Re: [gnso-vi-feb10] What do we mean by "single registrant"?

[Volker Greimann - Key-Systems GmbH <vgreimann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I also tend to agree partially here. What we need now as a first step, 
and what we may just be able to develop in the short time we have 
available, is a one-size-fits-all set of conditions in which VI and/or 
CO may be possible and/or desirable for all cases.
If we try to develop a seperate policy for each of the proposed 
applicant groups and the as of yet not included groups, we would most 
likely not be able to find an answer to the objectives of the WG in time 
for the next ICANN meeting. After we have a basic outline on where we 
are going to end up, we can start worrying about special needs of 
particular applicant types. Naturally, it makes sense to test the 
proposed set of conditions against as many proposed applications as 
possible and look for possible loopholes, but we will get nowhere by 
starting to paint the little details before we work out what the grand 
picture could be.
Regarding the issue of single registrant TLDs, I feel this is very 
dangerous territory as making special concessions here will allow plenty 
of opportunitiers of gaming the system, and any special considerations 
for this group should therefore be handled very restrictively. We should 
therefore build a system of rules that applies to all applicants and 
then worry about the special cases.
