Item 4: Implementation of New gTLD Recommendation 2 (confusingly similar
names) 

Proposed Motion - New gTLD Recommendation (as amended June 2) 
Made by: Edmon Chung
Seconded by: Rafik Dammak 
Note: The original motion was discussed in the Council meeting on 20 May and
deferred to 10 June. In making the amended motion, Edmon submitted a redline
version to the Council list on 2 June 2010
(http://gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/council/msg08962.html) and
Rafik accepted the amendment as friendly on 4 June 2010
(http://gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/council/msg09000.html)

WHEREAS: 
. The Draft Applicant Guidebook, Version 3 does not include an Extended
Review option for strings that fail the initial evaluation for confusing
similarity and likelihood to confuse;

. The GNSO Council recognizes that time is of the essence in sending
feedback to ICANN staff on the Draft Applicant Guidebook;

. The IDNG Drafting Team established by the GNSO Council has discussed
various circumstances where applicants for strings that may be designated as
confusingly similar in the initial evaluation may be able to present a case
showing that the string is not detrimentally similar to another string;

. The GNSO Council in Recommendation #2 on the GNSO Final Report on the
Introduction of New gTLDs in September 2007 intended to prevent confusing
and detrimental similarity and not similarity that could serve the users of
the Internet;

RESOLVED: 
. A 21-day public comment period be opened not later than 11 June 2010
regarding a proposal to send the following letter to Kurt Pritz (with copy
to the ICANN Board), requesting that Module 2 in the next version of the
Draft Applicant Guidebook regarding "Outcomes of the String Similarity
Review" be amended to allow applicants to request an Extended Review under
applicable terms similar to those provided for other issues such as "DNS
Stability: String Review Procedure".

. ICANN Staff prepare a summary and analysis of the public comments not
later than 6 July 2010. 
. The GNSO Council takes action in its meeting of 15 July 2010 regarding
whether or not to send the letter. 
PROPOSED LETTER: 
To: Kurt Pritz and members of the ICANN New GTLD Implementation Team,
CC: ICANN Board 
The GNSO Council requests a change to Module 2 of the Draft Applicant
Guidebook. Specifically, we request that the section on "Outcomes of the
String Similarity Review" be amended to allow applicants to request an
Extended Review under applicable terms similar to those provided for other
issues such as "DNS Stability: String Review Procedure". We further request
that a section be added on "String Similarity - Extended Review" that
parallels other such sections in Module 2.

This request is seen as urgent because there are conditions under which it
may be justified for applicants for a string which has been denied further
processing based on confusing similarity by the Initial Evaluation to
request an extended evaluation. This Extended Review would evaluate
extenuating circumstances in the application which may be such that the
similarity is not actually detrimental. This may occur, inter alia, in cases
such as:

. The same Registry Operator (for an existing gTLD or a proposed new gTLD)
could apply for a string that is similar to an existing or applied for
string in a manner that is not detrimentally similar from a user point of
view. For example, it is possible that an applicant could apply for both a
gTLD with a conventional ASCII label and a corresponding internationalized
gTLD (IDN gTLD) that could be deemed to be similar but not cause the
detrimental confusion that the GNSO recommendation was trying to avoid.

. A situation where there is an agreement between a new applicant Registry
Operator and the Registry Operator of an existing gTLD that allows for
better service for the users in the geographical area where the new gTLD
will be offered. For example, MuseDoma, the Registry Operator for .museum
could enter into an agreement with a new gTLD applicant to offer an IDN
version of .museum for a specific language community. The two strings might
be judged to be similar but their delegation would not cause detrimental
confusion.

We thank you for your prompt attention to this GNSO Council request. 

Item 5: AGP Policy questions 

*	Should the Council consider modifying the AGP Limits Policy to no
longer require semi-annual updates? 
*	Should the Council consider modifying the AGP Limits Policy by
defining the terms "extraordinary circumstances" or "reoccur regularly? For
example: 

*	Should instances of consumer fraud automatically be a legitimate use
of AGP deletes? 
*	If a registrar proactively takes down (i.e., deletes) domains that
are known to propagate a fraudulent activity such as phishing, should the
registrar bear the cost if the deletions cause the registrar to exceed the
threshold defined in the Policy?
