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
