Re: [ga] New gTLDs consensus process at ICANNwiki


But, do you and danny think we can discuss gTLDs, ccTLDs, and sTLDs all at the same time with all the same policies and discussions going on for each. Or do you see each of these being topics to discuss separately as not to be confusing?

Some people are more concerned about gTLDs, others, ccTLDs, and still others only sTLDs. (These are not the ONLY possibilities, just limiting it to 3 to ask my questions here)

Shouldn't we have some type of format to create working groups for discussions relating to each and even sub-WGs on specific elements of each? Shouldn't the ALAC and the GNSO be requesting this to be done and shouldn't they be requesting this type of input.

A lot of board members and others complain this list is always saying they are doing a bad job, however there are people on this list that could be great contributors to the whole process if they would stop and make use of this FREE resource.

If the people on this list all offered to help me improve my business and offered to do it for free, I would believe GOD has blessed me immensley and would utilize the resource to it's fullest potential.

Question is, why hasn't ICANN, the DNSO, the ALAC, and others done so?

With the same reason of Danny, I also object to framing the issue with
the term "gTLDs".

Hello Ted,

I object to framing the issue with the term "gTLDs" as
I see no reason to limit the discussion to this
particular subset of new Top-Level Domains.

ICANN also needs non-gTLD policy development
activities relating to the introduction of Top-Level
Domains with IDN Labels -- for example (new
IDN-ccTLDs).

By way of illustration, the managers of the Gulf
Cooperation Council (GCC) ccTLDs (i.e., ae, bh, kw,
om, qa, sa) agreed in 2004 to initiate a pilot arabic
domain name testbed to be managed under the auspices
of the Arab League.

I see no reason why the fruits of their work-product
should come to be regarded as a generic TLD (and
discussed as if part of the gTLD family of domains)
when the policies for this namespace should be under
the purview of the relevant ccTLD managers rather than
the GNSO constituencies.  I don't buy into the
argument that anything that is not a ccTLD is
necessarily a gTLD, and I don't accept a gTLD-centric
approach to the introduction of new TLDs.

Hope this helps...

Danny
