    Hi Brian,<br>
    <br>
    I think you misunderstand. We do not assume a Single User-Single
    Registrant model in our statements. We are fuly aware that the
    Specification allows registrations also to affiliates and certain
    licensees. However, by crafting registration policies and
    accreditation rules carefully, dotBrand owners can differentiate.
    Just look at .WED for a registry almost no registrar is currently
    interested in carrying. Further, they can discriminate freely on the
    registrant level. <br>
    <br>
    Therefore, on a purely outcome-oriented level, it is our opinion
    that everything that is intended to be achieved by this language can
    already be achieved under the current rules. <br>
    <br>
    Finally, outcomes put aside, on a purely legalistic level, we are
    currently looking at contradicting languages. While Rec 19
    recommends one thing, the proposed language sets out to create a
    loophole for just that thing Rec 19 seeks to prevent. This is
    inconsistency per definition, no matter how well-intentioned and
    worthwhile the intent is. To go beyond the language of Rec 19,
    additional policy work of some form is needed. As many
    constituencies have argued for a long time, the council does not
    have the role of deciding or setting aside policy on its own, it
    merely structures and channels the process.<br>
    <br>
    Best regards,<br>
    <br>
    Volker Greimann<br>

style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;color:black">First,
            the RrSG position seems based on an assumption that dot
            Brand registries will be the sole registrant for bulk
            transfer and registrar selection purposes, whereas
            Specification Thirteen clearly permits Affiliates and
            Trademark Licensees to register names as well, thus
            complicating matters a bit.  Second, the RrSG position seems
            to encourage dot brand registries to discriminate among
            registrars using registration policies, or perhaps other 
</span><span

            Affiliates and Trademark Licensees, at their own peril. 
            Absent any assurances from ICANN legal regarding the
            propriety of these indirect work-around suggestions, I
            imagine that dot Brands would be much more comfortable with
            the direct and
            <i>formal</i> provision in the Registry Agreement that is
            presently under consideration by the Council.  As I
            understand it, that is why the provision is necessary in the
            first place—so dot Brands cannot be alleged to violate the
            Registry Agreement in accrediting only one or two preferred
            corporate registrars.  <o:p></o:p></span></p>

                  <pre>Just to add to Volker¹s comments:<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
                  <pre>Registrars have had a vigorous discussion on this topic, 
and provided<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>feedback from diverse viewpoints.  But on the narrow 
question--whether<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>Spec 13 is compatible with Rec 19‹we generally believe 
it is not.<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
                  <pre>We recognize that dot-BRAND applicants and TLDs are a 
new part of the<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>domain name ecosystem, and will have unique interests 
not shared by other<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>TLDs.  For example, we whole-heartedly agree with the 
proposed<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>restrictions in Spec 13 on ICANN¹s ability to 
re-delegate a string that<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>was formerly part of a dot-BRAND.  However, we do not 
agree with the<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>assertion that these TLDs must be formally allowed to 
discriminate among<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>ICANN-accredited registrars.<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
                  <pre>In response to the concerns raised by proponents of Spec 
13, about being<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>beholden to a single registrar/service provider, we 
would point out that,<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>as the Registry and Registrant, they would possess sole 
authority to<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>execute a bulk transfer to a new exclusive 
registrar/service provider<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>under existing ICANN policy.  Additionally, to address 
concerns about<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>³trusted² vs. ³untrusted² registrar/service providers, 
we would note that,<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>as the Registrant, they would be able to choose the 
services of any<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>registrar (or group of registrars) of their choosing, 
without the need to<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>include this language in the Registry Agreement.  In 
fact, this concern is<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>only legitimate in the scenario where the dot-BRAND TLD 
later extends<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>registrations to unaffiliated third 
parties.<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
                  <pre>In summary, Registrars do not believe that this 
component of Spec 13 is<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>compatible with Recommendation 19 of the original new 
gTLD policy, and<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>that while dot-Brand are likely to encounter concerns 
unique to their new<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>category of TLD, these issues can be addressed under 
existing policy.<o:p></o:p></pre>

                  <pre>Dear council-members,<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
                  <pre>after extensive discussion of the question put before 
us, the RrSG has<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>likewise found this excemption to be inconsistent with 
both the language<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>as well as with the spirit of the 
recommendation.<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
                  <pre>The question we have been asked is not whether we like 
the proposed<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>exemption or can live with it, but rather a very simple 
one: Is the<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>proposed incorporation of an ability to restrict 
nondiscriminatory<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>registrar access to dotBrand TLDs is not consistent 
with<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre> the intent and wording of Recommendation 19, or is it 
not. The<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>recommendation explicitly states that "Registries  (...) 
may not<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>discriminate among (ICANN) accredited registrars". In 
other words, the<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>language of the Recommendation 19 contradicts the 
proposed<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre> exemption. <o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
                  <pre>Therefore, to find the additional language to be 
consistent with the<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>recommendation requires substantial arguments to that 
effect that would<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>allow such an interpretation. To find it consistent 
because one likes the<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>result or can live with the result does 
not<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre> fulfill this requirement. For such cases where 
implementation would<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>conflict with existing policy, further policy work 
adjusting or confirming<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>the Policy Recommendation is required. The GNSO Council 
should take the<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>lead in initiating this policy work.<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
                  <pre>Beyond the grammatical inconsistency of the 
Recommendation, the intent of<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>the Recommendation also indicates 
inconsistency.<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
                  <pre>As detailed in the final report on the Introduction of 
New Generic Top<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>Level Domains, the recommendation was supported by all 
GNSO Constituencies<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>and Mrs Doria. According to the recollections of members 
of the new gTLD<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>policy committee at the time the 
Recommendation<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre> was agreed upon, the concept of restricting registrar 
access was<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>discussed in the context of community TLDs, which are in 
many ways similar<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>to dotBrands. As registries have the ability under the 
Registry Agreement<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>to restrict registrar access to their 
TLDs<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre> by establishing reasonable, nondiscriminatory 
accreditation criteria, it<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>was ultimately agreed that discrimintation between 
registrars should not<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>be permitted.<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
                  <pre>In fact, the only public comment with regard to this 
recommendation came<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>from the RyC, which was concerned that small, 
specialized registries may<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>not be able to find a registrar to carry them. Note that 
this concern<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>deals with a completely different 
problem.<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre> This concern led to the Vertical Integration Working 
group and the<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>subsequent board decision allowing vertical integration. 
The idea of<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>allowing only a few registrars does not appear in the 
Final Report.<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
                  <pre>Finally, as registrants, dotBrands are perfectly free to 
discriminate<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>between registrars. The Recommendation only deals with 
registries. By<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>establishing certain registration requirements and 
policies, registries<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre>can further eliminate the ability of 
registrars<o:p></o:p></pre>
                  <pre> to provide registry services beyond the eligible circle 
of registrants.<o:p></o:p></pre>
