Hi Ching,
I just reviewed the application process description, and it includes
this passage:
/The New gTLD Program Committee (“NGPC”) has also approved the possible
incorporation of an additional clause into Specification 13, with
implementation to take effect no earlier than May 12, 2014, to provide
the GNSO Council an opportunity to advise ICANN regarding Policy
Recommendation 19 on the Introduction of New Generic Top Level Domains.
If the additional clause is incorporated into Specification 13, and if
ICANN determines that the TLD qualifies as a .Brand TLD, the Registry
Agreement for the TLD will include the form of Specification 13 attached
as //*Attachment 2 *//to this .Brand TLD Application Process. If, as a
result of GNSO Council advice or otherwise, Specification 13 is further
modified, an applicant for a TLD that has been determined by ICANN to
qualify as a .Brand TLD will be offered the opportunity to execute an
amendment incorporating such modified Specification 13 as part of the
Registry Agreement. /
//
Notably, the Spec 13 attached in Attachment 1 does not include the
passage that we have been asked to comment on, only the version in
Attachment 2 does. It therefore can be argued that ICANN staff has
implemented the board decision authorizing /the President and CEO, or
his designee, to take all necessary steps to implement Specification 13
to the New //gTLD//Registry Agreement consistent with this resolution/
correctly, by implementing the spec without incorporating the additional
clause. The clause would only come into effect if it is incorporated at
a later time, or never, depending on our response and the ultimate NGPC
decision.
This process does not substantially affect our task, however it puts us
on the clock.
Best regards,
Volker

Dear colleagues,
I assume some of you received the notification below.
This is a clear evidence that the ICANN staff choose to proceed with
.brand implementation WITHOUT GNSO's confirmation as requested by the
Board.

Dear Applicants and Registry Operators:
On 26 March 2014, the New gTLD Program Committee (“NGPC”) of the ICANN
Board approved the Registry Agreement Specification 13 for .Brand
TLDs. View this resolution at:
http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/resolutions-new-gtld-26mar14-en.htm.
As per this resolution a process for requesting and evaluating
applications for Specification 13 to the New gTLD Registry Agreement
has been published at
http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/agb/base-agreement-spec-13-application-form-11apr14-en.docx.
We encourage you to read the resolution referenced above as well as
Specification 13 to determine whether it is applicable to you. If you
would like to submit an application for Specification 13, please
follow the process described in Q1, Q2, or Q3 of the /Specification 13
to the Registry Agreement FAQs/ posted at
http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/agb/base-agreement-spec-13-faqs-14apr14-en.pdf.
Please note that ICANN will post all applications for .Brand TLD
designation for public comment for a period of 30 calendar days. The
posting of these applications for public comment does not mean and
should not be construed as a determination by ICANN that the TLD meets
the criteria to be qualified as a .Brand TLD. Even if no public
comments are received objecting to the designation of a TLD as a
.Brand TLD, ICANN will review the re-application and may determine
that the TLD does not qualify as a .Brand TLD.
If you have previously submitted a Code of Conduct exemption request,
please let us know via the Customer Service Center atnewgtld@xxxxxxxxx
<mailto:newgtld@xxxxxxxxx> or
https://myicann.secure.force.com/ whether you intend to also
submitting an application for .Brand TLD designation. As much as
possible, ICANN will try to process the two requests together.
If you have any questions regarding Specification 13 or this email
notification, please contact the Customer Service Center
atnewgtld@xxxxxxxxx <mailto:newgtld@xxxxxxxxx>.
