[council] Today's Meetings - comments on GNSO response to ccNSO-GAC IDN issues report

["Rosette, Kristina" <krosette@xxxxxxx>]

All,

I probably will not be participating in today's meetings, but wanted to
send along some comments about the current draft "GNSO Comments in
Response to ccNSO-GAC IDN Issues Report."

It's very well-drafted - many thanks to those of you who worked on it.
I have only one general comment and two specific comments:

General comment:  The use of "should-must-may" appears in some places to
correspond to RFC 2119 and to correspond to the specific question in
others.  If the intention is to use the RFC 2119 convention, it may be
worthwhile to run quickly through the paper to have them conform.

Specific comments:

p. 4, lines 10-18:  I found this answer confusing.  I read the first two
sentences to suggest a desire to avoid a "post award change" (comparable
to the type we've discussed in connection with new gTLD recommendation
20), and the latter to shift the focus to contractual conditions.  If
this answer is referring, for example, to ccTLDs like .tv and .cm, then
it seems inconsistent with the position that we've taken to date w/r/t
new gTLDs in which the applicant claims to target a community, is
awarded the gTLD on that basis, and then no longer targets that
community.  

p. 12, lines 32-33 and 45-46:  These answers seem inconsistent to me.

I'll be on line until about 8:30 AM Delhi time and am happy to answer
questions if you have them.

K
