[council] Draft Agenda for New gTLD meeting 16 Jan




Hi

Based on what I have heard spoken of so far, the following is a draft agenda for the New gTLD meeting on 15 January.


1 - Discuss areas at variance with GNSO policy principles, recommendations and guidelines. Possible areas include, i.a.:

- Principle G: Do the review criteria infringe on freedom of expression
    -  Recommendation 1: Are the price levels discriminatory?
    -  Recommendation 2:  Extent of confusing similarity
     - Recommendation 5: Reserved names issues
        - geographic
         - 2 char IDN
- Recommendation 17: what is the clear compliance and sanctions process? - IG B: Recommended cost based fees with different applicants paying different fees. Are these fees really cost based? Are some applicants subsidizing other applicants? - IG F: Board resolution process was recommended instead of Auction - IG O: Are there any plans for a fee reduction schedule for gTLS applicants from economies classified as least developed?
    - Others?

2 - Discuss the motions we passed vis a vis new gTLDs
   - introducion of idn tlds
   - Implementation guideline (IG) E

3 - Discuss the comments received

4 - Discuss follow-up process to this meeting
