[council] RE: Council discussion on new gTLDs

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

I think it would be helpful for the questions or issues raised to be identified 
before we delve into the substance (e.g. Some comments raised questions of 
whether X is consistent with Principle G).

Guidelines for the meeting

keep to the topic under discussion
no need to repeat questions/issues someone else made not a time to bring up new 
objections to the implementation plan, only to understand issues as they relate 
to the principles/recommendations and implementation guidelines we are not here 
to discuss the value of the initial recommendation. i.e. that is off topic. 
we will see were we get by the end of 2 hours and figure out what to do next. 
Topics

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 identifiers
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 for Staff Clarification 
purposes

introduction of IDN TLDs
Implementation guideline (IG) E
3 - Staff Overview on the comments received

4 - Discuss follow-up process to this meeting

Are further comments necessary or has this meeting been sufficient? 
If we need a Design Team to create a comments paper - Who will do it? 
when would it need to be avaialble to be useful? 
or should it wait until after the next revision if the problems still exist.
