I assume ‘brands’ are included in the 88%; it doesn’t take into account regional diversity and while I admit that wasn’t terrific you’d have to say the applications from Asia Pacific and Europe were encouraging; we should also factor into the equation some of the innovative ways the TLDs are being used and the different business models being applied. So I think when we talk about diversity we should go deeper than the categories you’ve identified. Personally, I don’t think the vanilla nature of this round was necessarily a bad thing.

(Note I excluded 17 community applications that were brands e.g. .bugatti, with apologies to Bugatti owners.) Whether the low diversity is appropriate or not is something we should discuss remaining neutral on, but the fact remains there were four options in the AGB: Community, Geographic, IDN and Standard and almost 90% were of one type. In other words, this was unequivocally not a diverse application round in terms of types of applications.

We will try our best to do the document clean up, but of course will run everything by the group to make sure that we got it right (or not).

I want to reiterate my discomfort with the increasing tend, seen again in this group, of chairs taking control of the content and taking the pen in a relative opaque manner. In this case we have 2 people who I like and trust as people (a purely subjective statement), but none of whom have non-commercial, community applicant not user points of view (possibly an objective statement). I guess I will have to wait to see how it all works out. And hope. avri On 24-Apr-15 14:30, Steve Chan wrote: Dear DG Members, Please find the agenda for the upcoming DG call below.
