RE: [gtld-council] new TLDs Final Report: Last Call

["Rosette, Kristina" <krosette@xxxxxxx>]

A suggested amendment to IG G.  I propose that we amend the last
sentence ("Under this exception, Staff Evaluators will devise criteria
and procedures to investigate the claim.") to read:

Under exception (i), Staff Evaluators will devise criteria and
procedures to investigate the claim.  Under exception (ii), an expert
panel will apply the process, guidelines, and definitions set forth in
IG P. 

This amendment makes explicit the limitation of the role of evaluators
and incorporates the role of an expert panel in those circumstances
where a formal objection has been raised.

As amended, IG G would now read:

Where an applicant lays any claim that the TLD is intended to support a
particular community such as a sponsored TLD, or any other TLD intended
for a specified community, that claim will be taken on trust with the
following exceptions:
(i)  the claim relates to a string that is also subject to another
application and the claim to support a community is being used to gain
priority for the application; and
(ii) a formal objection process is initiated.
Under exception (i), Staff Evaluators will devise criteria and
procedures to investigate the claim.  Under exception (ii), an expert
panel will apply the process, guidelines, and definitions set forth in
IG P and .

(I did not include in the last sentence a reference to rules, etc. that
will be developed for the panel because it's not clear to me what
exactly will be developed and by whom.  I'm amenable to an appropriate
amendment.)
