Thank you Jared Perhaps adding this sentence from your explanation “As noted in the Application Change Request section, if an applicant does not pass CPE, it must remain a community applicant/application, and the community registration policies must remain in their Registry Agreement.” At the end of “If the community-based applications (as there could be more than one) in a contention set do not meet the criteria set forth below, then all of the applications in the contention set will proceed to an ICANN auction. [See Section X.X Contention Resolution for more information.]” Would make it abundantly clear to everyone reading that section of the AGB. Thanks!

Dear Elaine and IRT Members, As a reminder, CPE does not determine the community status of an applicant/application. It determines whether a community application can achieve priority in the contention set, based on meeting the criteria. In that sense, the community status is not variable based on whether an application passes CPE. An applicant that marks its application as a community application cannot change that (as noted in the Application Change Request section). So, even if an applicant does not pass CPE, it must remain a community applicant/application, and the community registration policies (which must have already passed RCE), must remain in their Registry Agreement. Please let me know of any further questions.

[See Section X.X Contention Resolution for more information.]” Can the community based applicant “change” to a “generic” application or are they still evaluated on the community specific items (registration polices) ? In other words are they held to the application commitments even if they don’t get CP?
