New GTLDs: Draft Applicant Guidebook Now Available
by At-Large Staff Oct. 24, 2008

Oct. 24, 2008

http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-2-23oct08-en.htm (Multilingual Versions will be posted shortly) How to Apply for a New Generic Top-Level Domain Draft Applicant Guidebook Now Available for Comment New Names will Change the Face of the Internet through Innovation, Choice and Diversity 23 October 2008 Marina del Rey, CA A draft 'Applicant Guidebook' for new generic top-level domains (gTLDs), is now available for review and comment at http://www.icann.org/en/topics/new-gtld-comments-en.htm. The draft Guidebook provides information for those interested in applying for new generic top-level domains. "Since ICANN was founded 10 years ago, one of the foundational principles has been to support competition and consumer choice in generic top-level domains. That competition is meant to promote innovation and enhance user choice and satisfaction" said Dr Paul Twomey, ICANN's President and Chief Executive Officer. "The Internet has produced great openness and innovation that has led to changes few of us imagined. The effect of opening up the top-level of the domain system will enable more innovation and entrepreneurial applications" he said. "One huge area of potential innovation will be applications for names that are in non-Roman characters, or Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs). Currently there are only 21 generic top-level names and they are all in characters that look like English. There are 1.5 billion Internet users and many non-English speakers will have the opportunity to express the whole of a domain name in characters that look like their language," Dr Twomey said. The draft Applicant Guidebook and accompanying material will be made available in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish according to ICANN's translation policy. The modules contain information on the evaluation fee, the application process and evaluation criteria, as well as background material. Designed to accompany the draft Applicant Guidebook is a set of Explanatory Memoranda ( http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-2-21oct08-en.htm ) that are intended to assist understanding of the implementation work for new gTLDs. In addition, two new papers: "Cost Considerations of the new gTLDs Program" and "Summary of Changes to Base Agreement for New gTLDs" are also being released and complete the explanatory memoranda. Amongst the 6 modules and over 200 pages of the draft Guidebook and Memoranda, some key areas of interest are: How contested strings (or names) will be determined; How applications for geographic names will be considered; Technical requirements for new names that encompass internationalized domain names; The rights of intellectual property holders; How morality and public order objections can be raised; The cost of the evaluation process and how it is constructed. There will be two comment periods of 45 days each. Every Government in the world is being sent a letter to draw their attention to the draft and the draft Guidebook remains subject to further consultation and revision. "There has already been robust discussion and consultation regarding many phases of the new gTLD implementation plan, but this is the first opportunity to consider the application and evaluation processes as a whole," Dr Twomey said. "There's been a lot of thought involved in producing the draft Guidebook and we've used best practice and outside experts to assist us in developing the application process. Now is the time for close scrutiny, questions and input that will shape the end result and make it stronger," he said. Media Contacts: Jason Keenan Media Advisor, ICANN P: +1 310 382 4004 E: jason.keenan(a)icann.org Detailed Information on some key issues: Evaluation Fee The Evaluation Fee is designed to make the new gTLD program self-funding only. This was a recommendation of the Generic names Supporting Organization (GNSO). A detailed costing methodology including historical program development costs, and predictable and uncertain costs associated with processing new gTLD applications through to delegation in the root zone estimates a per applicant fee of $US185,000. This is the estimated cost per evaluation in the first application round. The total fee per applicant takes into account close to $US13 million invested by ICANN since October 2007 to put the design of the implementation program in place. It includes allocated staff time, direct consulting expenses and other fixed costs. This cost will be allocated across the new gTLD applications until it is reclaimed and amounts to $US26,000. The fee also includes $US100,000 per applicant relating to both fixed and variable costs of processing each application. A final element of the evaluation fee is a provision for risks related to non-standard processing of applications, or the application and evaluation process. An analysis of these and other risk elements performed by independent specialist, Willis Inc, the world's third largest insurance broker and risk consultant. This analysis identified approximately $US60, 000 to be allocated to each application. It is possible ICANN will over-collect or under-collect for the first round of applications. If fee collection exceeds ICANN expenses, the community will be consulted as to how that excess is to be used. A detailed outline of the Evaluation Fee and other financial consideration are detailed in the Explanatory Memoranda paper: "Cost Considerations for New Top-Level Domains" ( http://www.icann.org/en/topics/new-gtld-cost-considerations-23oct08-en.pdf) [PDF, 517K]. Protection of Rights Holders in new gTLDs The introduction of New gTLDs is consistent with protecting the rights of trademark holders, communities and other rights holders against abusive registration tactics and infringement. ICANN has sought input from numerous businesses, governments and the intellectual property community to devise an approach to protecting the rights of third parties. The plan outlined in the Applicant Guidebook (and corresponding Explanatory Memoranda) addresses rights protection issues at both the top-level and the second-level of the domain name space. At the top-level, ICANN is implementing an objection-based process for dispute resolution where rights holders can assert that proposed gTLD strings would infringe their legal rights based upon generally accepted and internationally recognized principles of law. This process is also being developed with the understanding that it is also not unusual to have a trademark in the same word or phrase for different products or services or registered in different jurisdictions. At the second-level, ICANN is implementing a process where new gTLD applicants are required to describe their Rights Protection Mechanism (RPM) within their applications. These RPMs will be published to the community at the time applications are also made public. All new gTLDs will be subject to ICANN's existing and successful Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (http://www.icann.org/en/udrp/#udrp) Dispute Resolution Providers To resolve disputes in a timely and independent fashion ICANN has established relationships with internationally recognized dispute resolution providers to administrate the dispute resolution processes called for as part of ICANN's evaluation of new gTLD applications. Three providers have been selected to provide expertise to ICANN relating to the evaluation of the applications: The Arbitration and Mediation Center of the World Intellectual Property Organization; The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC); and, the International Centre for Dispute Resolution (ICDR). The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) has agreed in principle to administer disputes brought pursuant to Morality and Public Order Objections and Community Objections. The ICC is a world-renowned dispute resolution provider based in Paris, France. The Arbitration and Mediation Center of the World Intellectual Property Organization has agreed in principle to administer disputes brought pursuant to Legal Rights Objections. The WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center, based in Geneva, Switzerland, was established in 1994 to offer Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) options for the resolution of international commercial disputes between private parties. Finally, the International Centre for Dispute Resolution (ICDR) has agreed in principle to administer disputes relating to String Confusion Objections. The ICDR, based in New York, NY, United States, has many cooperative agreements with arbitral institutions around the world for facilitating the administration of its international cases. New gTLDs and the Internet - Openness. Change. Innovation. After years of discussion and thought, new generic top-level domains (gTLDs) are being expanded. They will allow for more innovation, choice and change to a global Internet presently served by only 21 generic top-level domain names. As a not for profit corporation dedicated to coordinating the Internet's addressing system, ICANN is not doing this to add to its revenue. An implementation plan is being developed with opportunities for public comment. There will be processes for objections. There has also been detailed technical scrutiny to ensure the Internet's stability and security. There will be an evaluation fee but it will recover costs only (expenses so far, application processing and anticipated legal costs). Many thousands of people representing organizations as diverse as domain name registries and registrars, businesses, engineers, scientists, governments, user, academics, and the legal fraternity have contributed. Promoting competition and choice is one of the principles upon which ICANN was founded. In a world with 1.5 billion Internet users (and growing), diversity, choice and innovation are key. The Internet has supported huge increases in choice, innovation and the competition of ideas. Expanding new gTLDs provides further opportunities.

FW: [ALAC] Request for an Issues Report on the recovery of expired domain names
by Carlton Samuels Oct. 22, 2008

Oct. 22, 2008

See the request for support. I recommend that LACRALO endorse the Request for Issues Report contained. Carlton Samuels LACRALO Secretariat -----Original Message----- From: alac-bounces(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org [mailto:alac-bounces@atlarge-lists.icann.org] On Behalf Of Alan Greenberg Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2008 11:37 AM To: ALAC Working List; at-large(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org Subject: [ALAC] Request for an Issues Report on the recovery of expired domain names At its October 14th teleconference, the ALAC voted to request an Issues Report on the subject of registrants being able to recover domain names after their formal expiration date. Details can be found at https://st.icann.org/alac/index.cgi?recovery_of_expired_domain_names. An Issues Report is the first step in a possible Policy Development Process. The motion calls for the draft request to be revised before and at the Cairo ICANN meeting. A number of people have already volunteered to work on the initial effort, and unless I hear otherwise, will assume that they will continue to do so (I will verify). The ALAC formed a small Working Group. According to the motion "The working group may include representatives from At-Large, GNSO constituencies and other interested individuals but due to tight time constraints, will be limited to those with specific knowledge of the subject being discussed." If anyone else would like to participate, please let me know. I am also formally calling for statements of support for this initiatives from ALSs and RALOs. Statements need not be long. Lastly, if people can send me concise descriptions of situations where a domain name had inadvertently been allowed to expire, telling what happened, that would be very useful.

Re: [lac-discuss-en] [ALAC] Draft revised Rule 21 - Minimum Participation Requirements
by Carlton Samuels Oct. 22, 2008

Oct. 22, 2008

This is a very measured response because quite frankly, this entire chapter tends to make this *voluntary* situation seems like work for fee. Secondly, it is offends reason and vex the spirit to think that minutes spent in a meeting is being equated with participation! [Do indulge and give me relief on this notion!] All in all, I support the general thrust of Alan's views. And if this proposal came to a vote as is, I would *strongly recommend and encourage* LACRALO representatives to ALAC to vote NO. Carlton -----Original Message----- From: alac-bounces(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org [mailto:alac-bounces@atlarge-lists.icann.org] On Behalf Of Alan Greenberg Sent: Thursday, October 16, 2008 02:09 PM To: ALAC Working List Subject: [ALAC] Draft revised Rule 21 - Minimum Participation Requirements (Comment also posted to the wiki.) There is a draft revision of the ALAC Rules of Procedure Rule 21 - Minimum Participation Requirements posted at https://st.icann.org/alac/index.cgi?cairo_documents. The draft sets out the expectations of ALAC members and others, and includes remedies for non-performance. I have quite strong feelings about this proposal. First, those of you who have heard me talk or read my comments about ALAC members who cannot or do not participating effectively know that I fell that this problem must be addressed. However, I feel the documents is totally inappropriate in a number of ways. If it comes to a vote in anywhere near the current version, I will vote against it. I could write a lot on this, but I will try to keep this short, and hopefully start a dialogue. Here is gist of my concerns: - The fact that this is a 10 page document, up from the previous 1 page is a first symptom. We should not need to go into things at that level. The people participating in our group should be sufficiently professional and intelligent that we do not have to do this. - As with the previous version, it sets specific, quantitative targets for some aspects of performance and demands 100% compliance or be subject to removal. This version is slightly better in that it gives some option for correction. But it is still relies too much on an automata view of process (that is, prescribed such that it could be implemented by a computer without human intervention). - I object to decision making delegated in such a broad way to the Chair and the Executive Committee (a concept that does not even exist in the rest of the RoP). I have no problem describing expectations and in fact I strongly advocate it. But writing rules such as these almost sets the expectations that we are going to have a lot of people in violation of them. We should set reasonable expectations, and in the (hopefully rare) cases that people are not meeting them, take effective action. If we feel that we need such detailed and rigid rules to get effective participation, we are not selecting the right people, and THAT is something that we should be addressing with the highest priority.

Re: [lac-discuss-en] [ALAC] ALAC Rules of Procedure - draft amendments to Rule 21 - versions espanol and francais
by Carlton Samuels Oct. 22, 2008

Oct. 22, 2008

Regarding domain tasting, the record will show that the LACRALO Secretariat proposed that if the AGP was a contractual obligation, the organic resolution was to remove the profit incentive from its exploitation. LACRALO adopted this position. It appears the proposal as outlined has also adopted this straightforward solution, albeit with a little weakness. In our view, the weakness it that the rules proposed are not applicable to all operators and binding on all Registrars. Our opposition to the grounds outlined for new gTLD string objection in the operator application process was early and is well-known. As a student of history, it reminded me of the thinking that gave us the legacy of the British colonial "Sus" laws, which were just as uncivilized. I say again: that 'public order and morality" clause contained in the gTLD application objection process debases the ideal of an allegedly global process, is offensive to reason and injurious to the commonweal. This general position was also adopted by LACRALO and, eventually, the ALAC. In my own view, it is disingenuous, at best, to promote the idea of 'fixing' this in the "implementation process". And I am unanimous on that. Carlton BTW, counting minutes as a measure of "participation" is plain....well, wrong-headed too, eh! And I say this as a guy who sells knowledge services by the hour!! -----Original Message----- From: alac-bounces(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org [mailto:alac-bounces@atlarge-lists.icann.org] On Behalf Of Wendy Seltzer Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2008 04:28 AM To: At-Large Staff Cc: At-Large Worldwide Subject: Re: [ALAC] ALAC Rules of Procedure - draft amendments to Rule 21 - versions espanol and francais I'm not quite sure why the wiki-cleaner removed my comment, but I think the draft amendments are absurd.

Draft Applicant Guidebook for New gTLDs Available Soon. Six-module guide out for public comment in next two weeks.

Draft Applicant Guidebook for New gTLDs Available Soon Six-module guide out for public comment in next fortnight http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-2-16oct08-en.htm 16 October 2008 In the next two weeks, in the lead up to ICANN's Cairo public meeting, the new generic top-level domain (gTLD) Applicant Guidebook, also called the "draft Request for Proposal (RFP)", will be released. This document will provide information to applicants wanting to apply for a new gTLD. The Draft Applicant Guidebook will be in a draft format and posted for public comment and review. It will comprise six modules: Introduction to the gTLD Application Process, which includes the main application fee Evaluation Process Objection and Dispute Resolution String Contention Transition to Delegation Top-Level Domain Allocation Terms and Conditions An accompanying announcement to the Draft Applicant Guidebook will highlight areas of the process that remain under development. These areas will be made available for public consultation in the near future. A public comment webpage will allow for detailed review and input submitted by the Internet community. ICANN expects to engage in a productive and robust dialogue with the Internet community through a consultative process that will last for forty-five days. Comments will be used to revise and prepare the final Applicant Guidebook, to be released early 2009. In addition to the Draft Applicant Guidebook, ICANN will post a series of papers that will serve as explanatory memoranda to assist the Internet community to better understand the implementation work. Some of the topics covered by these papers include the proposed methodologies for string contention resolution and protection of rights of others. For current information, timelines and activities related to the New gTLD Program, please go to http://www.icann.org/en/topics/new-gtld-program.htm. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- New gTLDs and ICANN - a brief overview Since ICANN was founded ten years ago as a non-for-profit, multi stakeholder organization dedicated to coordinating the Internet's addressing system, one of its foundational principles, recognized by the United States and other governments, has been to promote competition in the domain-name marketplace while ensuring Internet security and stability. The expansion will allow for more innovation, choice and change to the Internet's addressing system, now constrained by only 21 generic top-level domain names. In a world with 1.5 billion Internet users - and growing - diversity, choice and competition is key to the continued success and reach of the global network. The decision to launch these coming new gTLD application rounds followed a detailed and lengthy consultation process with all constituencies of the global Internet community. Representatives from a wide variety of stakeholders - governments, individuals, civil society, business and intellectual property constituencies, and the technology community - were engaged in discussions for more than 18 months. In October 2007, the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) - one of the groups that coordinate global internet policy at ICANN - completed its policy development work on new gTLDs and approved a set of recommendations. The culmination of this policy development process was a decision by the ICANN Board of Directors to adopt the community-developed policy in June 2008 at the ICANN meeting in Paris. A thorough brief to the Policy process and outcomes can be found at http://gnso.icann.org/issues/new-gtlds/.

TO: Internauta Chile FROM: ICANN At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) SUBJECT: At-Large Structure Certification ICANN's At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) is pleased to inform you that Internauta Chile has been certified as an At-Large Structure (ALS). The ALAC greatly appreciates your group¹s interest in involving individual users in ICANN and looks forward to working with you and your colleagues. The purpose of ALS certification is to recognize that your organization meets the necessary criteria to involve individual Internet users at the local or issue level in ICANN activities, and that your organization will support its individual members' informed participation in ICANN efforts that affect end-users. The ALAC is eager to promote a productive working relationship between your organization, other ALS, and the ALAC (and ICANN in general), and your input on how we can make this a success would be greatly appreciated. We would like to offer some initial tools to help your organization keep its members informed (about significant news from ICANN and information on ICANN policy-development efforts) and engaged in activities of interest: - Point of Contact for your Organisation: Please send an email to staff(a)atlarge.icann.org identifying the names and email addresses of one or two individuals who will be the point of contact for information and correspondence regarding ICANN At-Large. If this changes, please let us know. - At Large Mailing Lists. There are many At Large email lists, for each region; you can signup for them and manage your subscriptions at: http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo. The points of contact you identify will automatically be added to your region¹s list just for accredited ALSes to discuss regional issues; you are invited to join others as you wish. - ALS information. Information about your organization will be shared with the At-Large community to enable individuals interested in your group's activities to contact you, and to encourage cooperation with other groups interested in ICANN activities in your geographic region. Please complete and email the form at the bottom of this note to staff(a)atlarge.icann.org. - ALAC website. The ALAC website (www.atlarge.icann.org) is a good source for ICANN news and information of interest to individual Internet users. We encourage you to provide your members with a link. The ALAC relies on volunteers to translate information into multiple languages. Translations of documents on the website are welcome and should be sent to staff(a)atlarge.icann.org. - At-Large Regional Websites. Regional webpages also have been created to distribute information (including in local languages) on activities, events and issues of particular interest to people in each region. These are being very substantially revised in the next couple of weeks but you should keep the URLs handy and check back regularly. They are: African Region: http://www.afralo.org/ Asia/Australia/Pacific Region: http://www.apralo.org/ European Region: http://www.euralo.org/ Latin America/Caribbean Region: http://www.lacralo.org/ North American Region: http://www.naralo.org/ - Regional WiKi: Each At-Large Region has a Wiki that allows the region to collaborate. These are maintained by the community and create the regional websites shown above. This framework is in the final stages of preparation but if you wish to have a user account, send an email to staff(a)atlarge.icann.org We look forward to working with you and your organization's members to advance individual Internet users' interests within ICANN.
