RE: [gnso-rn-wg] GNSO GAC Public Policy Principles

["Gomes, Chuck" <cgomes@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you very much Liz.  After reading this, I think that it would be
very important for us to start asking the GAC questions about some of
the principles well before Lisbon.  If we wait until then, that could
cause delay additional delays in the introduction of new gTLDs.  Whereas
the GAC supports "transparent and predictable criteria" (Section 2.10),
they are asking for some restrictions that may be virtually impossible
to evaluate objectively and they want to have the right to interpret the
application of their principles and veto any application (Section 2.13).

Unless there is objection, I plan to add an agenda item regarding this
for our next meeting.  My intent would be to enlist volunteers to
develop some draft questions for the GAC that could be reviewed by the
full WG and ultimately submitted to the GAC as much in advance of the
Lisbon meetings as possible.

Chuck
