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?

Here are some
additional questions regarding the GAC priniciples about new gTLDs that
could be considered for our session with the GAC this coming Monday
morning.
