The following is our comment on module 5 of the New gTLD Applicant  Guidebook 
Version 3: Module 55.0 It's is really important that before the opening of the 
application period the final Registry Agreement needs to be presented by ICANN. 
No application fee and\or applications might be accepted by ICANN until the 
final Registry Agreement presented to public.5.2.1. In some cases there is a 
strong objection towards existing requirement of signing up for DNSSEC in 
government level. So existing enforcement of signing up for DNSSEC under single 
US government authority on all data will challenge present government policy. 
In case of Russia's IDN\ASCII gTLD applicants it's really sensitive issue which 
present a challenge for both ICANN and applicants.5.2.2  The ability to handle 
IvP6 is not sufficient enough in case of Eastern Europe and Former Soviet Union 
countries, as well as at most of the developing world's ISPs. Asking for 
requirement to present network tests to demonstrate actual live IvP6 will be 
block IDN-using-and-need countries and favor wealthy ascii countries to have 
advantage based on that clause.5.4 By simple calculations we can see that there 
is sufficient (3X-4X times) increase in ICANN's revenue expected after the new 
gTLDs launching. Does ICANN have exact plan how to handle this money and remain 
to be in NON-profit corporation status?Very Best Regards, Alexei Sozonov CEO
