Thanks Steve.  We also note that substantive discussion may not be appropriate since the 2012 round is outside the scope of the work of Sub Pro based on our Charter.  (At least that was the approach taken consistently – and rather strenuously -  by Leadership  in Work Track 4 throughout the process.)

 

It seems the WG could make a policy recommendation as to treatment of unresolved strings applied for in the next round if that is what ICANN staff is looking for in terms of guidance.  (This seemed to be what Trang was saying.)  I don’ t think we can make policy recommendations about 2012 applications without an amendment to our Charter.  But I don’t see any problem making policy recommendations that would apply to strings applied for in the next round that remain unresolved during subsequent rounds or during an FCFS process if approved.

Dear WG Members,

 

Attached, please find the remaining applications from the 2012 round of the New gTLD Program. ICANN org provided a spreadsheet that contained the remaining applications, along with basic status information (e.g., ICANN application status, evaluation result, contention set status). The WG Co-Chairs added additional information based on their analysis, as the basic status information does not provide full context; please see columns E and H as an attempt to provide some of that missing context. Notably:

 

• In column E, we have  highlighted in orange applications that will not proceed but have not yet been officially withdrawn by the applicant
• In column H, we have highlighted in grey applications where we know additional information is needed to better understand the current status.  

 

This document will be discussed briefly during the upcoming full WG call but given the late delivery relative to that call, is not intended to be discussed in a substantive manner.

 

Best,

Steve
