Hi, Barrack,

Thank you for asking.  If you look into the CCT-RT report, it will clearly show that the gTLD market is already saturated.  As a mater of fact, well over half of the new gTLDs are being parked, i.e., not being used, but mostly for speculation. 

Regarding Africa, and the global South in general, I don't think the problem is a lack of supply.  That is, the economic and social status makes the demand relatively weak, and maybe also lack of necessary skills, to apply for and run gTLDs.  Thus, instead of supplying more new gTLDs, ICANN should provide assistance to Africa and the global South for that.

Thanks again.

Kaili

Hi Kaili,

Could you expound on the statement that the new gTLD market is already saturated? How did you arrive at this conclusion. We are working hard through dnsforum.africa to grow the market in Africa and would be keen on new perspectives.

Regards

Yes, this seems to be ignoring our opinions expressed.

However, as the gTLD market is already over-saturated, I believe the results of another round will work against those who are pushing for it.  Thus, after saying what should be said, we may just wait and see ...    ALAC will be be blamed anyway.

Also, if there is going to be another CCT-RT for that round, I would gladly volunteer for it.   : )

Indeed:

1. The ICANN working paper ignores several key points that have been raised in the PDP, by ALAC, and in the meetings in ICANN65.

2.  The Circle ID article by the CEO of Cum Laude, presumably is an embarrassment to the PDP CoChairs.
