3. There may be possibile legal libailities to applicants in certain 
jurisdictions where local laws exists to prevent the deployment
of IDN TLDs (or even sale of ASCII gTLDs restricted to qualified parties 
only). Is ICANN aware and will it investigate and let applicants know
before collecting any fees.


5. The indemnification is inappropriate, particularly considering ICANN 
is charging hefty fees and expects to collect ongoing revenue.
ICANN's non-profit status does not take away from the fact that by 
general standards ICANN is a highly profitable enterprise.

6. The notion that one can or should give up all legal rights in order 
to apply in every and any court of any type (the wording is paranoid) is
insane and possibly illegal and unenforecable in many jurisdictions. 
Even in a shotgun marriage one has more rights. It appears to indicate a
lack of maturity/civic responsibility after a decade of existence.


7. Needs to be far more clear on when explicitly it will keep 
confidentially submitted documents, confidential.

10. ICANN seems to have the option of walking at any time for many 
reasons, while the applicant has no such walk-away rights when
eventually offered a Registry Agreement (whose contents ICANN cannot 
fully define now and this odd condition is also to be
accepted upfront by all applicants).
