RE: [gnso-pro-wg] Suggested Recommendations / Principles

["Griffin, Lance" <Lance.Griffin@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Tim:
 
I think you need to provide some definitions before your suggestion can
be considered.  Also, I had understood that the Registries/Registrars
were only seeking guidelines, and not using the words "best practices."
However, most of your suggestions seem to go way beyond a guideline.  
 
1. What do you mean by "prior rights" in the following phrase?  Where in
the SOW does it say this WG should consider any prior rights an
applicant may have?  Who would determine what prior rights an applicant
has?  Does an applicant who has no travel business have a prior right to
use .travel?  Has ICANN issued a statement on the prior rights of
applicants?
 
All potential registrants have prior rights. 
 
2. What do you mean by "generic labels"?  Who would determine what is
generic and what is not.  On what basis.  Has ICANN issued a statement
on "generic labels"?  
 
3. In the title of your suggestion, what is a PRIO right? 
 
4.  What is the basis for requesting costs plus reasonable fees in a
"prior rights mechanism"?  Is there an ICANN document which provides for
these reasonable fees?  If everyone has prior rights, isn't this fee
just a cost of doing business?
 
These are just a few initial thoughts.
