[gnso-pednr-dt] PEDNR Recommendations 16, 17

["Berry Cobb" <berrycobb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I guess you can say Recommendation #16 is complete (to a certain degree).

 

A footnote to the Registrant Rights & Responsibilities, just posted by ICANN
today, references the gTLD lifecycle.

I understand that the PEDNR recommendations are not consensus policy,
because the Council has yet to vote and of course implement.  Despite this,
I was under the impression that no Working Group member was pleased with the
accuracy and representation of this the gTLD lifecycle diagram.  I cannot
speak for other members, but I certainly do not support it.  Plus, my worst
fears are being realized by ICANN promoting this diagram and the conundrum I
predicted is starting to materialize.  If I recall correctly during WG
deliberations there was a lack of support for any specific recommendation
that a process diagram outlining the Expiration process be created.

 

No doubt if PEDNR recommendations are adopted, then this diagram becomes
invalid.  My question back to the WG, absent any CP on PEDNR
recommendations, is should ICANN & the Community even advertise this gTLD
lifecycle diagram to begin with?

 

I look forward to hearing responses.  Thanks.

 

As a side note...  The RtRRof2009RAA makes for some great bedtime reading.
I am not familiar with the project plan for rolling out this material, but I
hope there is a more exciting platform for Registrants to digest this
information. Else, we may encounter the same results with Rt reading of
Registrants Agreements, TOCs, etc.
