RE: [gnso-rn-wg] Report for Other Names at the 2nd Level

["Patrick Jones" <patrick.jones@xxxxxxxxx>]

Greg,

 

To clarify your reference to .travel below, on the March 8 (if not earlier)
I mentioned that the Travel Partnership Corporation has been running a
comment period within their sponsored community on a potential premium name
auction. Information about the announcement and comment period is available
at http://www.ttpc.org/announce.htm. This has not yet been proposed to
ICANN, but it at least demonstrates that Tralliance has plans to potentially
allocate these names.

As discussed on yesterday's call, please consider the following friendly
amendment to the this report, as follows, to be placed at the beginning of
section C.1:

 

These names differ from ICANN reserved names in that the names are actually
intended to be allocated by the Registries. Therefore, the names arguably
fall outside the remit of this particular Working Group.  However,
allocation plans for these Registries are, in many cases, uncertain and have
no timing requirements. At least one registry (.travel) has indicated it has
no current plans to allocate these names.  Thus, it is quite possible that
these names could remain unallocated for extremely long periods of time, and
become de facto reserved names.  In order to avoid this result, registries
should be encouraged to have clear allocation plans with regard to these
names, including plans with regard to timing, with a goal to allocating
these names within a reasonable period of time.  It may also be preferable
if these names were set forth in an Appendix and considered during the
approval process for the for the TLD.

Assuming that no later version of this report is sent to the list before our
meeting today, we will use this version to discuss recommendations today.
Note that it appears that the full subgroup may not have reached consensus
on the recommendations but they will have opportunity to participate in the
discussion in our WG meeting.  Also, note that the highlighted comments
under the recommendations for each of the three subcategories are my
comments for discussion in our call today.
