Per the earlier email dialogue,  i think we need to keep these summaries
strictly as statements of the features of each proposal.  The second
sentence (below) is a clear statement of intended benefit and a criticism of
other proposals.  Also, it is confusing to readers as JN2, RACK, Free Trade
and other proposals all prevent registrars from applying - due to the
structural separation requirements of those proposals.    

 

All the perceived benefits and value of a proposal will be in the Attachment
for that proposal where it will be clearly identified as coming from the
proposal advocate.  What's in the body of the report has the implied
agreement of the WG.    Unless we want to turn this into an exercise where
everyone tries to slip in their favorite words for their proposal I think
Section 6 should simply be a factual statement of the proposals features.

Anything that is in the body of the report is a reflection

Please find my short summary of the JN2+ proposal:

 

 

The JN2+ Proposal is intended to restrict Registry Operators and their
affiliates from distributing names within  the TLD for which Registry
Operator or its affiliate serves as the Registry Operator.  That said, it
recognizes that any proposal that outright prohibits a class of entities
from applying to be a Registry Operator is not in line with ICANN's mandate
of promoting competition set forth in the ICANN Bylaws. Therefore it allows
registrars (and their affiliates) to be Registry Operators provided they
agree to not distribute names within a TLD for which they or their
affiliates serve as the Registry Operator.  The JN2 contains definitions of
affiliation which includes both ownership (> 15%) and control (direct or
indirect) and allows exceptions for single registrant TLDs, community TLDs
and Orphan TLDs.  For the first 18 months, restrictions apply towards
back-end registry service providers (RSPs) that control policies, pricing or
selection of registrars  and resellers affiliated with the Registry Operator
or RSP.  After such time, they may petition ICANN for a relaxation of those
restrictions depending on a number of factors.
