These are excellent questions. I have additional suggested questions, all of which pertain to 2.1. The GNSO Council has been discussing the process through which a third party (or parties) could challenge a proposed gTLD. At present, the relevant implementation guideline (8) calls for such challenges to be resolved by external dispute resolution providers. Is the GAC suggesting that third parties should, under such a system, be permitted to challenge a proposed gTLD on the ground that it violates these UDHR provisions or referenced sensitivities? If so, which third parties would be qualified to assert such a challenge? What should they be required to prove? Is there an existing entity that has the expertise to resolve a challenge based on these grounds?
