Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Drawing - process.

The consideration of the public interest is part of ICANN's Affirmation of 
Commitments (... that requires ICANN to "ensure that its decisions are in 
the public interest and not just the interest of a Particular set of 
stakeholders" ...) and has been expressed by the GAC for the introduction 
the new gTLDs in 2007 as a requirement in the "GAC Principles Regarding new 
gTLDs".
There is a consensus that certain existing TLDs are operated to serve the 
public interest, as well as some applied-for new gTLDs will do. That's why 
GeoTLDs , as defined in the Applicant Guidebook, were require to provide a 
support letter of their local authority or government the representative of 
the public interest.  The same goes for Community TLDs. They must 
demonstrate the support of the relevant community as well they are 
accountable to the community by appropriately mechanisms like use policies 
or eligibility requirements policy and enforcement. In order to minimize the 
discrimination of regions with other scripts, IDN TLDs are considered to 
serve the public interest.
The introduction of IDN gTLDs will be prioritized according to the ICANN 
proposal, to take public interest into account. In order to avoid 
discrimination between IDN gTLDs and other public interest gTLDs we demand 
to prioritize all these gTLD applications and process them in the following 
order:
1.       IDNs

2.       GeoTLDs

3.       CommunityTLDs

4.       All other TLDs


Thank you.
