Hello All, I captured the following portion of Meredith Atwell Baker's speech for information: ... following areas of concern with the new gTLD process that need careful and thoughtful consideration and resolution prior to moving forward: (1) Impact of potential changes to the registrar/registrar marketplace to allow for vertical integration; (2) Expanding the marketplace before having effective and meaningful tools to protect consumers and brand owners; (3) demonstrating ICANN has sufficient capacity to enforce contract compliance with, as yet, an unknown number of new contracts; (4) the fee structure, the possible use of auctions and the disposition of excess revenue given ICANN's status as a non-profit; (5) and appropriate mechanisms to address dispute resolution, including the very delicate issues of morality and public order.
