[gtld-council] Recommendation 20

Given the useful implementation definitions already written for rec. 20 is any
more clarity
needed ? Rec. 20 carefully reflected the group's discussions as annotated below:
"An application will be rejected (WILL is correct here as it relates to a
determination of
SUBSTANTIAL opposition. If there is opposition that is determined NOT to be
substantial,
there will be no rejection).
if is it determined, (MEANS there will be a panel to so determine)
based on public comments (recognises that initial opposition may be
communicated via public
comments, and so staff would then invite a formal objection)
or otherwise (that is a formal objection)
that there is substantial opposition to it (keyword SUBSTANTIAL, see
definition below)
from among significant established institutions (see definition below)
of the economic sector, or cultural or language community, (that is a
commercial or social
interest)
to which it is targeted (that is the STRING may be so deemed to be targeted by
the objecting
institution)
or which it is intended to support." (that is the APPLICATION is explicit
about use).
In other words, the group has already covered all the angles we have recently
discussed yet
again! The other attempts to simplify the recommendation are less elegant.
We see no need to change.

------------------------------------------
Substantial Opposition: A procedure including required documentation will be
prepared by
ICANN. this documentation will include elements such as a detailed description
of the
community affected and the nature of the harm it would cause that community to
have the TLD
granted to the applicant. In judging substantial opposition, the process will
include
consideration of the number of completely independent established institutions
registering
an objection.
Established institution: While the normal criteria should for an institution
that has been
in formal existence for at least 10 years. In exceptional cases, standing may
be granted to
an institution that has been in existence for fewer then 10 years. Exceptional
circumstance
may relate to reasons such as: organization was reorganized or merged with
another
organization, community is younger the 10 years.
Formal existence: This is defined by an appropriate form of public registration
or clear
public historical evidence. Third party validation by a government,
Intergovernmental
organization or well known established institution (e.g. International Red
Cross, a Bar
Association, a Medical Certification Body) may also be used.
