LACRALO - NUEVOS gTLDs - News gTLDs

Mail de Carlton Samuels:

For those of you who care about what should happen in the event another round of gTLDs is forked by ICANN, this Preliminary Issues Report on Subsequent Procedures would be very important. 

It also a signal it is time for you to get engaged in this process.   

I have read the Executive Summary and gone straight to the details of matters that were of particular interest to me and in my estimation, the folks whose interests I advocate; developing country economies and social systems where the Internet is about social and economic development and could be our final game changer.   

I hope my friend and our colleague Evan Leibovitch is taking note here too. For although he has decreased his activities due to changes in his circumstances, his voice and consistent advocacy for positions that impact us still rings in my head on several of the matters raised in the Report. 

The domain name market remains largely the province of the dominant economies.  Developing economies are still largely excluded by one or other barriers, some of them finely tuned for preference and aided and abetted, consciously and unconsciously, by ICANN policies.  

The Report groups the matters in five (5) broad categories which is quite useful in digesting. But speaking directly to those of us from developing economies and informed by my experience as Co-Chair of the Applicant Support Working Group in the last round, I urge you read closely the details of matters raised in: 

4.2.3  - Competition, Consumer Trust and Choice 

4.2.4  - Engagement

4.2.5  - Applicant Guide Book (AGB)

4.2.6  - Clarity of Application Process

4.2.7  -  Application Accessed in Rounds

4.2.10 -  Application Fees

4.2.11  -  Communications

4.2.14  -  Support for Applicants from Developing Countries

4.2.15  - Different TLD Types

4.2.17  -  Variable Fees

4.3.5   -  Registrar Discrimination

4.3.9   -  Global Public Interest

4.4.5   -  Community Applications

You will find the report (in English) here: http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/new-gtlds/subsequent-procedures-prelim-issue-31aug15-en.pdf  

Please ensure if you have comments you record them in the areas provided by the At-Large or GNSO.

Mail de Leon Sanchez:

Queridxs amigxs,  

Reenvío este mensaje de Carlton Samuels que contiene información importante sobre los lineamientos que debieran seguirse en probables rondas subsecuentes de nuevos gTLDs.  

Como lo menciona Carlton, es importante que revisemos los procedimientos y, especialmente en nuestra región, contribuyamos en los apartados relativos a países en vías de desarrollo.  

Ojalá podamos discutir el tema en la lista y en nuestra próxima llamada mensual.  

Saludos, 

León
