[gnso-igo-ingo-qc] RE: Qualification Spreadsheet Integrated

["Claudia MACMASTER TAMARIT" <MACMASTER@xxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Having reviewed the integrated version, we get the impression that there has 
been a misinterpretation in the recordkeeping aspect for the secretariat of 
this sheet.

First of all, the source of each comment is not identified.  While my and 
Evan's comments are included as our quotes, Kiran, David and Jim's comments are 
unattributed in most cases or attributed  to "we".  We object to this form of 
attribution as it gives the inaccurate impression that the Kiran et al speak 
for the majority, especially in cases when this is being objected to.  All 
comments (at least where there is divergence) should be attributed to the 
speaker.

Second, several of the proposed criteria have been collapsed into one cell with 
no justification.  For example, three of our proposed criteria have been 
collapsed into the public good criteria.  We object as these three criteria 
involve different considerations and different sources in law and fact to 
satisfy them.

Also membership composition and years in duration have been collapsed into one 
cell without justification.  These are two different criteria, and we object to 
their conjunction into one cell.

Third, we disagree that the criteria we proposed under harm should only be 
discussed under the harm work sheet.  While this Group should evaluate the harm 
at issue in a general sense to determine whether special protections should be 
given, the criteria proposed, such as recognition of the organization by the 
acronym/name to be protected, may also be included as eligibility criteria and 
merits discussion.

Finally, we would kindly request to maintain accuracy when integrating these 
spreadsheets.  Some comments were excluded or incorrectly/incompletely copied.

Thomas, can we kindly request your help in making sure that comments are not 
changed or excluded in this and future integrations?

Sincerely,
Claudia

Subject: [gnso-igo-ingo-qc] Qualification Spreadsheet Integrated

Good Evening Qualification Criteria Group Members:

Here is an integrated version of our spreadsheet.  We have reviewed the 
transcripts and email communication and have attempted to integrate all 
comments that we feel are appropriately included and representative of the 
Working Group and various organization's views.

After reviewing both Evan's and Claudia's suggested inclusions, we have made 
the following decisions:


*         Some suggested criteria are more appropriately discussed in other 
small groups.  These are:

o   What is the current incidence of fraudulent or misleading domains related 
the organization?  (from Evan) - Best discussed under "Nature of the Problem."

o   Does the organization, or its subsidiaries, engage in ad-hoc domain 
creation to deal with unforeseen needs (ie: disaster relief)?  (from Evan) - 
Best discussed under "Nature of the Problem" as it relates to increased 
likelihood of phishing and other fraudulent activities.

o   Does the organization currently use a domain name under .int?  (from Evan) 
- Currently being discussed under "Eligibility Criteria"

o   Harm - with specified subgroups (from Claudia's email dated December 19, 
2012) - Best discussed under "Nature of the Problem."

*         For those additional criteria that we added in the spreadsheet - we 
invite the individuals that suggested the additional criteria to fill out the 
corresponding fields of the spreadsheet as they are most likely to 
appropriately tailor the answers to the concerns that gave rise to the 
suggestion.

In addition, we integrated the two spreadsheets by including Claudia's 
comments, either in the body of the spreadsheet if those comments represented a 
widely accepted viewpoint to the members of the WG and organizations or in 
"notes" if they did not.

Thank you for your continued work on this issue.

Best regards,

Jim Bikoff, David Heasley and Kiran Malancharuvil
