outcomes from the gTLD Review Group re: drafting of possible objections to new gTLD applications
by Dev Anand Teelucksingh Feb. 16, 2013

Feb. 16, 2013

Members of the new gTLD Review Group (gTLD RG) considered the comments from the At-Large community as of February 8 2013 regarding the applications for .amazon (https://community.icann.org/x/dAFlAg) .patagonia (https://community.icann.org/x/fgFlAg) .health (https://community.icann.org/x/0wZlAg) .nyc (https://community.icann.org/x/CYJEAg) None of the applications raised any limited public interest concerns (https://community.icann.org/x/QAkQAg) gTLD RG members ranked each factor of the four tests for community objection grounds ((https://community.icann.org/x/QgkQAg) based on the comments and discussions. Based on these rankings, the following are the decisions by the gTLD RG: Re: .amazon (https://community.icann.org/x/dAFlAg) There will be no drafting of an objection statement on community grounds for the application for .amazon given that the "detriment" test for community objection grounds was not passed. Re: .patagonia (https://community.icann.org/x/fgFlAg) There will be no drafting of an objection statement on community grounds for the application for .patagonia given that the "targeting" and "detriment" tests for community objection grounds were not passed. Re: .health (https://community.icann.org/x/0wZlAg) Objection statements on community grounds will be drafted for the applications for .health given that the four tests for community objection grounds were passed. The gTLD RG will attempt to put together the objection statements to the applications for .health in time for RALO review around 22 February 2013. Re: .nyc There will be no drafting of an objection statement on community grounds for the application for .nyc given the comments received as on February 8 2013 indicated that the initial objection concerns raised were being addressed. A late comment sent to the gTLD RG on 11 February 2013 was treated by the gTLD RG as being submitted too late for consideration. Kind Regards, Dev Anand Teelucksingh gTLD RG chair

If you count Avri as a half ALAC, there are more people from At-Large on the ATRT2 than any other constituency besides the GAC. http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-2-15feb13-en.htm

REMINDER - Webinar: Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) Variant: Examining the User Experience Implication of the Active Variant TLDs
by At-Large Staff Feb. 13, 2013

Feb. 13, 2013

Webinar: Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) Variant: Examining the User Experience Implication of the Active Variant TLDs Date: 13 February 2013 Time: 13:00 14:50 UTC (5:00am 6:30am PST) Adobe Connect: http://icann.adobeconnect.com/idnvarianttld/ <http://icann.adobeconnect.com/idnvarianttld/> Dial In: 1-800-550-6865 or 1-213-233-3193 International numbers available here <http://adigo.com/icann/> Meeting ID: 46389 Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) serve as powerful tools for broadening the Internet's capacity and accessibility; however, they also raise novel issues. One important issue concerns "variants" which occur when a single character can be identified with two or more different Unicode Code Points with graphic representations that may or may not be visually similar. IDN variants contain one or more such characters and therefore, if not handled correctly, might result in user confusion or a poor user experience. In an effort to develop potential solutions for the delegation of IDN variant Top-Level Domains (TLDs), IDN Variant Project Teams, consisting of volunteers, subject matter expert consultants and ICANN staff, have conducted case studies in six scripts, produced an integrated report, and are currently underway to completing three projects investigating potential solutions for IDN Variant TLDs delegation. One of these projects is called the Examining the User Experience Implications of Active Variant TLDs Project (P6). The purpose of the project is to gain an understanding of issues that could arise from activating IDN Variant TLDs and offer recommendations to users to avoid such issues. Examples of user roles that have been identified include registrants, registrars, registry operators, system administrators, network operators, application developers, and end users. Project team has published for public comment the Draft Final Report for Examining the User Experience Implications of Active Variant TLDs <http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/variant-ux-18jan13-en.htm> and is seeking to establish a dialog with the community to refine proposed principles, impacts and recommendations of the study. This webinar is offered to complement that process both by presenting the key concepts and gathering user input. The IDN Variant TLDs Program team is looking forward to your participation.
