[gtld-council] new TLDs work: updated Staff Discussion Points issue areas
Good evening everyone Referring to section 2.3 of the Staff Discussion Points document: We now understand there to be 4 grounds for objection (confusingly similar; legal rights of others; legal principles; and established institutions). Are geographical and cultural terms names intended to be covered by the community-based objection process arising from the finalization of Recommendation 20 or as part of the Recommendation 5 "reserved word" section? With respect to Recommendations 6 & 20, implementation guidelines will be completed once the text is stable and after the NCUC submits its minority reports on both recommendations later this week.Referring to section 3.7.3 of the Staff Discussion Points document with respect to Recommendation 7 (on an applicant being able to demonstrate their technical capability to run a registry operation) staff raised a question on the phrase "for the purpose that the applicant sets out." As far as we are aware, there was no discussion within the committee on this point. Staff notes that in implementation of this recommendation, the evaluation of technical capabilities would need to take into account more factors than the applicant's stated purpose only. We do appreciate very much the ongoing work of the Committee and look forward to the finalisation of the recommendations. Kind regards and, of course, any questions, please just ask.
