Steve, all

 

My apologies for missing the call on Tuesday, but I have listened to the call and reviewed the documents in your email.

 

I support the documents as drafted; however, I’m not sure that an issue I raised on the list, and subsequently on the recent GNSO Council call, about whether any consideration will be given to the disparity that may result between registry operators from this round and future rounds as a result of substantive changes being made to the program? I have drafted possible language for consideration by the DG for inclusion in the Charter. I do believe this is an important issue flagged to have identified in the Charter.

 

"The WG, during its deliberations, should keep in mind that making substantive changes to the New gTLD Program may result in significant differences between registries from the 2012 round and future rounds. Where significant differences are identified, the WG should discuss the benefits to be realised from recommended changes against any possible negative impacts, such as creating an uneven playing field.”

 

 

Thanks,

 

Donna

Subject: [Gnso-newgtld-dg] - Draft Final Deliverables

 

Dear DG Members,

 

For those that were able to join today’s call, thank you for your participation and feedback. I have incorporated the changes discussed on the call, which includes adding specific draft text to the charter related to the global public interest and compliance. I’ve also integrated recent feedback received to the email list. The executive summary, matrix, and charter have been combined in the single attached document with all changes accepted, and I have added some elements to make the draft more formal.

 

Here is a link to the various iterations of the drafts on the Wiki: https://community.icann.org/display/DGNGSR/DRAFT+Deliverables. You will find this latest document at the very top of the page underneath the heading DRAFT Full Deliverables. Please share with your respective groups for their review and feedback if applicable and note, the co-chairs hope to have all comments/suggestions received by 5 June 2015 at the latest. 

• If after reviewing, you cannot agree to the document as drafted (or simply want to suggest a change), the co-chairs request that you inform the group via the email list as soon as your are able. 
• If you agree with the document, no action is required, although you are free to and encouraged to note your agreement on the list.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

 

Best,
