Dear Martin
Thank you referring to the old correspondence 
However,it seems that you implicitly favouring .brand and Neustar ‘ views
Moreover you provide some pro ideas in this regard but failed to I dictate the cones 
Please kindly also describe drawbacks of the suggestions
Having said that I strongly oppose to the idea of batch release and any other approach until we fully discuss the incomplete works before us and avoid a piecemeal procedure

Dear Jeff,

Thank you for sharing the correspondence from AFRALO-AFRICANN.

As a member of the PDP WG, I think it is worthwhile sharing correspondence that the Brand Registry Group sent to the ICANN Board almost one year ago but remains relevant, even more so today, to this topic. This letter also flagged the idea of approaching the next round in batches according to risk-levels, particularly in relation to Internet users. This letter includes a recommendation that "alternative options are explored urgently to undertake smaller rounds for specific categories of registry models introduced in the 2012 round”.

The Neustar proposal for phased rounds helps to articulate this further and offers solutions to a number of concerns raised within the PDP WG, i.e. reduce risk of excessive demand by spreading the application across phases, reduce resourcing impact on ICANN and third-party resources, allow ICANN to develop process and systems over time and provide predictability for applicants. At ICANN63, when the Neustar proposal was raised in the Public Forum, the BRG stated its willingness "to explore and discuss effective ways for this to be implemented including options to conduct smaller distinct application rounds by type where the type of registry is considered as low risk could be prioritised.” 

Kind regards,

Martin
