[registrars] RE: PDP Dec 05: Reserved Names Working Group: response needed

["Nevett, Jonathon" <jnevett@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Registrars:

 

Please see the following note from Liz Williams with the ICANN staff.
Please provide any comments on this issue to Liz, Ray, and the list.  It
doesn't make sense to try to get a formal constituency position in less
than a week.

 

Thanks.

 

Jon

Subject: PDP Dec 05: Reserved Names Working Group: response needed

 

Hello everyone

 

Ray Fassett is chairing a subgroup of the Reserved Names Working  

Group and he's asked me to assist with getting some additional  

information from Constituencies.  Could you please respond to Ray  

directly?

 

"A sub group of the GNSO Reserved Names Working group is examining  

the current practice that requires Registry Operators to reserve from  

registration gTLD strings at the second level (and third level where  

applicable).  The purpose of this work is to advance the progress of  

PDP 05, new TLD's.  At this time, we would like to request your  

feedback to a possible recommendation that would allow for  

registration gTLD strings at the second level.  For example, the  

current practice is that the .jobs Registry Operator requires  

permission from ICANN to unreserve travel.jobs.

 

If this reservation and ICANN approval requirement did not exist for  

new TLD's, what adverse effects, if any, would this have upon the  

members of your constituency?

 

Due the short time line the sub-group is working within to be of  

beneficial service to the work of PDP 05, we respectfully request  

feedback from your constituency no later than end of business day,  

Tuesday May 1, 2007."

 

Many thanks.

 

Liz
