RE: [council] MOTION TO CREATE JOINT SO/AC WORKING GROUP ON NEW GTLD APPLICANT SUPPORT


Adrian
 
I don't think we are in major disagreement.  
 
I wasn't online for Nairobi and haven't reviewed Kurt's presentation.  A
gated process was one option to jump-start TLD registration.   If they can
handle the volume they expect, then we need to continue on that path; my
impressions from Seoul and between was that they really didn't know what
volume they could process reasonably thus I continued to look at the option
for a gated process to start the TLDs.
 
I just want to see some way for us to start accepting and processing
applications as soon as possible.  Nothing ever solves problems as well as
forcing your operations staff to inititate new processes/capabilities; until
they have to deal with it daily as a routine event, it is a mental exercise.
 
Take care
Terry

Terry,
 
I am dead against a "gated process" at this late stage. If the GNSO Council
wanted that it should have considered them in the original recommendations.
 
We are close enough now where staff have made the appropriate contingencies
to handle the projected volume as described by Kurt in Nairobi. Changing
this now (like the EOI process) will create more problems than it solves. I
do not even consider that we debate it.
 
This approach would therefore encompass NOT allowing for "disadvantaged"
applicants to be carved out - which I am lead to believe is NOT the purpose
nor one of the possible outcomes of the Support WG anyway.
 
Thanks.

Council
 
I'm going to be a bit cross-wise here.
 
To be honest, I'd rather see us working on a "gated process" to begin moving
TLD applications forward, even if it is only going to be 1 or 2 per month.
Until we start accepting and processing the TLD applications, we have no
real idea what requirements for staff and the associated timelines will be.
Getting the application process moving seems key to me.
 
Working on yet another set of processes that will take considerable time to
sort out for "dis-advantage" (meaning is open to me anyway) applicants would
only seem to add to the initial opening of the TLD process.  ??
 
Just my thoughts, please feel free to return other options/opinions; I'm
very interested in hearing them.
 
Take care
Terry

I am not sure that helps the discussion.
 
It is frustrating as a councillor and professional with limited time to have
to keep poking...
 
Can you please elaborate as to why this is not a friendly amendment.
