[Input Requested by 3 Feb] Updated AGB Text on PICs/RVCs (Version 3)
by Ariel Liang Feb. 2, 2025

Feb. 2, 2025

Dear all, Many thanks for your review and input during the past three IRT calls where we discussed the draft AGB text for Topic 9: PICs/RVCs/Community Registration Policies. Based on your feedback, staff updated the draft AGB text and produced version 3 here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iDLHX6fED0DiCVhbWArLgj7RzOOc0Qg2xju5J0h…. You may see the redline of changes compared to version 2 on the wiki space here<https://community.icann.org/display/SPIR/1.+Working+Documents?preview=/3154…>. While most of the changes are not significant, we’d like to highlight the following ones for your closer review: * P.8 Introduction text for RVCs (above section 3.1) * P.9 Text related to registry services in the second paragraph and footnotes 7-8 * Pp.11-12 Section 3.2.4.1 (we decided not to create a special name to refer to the RVCs used to resolve an objection or address GAC Advice) * P.12 Section 3.2.4.2 * P.14 Text related to Criterion 1 Since the discussion on community registration policies evaluated for CPE is still ongoing, we haven’t made significant changes to Section 4 on page 17 (except we moved a paragraph to the top in that section). Based on further deliberation on this issue, we will make necessary updates, if any. In the interest of getting this AGB topic ready for the upcoming public comment in February, we will appreciate your final review and input of the draft AGB text by EOB Monday, February 3. Thank you all! Ariel

Fwd: [Ext] Re: Re: Name Collision
by Mike Rodenbaugh Jan. 30, 2025

Jan. 30, 2025

Hi All, Section 3 of this document re Initial Assessment needs to be fleshed out, a lot, please. The prefaces are important: Sec. 1 - The delegation of almost any new generic top-level domain carries some risk of Name Collision... Sec. 2 - Applicants should note that the metrics for an applied-for string are only one of several factors, both quantitative and qualitative in nature, that will be considered when assessing the risk associated with that string. Applicants should not assume that if the datasets indicate a low volume of name collision occurrences that the string will be assessed as safe to be delegated. Then, INITIAL ASSESSMENT: Sec. 3 - Each applied-for string will undergo an initial risk assessment by an expert evaluator using relevant data sets [examples given] ... and additional qualitative evidence data that can help deduce the severity of harm. The purpose of this assessment is to preliminarily identify *high-risk strings*. Strings assessed to be high-risk will be placed on the Collision String List (see Section 5 [docs.google.com] <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/docs.google.com/document/d/17VZM1Jx9Waw7…>) and any applications for these strings will not proceed until a High-Risk String Mitigation Plan has been completed. Initial Assessment will take place following the [String Confirmation Day]. ICANN will publish a report describing the assessment, its methodology, and findings, once completed. ________________ And that's it. This seems incredibly arbitrary on its face, and likely will result in a very significant expense and delay for any application identified as high-risk. So again I have some questions (some repeated, some new)... What specific and objective criteria will be used by the sole "expert evaluator" to decide whether any string is high-risk? How will anyone be a competent expert at this anyway, and how will they be chosen? How will any decision be challenged? How will any Risk Mitigation Plan be monitored if it is kept secret by ICANN? What really is the risk of undetectable malicious interference, which is the only purported reason to keep these Plans secret? Also, 3 months to come up with an acceptable Risk Mitigation Plan may not be enough. There appears to be very few people who understand any of this, much less can competently come up with a plan acceptable to whatever panel of experts ICANN hires, based on who knows what criteria. Those few people are likely to be in very high demand. There needs to be either a longer deadline, or at least an opportunity for an extension if applicant is making reasonable efforts towards developing a Plan. [image: Image removed by sender.
