From the chat:
Anne Aikman-Scalese (IPC): @Avir and Jeff re Strawperson on geo names - it is going to be tough when you ask the country whether the name is protected by national legal right or not.
Anne Aikman-Scalese (IPC): *@Avri - not Avir!
Jeff Neuman: Thanks....been having some power issues at my home
Jeff Neuman: But I am back
Jeff Neuman: Strawbunnies hopped away
avri doria: Anne, just one of the challenging subjects, I expect
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): Yes this is an aspirational Agenda... To Be Continued if needs be..
Anne Aikman-Scalese (IPC): @Avri - yes - but Strawperson very interesting for discussion!
Anne Aikman-Scalese (IPC): QUESTION: Does previously approved "infrastructure" mean a previously approved back-end provider? QUESTION
Anne Aikman-Scalese (IPC): I just dont know what "infrastructure' means
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): I agree Harmonized language will be useful///
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): Yes All tracks
Anne Aikman-Scalese (IPC): Agree about harmonized language. How does a new provider get approved
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): and a glossary in our reports
Anne Aikman-Scalese (IPC): QUESTION: Are we suggesting that timing of consideration/evaluation of an application would depend on who the back-end provider is? QUESTION
Anne Aikman-Scalese (IPC): COMMENT: That seems prejudicial to new entrants in the arena of back-end registry operator services if so. COMMENT
Anne Aikman-Scalese (IPC): Thanks Ruben for clarifying it does not affect priority of evaluation. But even if it speeds things up in terms of evaluation, it might be prejudicial to new entrants because applicants won't choose new entrants.
