Dear All,
Thank you Dev. The proposed text sounds good for me. However, I wonder if we should not suggest something to the group. The way we put it:
"However, given the concept raised regarding generic words becoming private TLDs has policy implications that impacts individual Internet end users, the gTLD RG recommends that the issues raised be referred to the At-Large new gTLD Working Group (https://community.icann.org/x/8Yoi) for discussion and possible policy recommendations."
seems like giving it all to the gTLD WG without a say from us. Is this what we are required to do? Just a naive question...
What do you all think?
Best, Fatimata

Dear All,
Below is the proposed text to be sent to At-Large, the ALAC, the new gTLD WG chair and to IT for Change, India of the gTLD RG decision re: comment by IT for Change
Comments or suggestions for the text are welcomed. I will formally send this to the aforementioned persons/organisations as well as to the At-Large mailing list and update the RG wiki if there is agreement on the list regarding the text
Kind Regards,
Dev Anand Teelucksingh gTLD RG chair
Dear All,
The gTLD Review Group (gTLD RG ; https://community.icann.org/x/u7-bAQ) received a comment from IT for Change, India on September 11 2012.
IT for Change, India's comment was not directed at a specific application or applicant but was posted to the At-Large new gTLD Applications Dashboard Workspace at
https://community.icann.org/display/newgtldrg/multiple-strings-by-IT-for-cha...
The comment by IT for Change, India is that allowing generic words as private TLDs (i.e with single registrant, with no requirement to make second level domain names available to the open market) is against the public interest.
Because such a concept is outside the scope of any particular applicant or application, the gTLD RG will not be submitting a comment for the ALAC for possible submission to ICANN's new gTLD comment forum before the close of the Application Comment Period on September 26 2012.
However, given the concept raised regarding generic words becoming private TLDs has policy implications that impacts individual Internet end users, the gTLD RG recommends that the issues raised be referred to the At-Large new gTLD Working Group (https://community.icann.org/x/8Yoi) for discussion and possible policy recommendations.
Kind Regards,
Dev Anand Teelucksingh Chair, gTLD Review Group _______________________________________________ Newgtldrg mailing list Newgtldrg@icann.org https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/newgtldrg
