[npoc-voice] ICANN Seeks Input on gTLD Batching | ICANN

Opportunity for Community Input: Processing of New gTLD Applications

At the Prague ICANN meeting, the new gTLD Program Committee decided to 
terminate Digital Archery, and instructed ICANN staff to proceed with the 
initial evaluation of applications as quickly as possible. This evaluation is 
in progress based on a tentative project plan that foresees the processing of 
applications in a single batch, and simultaneous release of results. ICANN 
believes this approach is consistent with the constraints that various parts of 
the community have in performing their respective roles in the evaluation 
process, and with the feedback received from the community at the Prague 
meeting.

This comment opportunity seeks input on requirements for an evaluation and 
delegation process consistent with previous root zone scaling discussions of 
smooth delegations, adding no more than 1,000 new gTLDs per year. This outcome 
can be achieved by the:

 1.  timing of the release of evaluation results to applicants,
 2.  timing of the release of applications into the pre-delegation steps of 
contract execution and pre-delegation testing,
 3.  metering of delegations of new gTLDs into the root zone.
