE OR EXPERIENCE TO “MATCH SERVICES TO QUALIFIED APPLICANTS”, NOR IS IT APPROPRIATE FOR THIS WORKING GROUP TO “BROKER THESE RELATIONSHIPS AND REVIEW THE OPERATIONAL QUALITY OF THE RELATIONSHIP.” f) Propose methods for coordinating cooperation among qualified applicants, and assistance volunteered by third parties. THIS IS SEEMINGLY COVERED BY MY PROPOSED (E) TO THE EXTENT IN SCOPE. g) In cooperation with ICANN Staff and donor experts propose policies and practices for fundraising and for establishing links to possible donor agencies. This activity may include assisting in the establishment of initial relationships with any donor(s) who may be able to help in first round with funding THIS AGAIN SEEMS TO EXPAND THE SCOPE OF THIS WORKING GROUP TO “ESTABLISH LINKS TO DONOR AGENCIES AND ASSISTING IN THE ESTABLISHMENT OF INITIAL RELATIONSHIPS. HOW IS THIS A POLICY ACTIVITY? h) Review the basis of the US$100,000 application base fee to determine its full origin and to propose a percentage of that fee could be waived for applicants meeting the requirements for assistance. Work with the ICANN new gTLD implementation staff to determine how the fee waivers would be accommodated. ICANN HAS ALREADY PROVIDED SUBSTANTIAL DOCUMENTATION AS TO WHERE THIS FEE HAS BEEN DERIVED AND SOLICITED COMMENTS THROUGH AT LEAST FIVE ROUNDS OF COMMENTS ALREADY ON THIS. THE LAST SENTENCE “WORK WITH THE ICANN NEW GTLD IMPLEMENTATION TO DETERMINE HOW THE FEE WAIVERS WOULD BE ACCOMMODATED”. THIS ALSO DOES NOT SEEM TO US TO BE A POLICY ISSUE AND THEREFORE BEYOND THE SCOPE OF THE GNSO. i) Design mechanisms to encourage the build out of Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) in small or underserved languages. THIS LAST ONE IS STILL UNDER DISCUSSION WITH THE RYSG AND A FORM OF THIS WE (THE RYSG) COULD CONSIDER ADDING AS A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT. ALTHOUGH THE RYSG CERTAINLY IS NOT AGAINST ENCOURAGING THE BUILD OUT OF IDNS, THE QUESTION WAS WHETHER THIS WAS AN APPROPRIATE ACTIVITY OF A GNSO-SPONSORED GROUP. OTHERS IN THE RYSG FEEL LIKE THERE MAY BE SOME MIDDLE GROUND HERE AND WE ARE THEREFORE WORKING ON IT. I hope that helps explain my thinking with respect to Wolf’s proposed amendments. Thanks.
