[gnso-pro-wg] New Principle on Standard "Canned RPM"

["Margie Milam" <Margie.Milam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As discussed, here is a proposed "Approved Model RPM" proposal.

 

"Approved Model  RPMs" (to be developed later) should be available at
the registry's sole discretion to select, which standardizes the sunrise
procedures across a registry/registrar to minimize the costs of
implementation, and eliminates the need for ICANN to scrutinize this
aspect of an application during the new TLD process.    A registry
applicant that fails to pick a "canned sunrise period" must not be
prejudiced in any way if it elects not to use a "Approved Model PRM" as
this is purely a voluntary standard that is meant to make the launch of
new TLDs more efficient.     The list of Approved Model RPMs could be
updated from time to time.
