At that time, 17 years ago, John Klensin submitted this 'informational' text as 'reflexions' in his 'personal capacity'. In the interim, ICANN has taken several decisions which - for better or worse – depart from the advice of RFC 3071. We have move on. > Granted that there are sometimes several meanings for certain words in English, and probably in other languages as well, but this fact does not justify ignoring relevant prior rights, not least for brands and geographical names. Bearing in mind that the latter have usually been present long before the former’s associated usage of the same same string. > > In any event, ICANN would, as before, have to deal with potential conflicts between strings with more than one meaning, including several geographical names among themselves. Meanwhile, a significant proportion of geographical names do not experience multiple uses – even in English. > > I am sure that the question of multiple uses can be resolved and need not become a 'driver' of the eventual policy for geographical names. > Regarding GNSO and gTLDs, it is indeed instructive to learn that all sorts of 'purpose specific' TLDs have been subsumed into the G* concept within GNSO. > > For present purposes, so be it. > > But in that case, I would also argue - by analogy with brands – that geographical names should benefit from protection in the interest of predictability and transparency for individual users, in the locations, economies and communities concerned. > Regards to you all > CW >>> >>> >>> 2018-03-26 6:54 GMT+01:00 Greg Shatan <gregshatanipc(a)gmail.com <mailto:gregshatanipc@gmail.com>>: >>> With regard to point 3 ("Geographical names are not Generic in the usual semantic or, indeed, ICANN sense. Nearly all of those names are specific to places, cultures, regions, communities and their local economies. The fact that GNSO has taken the lead in the PDP WT5, does not diminish in any way the specific characteristics of geo-names."): >>> >>> We should avoid getting drawn into a policy conflict disguised as a semantic argument. The term "generic" as used in "generic TLDs" has long since departed from any "semantic" meaning of generic. Even as far back as 2001, RFC 3071 recognized that "generic" was ambiguous when applied to gTLDs, whic could be "generic" as in "purpose neutral" or "unbranded and open for use in any way" or "generic" as in "purpose-specific" or "related to a particular genus of registrants." As a result of the 2012 New gTLD round, we now have hundreds of gTLDs that are .Brands. Brands are conceptually and semantically the opposite of generic. We have dozens of TLDs being used as "geo-names." We also have many that are "purpose specific" and many that are open to use by all without any type of "genus" implied or expressed. I'm sure there are other types and distinctions to be made, but ultimately these are all gTLDs. >>> >>> The same word or string can have multiple meanings. In numerous cases, the same string could be delegated and used as a generic, purpose-specific, .Brand or geo-name gTLD, depending on the applicant's plans. We need to be conservative with the idea that a string or word is inherently one thing or another. For instance, "tours" could be a .brand, a geo-name, a purpose-specific gTLD or even a purpose-neutral gTLD. >>> >>> The GNSO's role here is not one where it has "taken the lead" as a free-floating "fact" but one where it has that responsibility as a matter of ICANN policy. In that vein, this is not "PDP WT5"; this is a "work track" within a GNSO Policy Development Process Working Group. The GNSO is a task-based entity, with that task being to manage the process of developing the policy recommendations for gTLDs. Anyone can participate in that process. It is irrelevant whether they are a member of (or a stakeholder represented by) any GNSO Stakeholder Group or Constituency. >>> >>> That is not to say this is the only possible way in which ICANN could have been or could be constituted. Before there was a GNSO and a ccNSO, there was a DNSO, which "advise[d] the ICANN Board on policy issues relating to the domain name system (DNS) -- the system of names commonly used to identify Internet locations and resources." Some body could decide to re-imagine this structure yet -- reconsider what is a gTLD and what is a ccTLD (perhaps based on use and purpose than on the ISO 3166 two-letter list), and whether other categories should be recognized aside from these two. But this body is not that body. And this body has enough complexities and distractions to complicate and delay our work without getting into existential debates -- especially those that are firmly outside our remit. >>> >>> It might be interesting to establish an unchartered discussion group to have those existential debates. However, it is the farthest thing from interesting (not to mention, productive) to turn this Work Track into that discussion group. I strongly encourage us not to get drawn down that rabbit-hole, which is in fact a rabbit-warren with a multitude of holes. >>> >>> Greg >>> >>> On Sun, Mar 25, 2018 at 3:14 PM, Javier Rua <javrua(a)gmail.com <mailto:javrua@gmail.com>> wrote: >>> Thanks Christopher. >>> >>> Javier Rúa-Jovet >>> >>> +1-787-396-6511 <tel:(787)%20396-6511> >>> twitter: @javrua >>> skype: javier.rua1 >>> https://www.linkedin.com/in/javrua <https://www.linkedin.com/in/javrua> >>> >>> >>> On Mar 25, 2018, at 3:12 PM, "lists(a)christopherwilkinson.eu <mailto:lists@christopherwilkinson.eu>" <lists(a)christopherwilkinson.eu <mailto:lists@christopherwilkinson.eu>> wrote: >>> >>>>> >>>>> >>>>> Dear WT5 Participants: >>>>> >>>>> Further to the Wt5 meeting in San Juan on 14 March, this is just to recall the main points that I made during that discussion. >>>>> >>>>> 1.

I suggested that WT5 would save time by discontinuing discussion about ISO 3166. That is an international standard for codes and names representing countries and their subdivisions.

It is also not advisable to pursue the idea that the 2012 Applicant Guide Book (AGB) definition of geo-names is a relevant ‘default’. That text failed to address several classes of names that are of significant interest to user communities, a lacunae which gave rise to several disagreements and delays last time around. That should be corrected for the next round, as unambiguously as possible, in the interests of transparency and predictability for the individual users in the locations concerned. >>>>> >>>>> In that context, I regret that the WT5 Terms of Reference do not address those issues explicitly.
