Tatiana Tropina:Avri - that's what I am going to do.
Jorge Cancio (GAC Switzerland):"no" usually means also "no" in English :-)
avri doria:funny Jorge
Kavouss Arasteh:The reason that O PRPOSED EXTENSION WAS DUE TO 4 DAYS OF BRIDGE HOLIDAYS( eASTER)
Kavouss Arasteh:Sorry for Cap
avri doria:but ICANN almost alwasy needs fuzzy deadlines.
avri doria:it isn't just holidays, it is the massive numer for open comments.
avri doria:same thing happened at NCSG call this morning
Jorge Cancio (GAC Switzerland):I just note that apparently we have little feedback from registries and registrars (or their constituencies)...
Kavouss Arasteh:Jorge, It is obvious as they were against questions
Milton Mueller:Some non-American registrars may be afraid to response
Milton Mueller:respond
David McAuley (RySG):05:00 UTC
Brenda Brewer:Responses to Questionnaire are posted here: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_x_UpXRAw&d=DwICaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=kbiQDH54980u4nTPfwdloDLY6-6F24x0ArAvhdeDvvc&m=Xrn_rFsZtvXyPKxTJ9kDsvn4wNTu124xW1G3luat0mA&s=1aofN0sCu5TQ9FZ4ihQo7_h6yDR7Uo15r3WWdeEHhy8&e=
Jorge Cancio (GAC Switzerland):@Kavouss: there are +1000 registries... and many registrars... many might have issues, but apparently this exercise was not interesting enough to them
Bernard Turcotte Staff Support:1 AM for Washington David
David McAuley (RySG): oh joy
David McAuley (RySG):plenary next day at same time
Jorge Cancio (GAC Switzerland):@Milton: why would they be afraid to respond?
Kavouss Arasteh:I am happy that I was not involved in this initiative, read transcrip .But once other decided for 3 Qs ,few people including me asked for additional questions
avri doria:No longer invovlved, but still may be deemed as having granted the monopoly power.
David McAuley (RySG):Interesting background, Milton, thank you
Milton Mueller:I am hearing you
David McAuley (RySG):i could hear Greg
David McAuley (RySG):yes
Bernard Turcotte Staff Support:Time Check - 30 minutes left in call
Kavouss Arasteh:Milton, Is really ICANN able to do this type of monopolization after treansition
avri doria:i thik until it is challenged, it is diffcult to call it definitiely. Depends on how they interpret the NTIA grant to ICANN when it turned everything over.
Milton Mueller:there is no NTIA grant to ICANN
Milton Mueller:there was an end to its contract
David McAuley (RySG):I think that is a fair statement Greg
avri doria:Milton, i will be interested to see how future cases argue it and how it is treated.
Milton Mueller:Kavouss: if ICANN passed a policy that was proposed by registrars and registries that substantially restricted competition in the domain name market it could be sued on antitrust grounds
David McAuley (RySG):The "no amendment would cure language by the court is also interssting
Kavouss Arasteh:somebody is typing
David McAuley (RySG):that was me sorry
Erich Schweighofer:Does that mean that ICANN is subject to control of monopolisation, e.g. abuse of a dominant market position.
David McAuley (RySG):I cannot answer that one Erich
Milton Mueller:What was the settlement, Raphael?
Jorge Cancio (GAC Switzerland):what could be the reasons for not specifying the applicable law?
Milton Mueller:Who caved ? ICANN or .JOBs?
Jorge Cancio (GAC Switzerland):nobody does such a thing without a reason...
Milton Mueller:right
Jorge Cancio (GAC Switzerland):(being a well-advised corporation)
Raphael Beauregard-Lacroix:alright
Bernard Turcotte Staff Support:who wil ask?
Milton Mueller:I think Jorge has volunrteered
Milton Mueller::-)
Bernard Turcotte Staff Support:14 minutes left in call
Jorge Cancio (GAC Switzerland):I trust Greg will formulate much more precisely than I could... but thanks for the heterovolunteering :-)
David McAuley (RySG):I like Becky's term: voluntold
Jorge Cancio (GAC Switzerland)::P
Bernard Turcotte Staff Support:yes it was Sam Eisner
Jorge Cancio (GAC Switzerland):we just had a follow-up question before...
