Draft Application Guidebook
by maruyama＠nic.ad.jp Dec. 9, 2008

Dec. 9, 2008

Hi friends, This is Masa Maruyama with JPNIC. It's a happy news that ICANN extended the comment period for New gTLD draft application guide book. For your information, here is my comment just sent out. I hope this will be useful for you. Best regards, Masa ---------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Tue, 9 Dec 2008 04:18:17 +0900 (JST) Message-Id: <200812081918.mB8JIHj2078244(a)surya.ism.ac.jp> To: gtld-guide(a)icann.org Subject: Preamble From: maruyama(a)nic.ad.jp (MARUYAMA Naomasa) Dear Sir, I think the Application Guidebook should contain a preamble to give overall image of the New gTLD process in the context of ICANN's policy making. For those who read the Guidebook for the first time, it is particularly important that the guidebook to be self-contained. I think the guidebook tries to explain all the details of the application process itself(I truely appreciate all the effort made by the staff for that), but lacks an explanation about the positioning of the process in the whole ICANN's policy making. This is a shortcoming of the guidebook in the sense that it will be hard for those who are not familiar with activities of the ICANN to understand the meaning of the process. My image of the preamble is: - At most one page long, - having a rough explanation about the history of the PDP process, - having an explanation about purpose of creating new gTLDs in the context of ICANN's mission, especially about the idea that gTLDs are for registry operators and for promoting competition in the domain name market(thus the Registry-Registrar model will be enforced). I hope my comment will be useful. Best regards. ---- (Mr.) NaoMASA Maruyama Japan Network Information Center(JPNIC)
