Re: [soac-newgtldapsup-wg] Latest draft of JAS WG Final Report

Just going through this

A couple of things

In the introductory sections there are clear references to auction proceeds 
being used to fund this project, yet the same auction fees are being clearly 
referenced in relation to the overall new TLD project funding on page 20. This 
appears to be inconsistent.

I cannot support any of the text related to IPv6. I've made it very clear on 
numerous occasions that I do not agree with the WG's stance on Ipv6 and the 
text on this goes completely against anything I could support.

I am not going to try to debate this with the WG again, as it's pretty clear 
that my arguments are either being ignored or aren't understood. I'm not sure 
which it is.
However my disagreement with this needs to be noted even if it is only as a 
minority point of view (however I know other people on this list expressed not 
dissimilar views in the past)

I also do not support the sections related to "capacity building". I have 
always felt that this WG was about removing unreasonable restrictions and 
barriers for people / organisations that wanted to launch their own TLD. I do 
not see why this WG should be trying to solve issues that are better dealt with 
elsewhere and that do not have a direct and tangible impact on an 
organisations' ability to get their own TLD. These are more market issues 
rather than ICANN policy ones.

Several points in section 69 are moot, as they are covered by the existing DAG, 
so why not refer to the DAG's existing criteria for applicant eligibility 
rather than adding more confusion? ie. the bankruptcy / criminal section

Michele
