Hi Robin, Karen, et al.

 

Here is what I was remembering from Work Track 4 idns and technical:

 

My question to co-chair Rubens Kuhl:

 

        “Separately, could you please remind me what we said in Work Track 4 re registry rights in relation to idn equivalents to English TLDs owned by that registry?    (This came up in Work Track 3 as to string similarity issues.)”

 

Rubens’  answer:

 

“Regarding specific cases where the IDN TLD happens to be a variant of the ASCII TLD, like .québec and .quebec, the recorded decision was to allow that to the same registry operator, provided some form of bundling is implemented. But it wouldn't apply for instance to translations and transliterations, like the Amazon or the Verisign ones in the 2012-round.”

All,

 

In preparation for our next call on Tuesday, 10 October 2017 @ 20:00 UTC, please see below for our proposed agenda.  We will continue our discussion from last week on the topic of string similarity.  I hope you are able to join the discussion.  Thank you.

 

Best,

Robin

 

Discussion Agenda

 

1. Welcome & Review of Agenda

2. Updates to SOI

3. Plenary Update

5. Should we add another meeting before ICANN#60?  For week of 17 Oct.?

6. CC2 — String Similarity — Q 3.4.4 - 3.4.6

7. AOB

 

 

CC2 Questions on String Similarity  Themes document attached.  Full responses are available for review at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1A5uaxBAgmg7QsFuqMdVvt1HxNZ4jKXnm3Hp0gZra7U0/edit#gid=1452007373  


3.4.4 - Do you believe that there should be some sort of mechanism to allow for a change of applied-for TLD when it is determined to be in contention with one or more other strings? 
           If so, do you have suggestions on a workable mechanism?


3.4.5 - Do you feel that the contention resolution mechanisms from the 2012 round (i.e., CPE and last- resort auctions) met the needs of the community in a sufficient manner?  Please explain.

3.4.6 – Do you believe that private auctions (i.e., NOT the auctions of last resort provided by ICANN) resulted in any harm?  
            Could they lead to speculative applications seeking to participate in a private auction in future application processes? 
            Should they be allowed or otherwise restricted in the future?
