[bc-gnso] Draft v1 of BC comments on latest gTLD Guidebook
Per discussion on our 21-Apr member call, here is a draft framework for BC comments on the 15-Apr-2011 Guidebook. This comment period and docs are described at http://icann.org/en/topics/new-gtlds/comments-6-en.htm These comments are due 15-May, giving us 18 days for edits, review, and approval. For this initial draft, I updated our Dec-2010 Guidebook comments in several ways: - Acknowledged areas where ICANN made changes consistent with BC recommendations. - Moved all our RPM concerns to Module 5 - Asked several questions for BC members (in red) - Added a proposed definition for "Single-Registrant TLD". We may hold a separate call on this. All BC members are invited to suggest edits. Please use track changes and circulate to BC list. I will assemble another draft version with all changes received as of May 1. Below are the primary contributors from our Dec-2011 comments, organized by module. Module 1: Introduction to New gTLD Application Process and Fees. (Berry Cobb, Ron Andruff ) Module 2: Evaluation Procedures. (Philip Sheppard, Jon Nevett, Adam Palmer, Zahid Jamil, Sarah Deutsch ) Module 3: Dispute Resolution. ( John Berard, Ron Andruff ) Module 4: String Contention. ( Ron Andruff ) Module 5: Transition to Delegation; Registry Agreement, Code of Conduct, RPMs ( Philip Sheppard, Fred Fellman, Berry Cobb, Jon Nevett, Sarah Deutsch ) Other notes: In our SFO comments, the BC said the new gTLD communications plan should help the world's businesses and users understand changes coming in the DNS. But I didn't see anything in the latest Guidebook about the Communications Plan. So that comment was not reflected in the attached draft.
