PS: It is possible that Canon’s announcement that they will seek
“Canon” as a TLD, may drastically change the projected volumes. I suspect that their direct competitors will
have to look hard at how they respond. Then
you could have the ripple effect setting in…

I don’t think we are in major disagreement.
I wasn’t online for Nairobi and haven’t reviewed Kurt’s
presentation. A gated process was one
option to jump-start TLD registration.
If they can handle the volume they expect, then we need to continue on
that path; my impressions from Seoul and between was that they really didn’t
know what volume they could process reasonably thus I continued to look at the
option for a gated process to start the TLDs.
I just want to see some way for us to start accepting and
processing applications as soon as possible.
Nothing ever solves problems as well as forcing your operations staff to
inititate new processes/capabilities; until they have to deal with it daily as
a routine event, it is a mental exercise.
Take care

Terry,
I am dead against a “gated process” at
this late stage. If the GNSO Council wanted that it should have considered them
in the original recommendations.
We are close enough now where staff have
made the appropriate contingencies to handle the projected volume as described
by Kurt in Nairobi. Changing this now (like the EOI process) will create more
problems than it solves. I do not even consider that we debate it.
This approach would therefore encompass
NOT allowing for “disadvantaged” applicants to be carved out – which I am lead
to believe is NOT the purpose nor one of the possible outcomes of the Support
WG anyway.
Thanks.

Council
I’m going to be a bit cross-wise here.
To be honest, I’d rather see us working on a “gated process” to
begin moving TLD applications forward, even if it is only going to be 1 or 2
per month. Until we start accepting and processing the TLD applications,
we have no real idea what requirements for staff and the associated timelines
will be. Getting the application process moving seems key to me…
Working on yet another set of processes that will take
considerable time to sort out for “dis-advantage” (meaning is open to me
anyway) applicants would only seem to add to the initial opening of the TLD
process. ??
Just my thoughts, please feel free to return other
options/opinions; I’m very interested in hearing them.
Take care
Terry

I am not sure that helps the discussion.
It is frustrating as a councillor and
professional with limited time to have to keep poking...
Can you please elaborate as to why this
is not a friendly amendment.
