Steve, all

I have a question regarding ‘Variable fees’ the last dot point under Group 1 of the Charter. Does that refer to Application Fees or fees in the registry agreement?

Thanks

Donna

All,

I have made the following updates to the draft charter:

Incorporated the suggestion from Donna Austin from 27 May
Made the change suggested by Philip Sheppard and the BRG, although I made it far more general because as Philip noted, the set of circumstances described would not be limited to just .brands.
Regarding the comments from Thomas Lowenhaupt, I did not make a change in the charter, but instead made a change in the matrix, where I included a link to Thomas’ Wiki post about Informed Consent, so that it can be considered in full by a possible WG.

The latest versions are attached and also available on the Wiki: https://community.icann.org/display/DGNGSR/DRAFT+Deliverables. If there are any disagreements with how the items have been captured, do of course let me know and I’ll be happy to update.

When we reach the finish line, I’ll once again integrate the DG's three documents into a single, clean document.

Best,

Steve

Steve, Jeff, Bret,

a BRG member has made this suggestion which I think could be wider than just .brands. Could you agree to add it to the Charter maybe in Section II, Group 1, around the bullet "Different TLD Types? Feel free to turn the text into the style of the Charter.

Application by a previous applicant

In case a (.brand) RO (from the first round) applies for another (.brand) gTLD in the subsequent application window, certain requirements of the application could be shortened, reduced of even omitted (e.g., financial, technical, administrative, etc.) in case such RO is duly fulfilling its current RA and running its (.brand) gTLD. It seems some time could be saved during the application process if ICANN validates most of the the RO information.
