Dear All,
I am reaching out in advance of next week's meeting in order to get the discussion
started on what we were unable to finish in the last meeting.
Topic: Terms and Conditions for Applying for a TLD
Previously, Paul McGrady kindly noted that WT2 should cover the Terms and
Conditions for Applying for a TLD. I note there has been support for this from Jeff
Neuman as well as others. In order to consider fully what is in our scope, I wanted
to begin utilizing our communication tools and engage discussion on this topic.
So we could have a better understanding of how we may need to address
this from a policy standpoint, I believe the following questions would be suitable to
ask.
Questions: I believe there are better questions we could ask, but here are a few to get us started.
Is this in the scope of the PDP WG?
Does this belong in WT2?
Is this a policy aspect or an implementation of ICANN?
In the event of tackling this subject, what recommendations could be made from a policy standpoint?
Are the Terms and Conditions for described in the Applicant Guidebook enforceable?
Materials: For everyone's reference, I attach the AGB Module 6 Top-Level Domain
Application - Terms and Conditions. If there are other materials or there have
been changes/previous versions to the Terms and Conditions, please correct
me so that we can get them out there for everyone's review.
Regards,
Michael Flemming
