Re: [gnso-vi-feb10] Merged Proposal

[Jon Nevett <jon@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Eric, 

First 18 months, 15% cap unless:

Single Registrant -- SR and employees only (no 3rd parties)
Community -- fewer than 30k names
Orphan -- good faith showing of no interest and fewer than 30K names


After 18 months, 15% cap unless:

ICANN amends criteria based on community and external inputs. 


One important distinction is that our proposal permits any entity to apply to 
be a RO, they just can't distribute the names through an affiliated registrar 
(ICANN accredited or not) unless they fall in one of the exceptions or the 
criteria is changed after 18 months.  Other proposals wouldn't permit certain 
entities from even applying to be a RO.

Hope that helps.

Thanks.

Jon
