we mis-stated the target for our first item on page 10, where we said
"Post-Sunrise Registrations > 15%". This error was politely
pointed-out by two reporters today: Kevin Murphy (<a target="_blank"

and Amy Bivins (BNA). </div> <div><br> </div> <div>I told both of them
that this was a typo, and should shave read: "Post-Sunrise Registrations
> 85% of total registrations"</div> <div><br> </div> <div>I am sure this
isn't the only typo in our document, but it is a critical one since there is
keen interest in defensive registration measures. </div> <div><br> </div>
<div>So I hope that Berry can update the ICANN website today with a corrected
document.</div> <div><br> </div> <div>Second, Kevin Murphy asked a follow-up
question about timing and targets. I answered for myself— not the working
group. But I wanted you to see the answer I gave (below). Comments

font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; "> <div>But it makes no
sense to measure this expansion program against firm targets at the end of year
one. At that point, second and third batch gTLDs will have only a few
months of uptime. And even the first batch will still be going through
growing pains and building market share. </div> <div><br> </div>
<div>Perhaps that's why the board resolution didn't ask for first or second
year targets, and we were glad to focus just on year 3, when all the new gTLDs
would have had time to build registrations. That also leaves time for
some new gTLDs to have failed or gone fallow, which is natural for a
market-driven adoption process.</div> <div><br> </div> <div>So, let's assume
the AoC review begins one year after the first batch of new gTLDs have been in
operation. It will take a month or two to select the review team.
Then a month or two to define their charter and put that up for public
comment. If, as I hope, the review team selects measures that we
recommended in our draft advice, then ICANN may already be collecting much of
the data needed. On the other hand, newly defined measures would require
new data gathering. </div> <div><br> </div> <div>Suffice to say that this
review won't finish until most new gTLDs have been in operation for one to two
years. </div> <div><br> </div> <div>If the review team embraces our
measures and 3-year targets, they could adjust our 3-year targets to apply to a
1.5 or 2-year period.</div> <div><br> </div> <div>So I don't believe our work,
or that of the AoC review team, should cause a deferral of the second round of
new gTLD applications.</div> <div><br> </div> <div>--</div>

Steve.</div> <div><br> </div> <div>One thing I'm not totally clear on -- maybe
I'm just missing something-- is what ICANN is supposed to measure after year
one.</div> <div><br> </div> <div>I realize the board resolution you were
working to asked for three-year targets, but the first-year ones seem
pretty important too, given that there's an open question (as I understand
