All, Here is the long awaited IPC response (sorry it took so long to herd the cats): ________________________________________ “The IPC believes that all of the following reviews should be completed prior to the opening of the next new gTLD application window: Rights Protection Mechanism Phase 1 New gTLD Subsequent Procedures SSR Review CCT Review Several in our number also believe that Rights Protection Mechanism Phase 2 should be completed prior to the next round. Some IPC members also believe there are elements of WS2 which should be completed first." _____________________________________________ I'm looking forward to further discussion on the list and in our next call.

The question is not if but how and when there will be a next round. Policy decisions regarding the last round all have the assumption that there shall be a next round baked into them. If we want to change that or have a discussion whether or not there should be a next round, we first need to change all those prior policy decisions. Even the subsequent rounds WG currently ongoing is not focussed on considering the IF but rather on the question of HOW. There are studies that have to happen before there can be a next round, and there will likely be changes from how the last round was handled based on the learnings of that round, but the community has committed to this process.

Wolf-Ulrich,
1. Both the letter from the Board and the letter from the GNSO Council seem to start with the assumption that there will necessarily be a subsequent round of the new gTLD program. The ISPCP constituency hopes that a full discussion about whether or not to have a further round is had by the community long before work is done on building a new application process. It seems essential that the marketplace and technical reviews are complete and considered by the community. These need to be part of the foundation of any discussion of whether or not to proceed with subsequent rounds of new gTLD applications. Indeed. I am concerned about the way a lot of people seem to assume a subsequent round will happen. I feel we have to wait for the results of the reviews before making up our minds.
The original policy actually defined that it wouldn't be a one-time event or an experimental process... it was defined as recurring and in rounds. The implementation foresaw a new round happening one year after the 2012-round, and it's possible that some parties factored that into their decision to apply or not...
... whether this was wise or not is up for discussion in two workgroups and two review efforts (besides ones already completed. In the particular question "should new subsequent procedures happen", consensus has already been achieved on them to happen, so in this case both existing policy and prospective policy are on the same page.
