[[--Translated text (es -> en)--]] [[--This message had format issues and was not translated properly--]] Subject:Re: Sobre dominio "o.com" Desde:Alejandro Pisanty <apisanty@gmail.com> Alberto, A little history and principles should serve to set standards in this area. Probably fifteen years ago, a promoter of diverse issues in the GNSO world intensely promoted the release of one-letter names in the second level of .com, mainly y.com and o.com. The companies that had registered these names with the highest probability of success were respectively Yahoo! and Overstock; both have already passed their best moment.The pennies of Yoahoo! are better known, those from Overstock can be seen inhttps://www.forbes.com/sites/warrenshoulberg/2018/05/10/overstock-com-has-so... (It should be remembered that it was an innovative and very emblematic company of new e-commerce business models): Although there is no firm documentary evidence in this regard, the impression that reappeared at that time was that the aforementioned promoter was influencing the PDPs with intense lobbying on multiple fronts, in search of a predicted reward ("contingency fee") in case of achieving the desired modification to ICANN policies. This type of undeclared conflicts of interest is well known; in our community it has been observed at times. In the documents that you transmit to us, Alberto, he realizes what has happened after these promotions, through PDPs of the GNSO, the studies of the SSAC that determine that there is no serious risk to the stability of the DNS by the assignment of domains of a single alphanumeric character, and those of the professionally skilled staff of ICANN that ask the authorities of the United States if there is any risk to economic competition (the authorities reply that they will not open an investigation in this regard). The conclusion of what you present to us is that it is permissible to assign o.com through an auction that Verisign would perform, a record in which this domain name would be stored. Our LACRALO community must ask if a resource as singularly scarce as a single letter of the alphabet should be assigned by this method. It would be advisable that the opinion expressed be widely discussed, and be consistent with the criteria with which it has managed and continues to manage access to names that are similar or related to geographical designations. The zeal shown with these can now be tested. I applaud that as a representative at the ALAC, I have opened this consultation and I invite the other representatives, and the still-current President and Secretary, as well as the candidates participating in the current election, to openly express themselves so that the community can, on the one hand , participate, and on the other hand, evaluate what capacities and attitudes candidates have before emerging substantive issues - much more interesting and instructive than the promises they can make about their future behavior. Best regards Alejandro Pisanty 2018-05-10 21:38 GMT-05: 00 Alberto Soto <asoto@ibero-americano.org> : Dear, ICANN has just requested an opinion on a domain: "... to release for registration a domain name with a single-character label, OR .COM, in the generic top-level domain .COM (gTLD)". I would like to have the opinion of LACRALO members regarding this issue in their relationship with end users. At some point as ALAC Member, I will have to comment on this. I hope to count on your collaboration so that it is not a personal opinion at its opportune moment.
