Re: [gtld-council] PDP Dec 05: Follow-up to 23 June
We must place limitations on the type of objections that can kill an domain - law/technical/operational. The 2nd sentence below (beginning with "Furthermore") allows for an infinite number of reasons for rejecting an application. We don't want to encourage a lobby-fest over applications. Critics and competitors can kill applications without any basis of law or operational capacity if we allow this free-for-all opposition. So taking a version of the first sentence below and building on that for #20: "An application may only be rejected if is shown to be in violation of the laws of the jurisdiction in which the applicant is incorporated, or if the applicant is shown to lack the technical or operational capacity to perform the necessary functions of managing the domain." - Robin Edmon Chung wrote: May I suggest: "An application will be rejected if is shown to be in violation of the laws of the jurisdiction in which the applicant is incorporated; Furthermore, for gTLDs that appear to serve an economic sector or a community, an application will be rejected if it is determined that there is substantial opposition to it from among established institutions of the target economic sector or community." - Avoiding the terms "national" and "country" - Suggesting that "substantial opposition" is up front to make it more clear.
