Questions about 4.2.1, 4.3, and Section 8.4 of Proposed draft of new gTLD agreement

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

Hello, 

With apologies for the belated submission, I have three questions.

4.2.1.:  Is the applicant's identification of its application as open or
community-based dispositive?  If not, under what circumstances will
ICANN substantively examine that self-identification and change it?

4.3:  What is the reason for not allowing contending parties to combine
to form a new application?

8.4 (Proposed draft agreement):  Does ICANN anticipate revising this
provision to require a registry operator to obtain ICANN's prior written
approval for a change of control?  If not, why not?

Many thanks.

Kristina
