Jonathan,

I noted that Klaus on the Council list asked this question:

BTW: what happens if a brand gTLD decides down the road to give up
exclusivity and become available for general use, at some point that might
make perfect business sense.

 

As I cannot post to Council, perhaps you would do so for me.

 

Its a legitimate question and one also asked by ICANN legal staff.

The answer is in other provisions of Spec 13. In the circumstances described
by Klaus, all of Spec 13 would immediately no longer apply, and the default
RA would apply instead.

 

Philip
