PROPOSED AGENDA: 

  1. Roll call and updates to SOIs.
  2. Selection of Sub Team leadership
  3. Begin refinement of Charter questions for Sunrise Registrations (attached):

Specifically, identify the following:

  • What questions can be consolidated?
  • What questions, if any, may need to be clarified, and how?
  • What questions, if any, should be deleted (e.g. because they are duplicates or because they have been discussed or resolved by the Working Group)?
  • What, if any, data might be needed to address any question fully? Are there existing or identifiable sources from which that data can be requested?
  • What gaps (if any) exist that are not addressed by the existing questions; if one is identified, what is the question that needs to be answered?

Action Items and Notes:


Action Items:

  1.  Staff to compile information on context/origin of each question by the next Sub Team call (e.g. how much support for a particular question in the past, or was it one suggestion)
  2. Sub Team agreed to "bunch" similar questions together (but not necessarily redrafting - see notes on adding footnotes to facilitate clarity)
  3. Staff/Sub Team Leadership to set up a Google Doc for first pass of consolidation of questions - second pass for refinement of questions
  4. Sub Team members have 5 days (Wednesday, 19 April) to send suggestions to the mailing list, to be captured by staff in the Google Doc, and circulated to the Sub Team by Friday, 21 April.

 

 Notes:

  1. Lori Schulman selected as Sub Team Chair
  2. Discussion on Charter questions for Sunrise Registrations
    • What questions can be consolidated/refined?
    • Are premium names relevant to this Sub Team or even the Working Group? Premium names not considered RPMs
      • From AC Chat: I think the issue for premium names is around setting of pricing which effectively circumvents the sunrise and how do you address that as a brand owner if you have no route of objection
      • If pricing of premium names is interfering with the ability to use RPMs (such as trademark holders registrations during sunrise), might be within scope of the working group to discuss
      • Pricing during sunrise makes the benefits of sunrise economically difficult for trademark holders to take advantage of
      • Sub Team can go through questions - refine so that they make sense - use liaisons to new gTLD sub pro PDP to coordinate how they are addressed
      • Instead of redrafting questions, bucket questions together including those that may be similar or identical
      • Investigate instances when premium names interfere with sunrise registrations to determine the extent to which it may actually be problematic
    • From AC Chat: Brand owners are not the only party with "special rights" in accordance to Sunrise,  GEO TLDs need to deliver domains for public services/streets/monuments e.t.c. to the Municipal Entity of the City... for example
    • Adding context to questions may be helpful in addressing them (suggestion by staff - staff can investigate origins of questions being considered) - contextual information could be to determine/clarify if questions address longstanding problems identified by the community vs a question that came up once, and was included
      • From AC Chat: I'm not sure it makes sense to research where a Charter question came from. What's more relevant is the level of interest it merits within the WG
      • Add notes/footnotes to questions that may be redundant or where meaning is not clear for clarification - as alternative to redrafting
    • ACTION ITEM: Sub Team members to review questions for redundancy, and make suggestions on-list (use Google Docs)
  3. Preference expressed to hold next Sub Team call next Friday at UTC 14:00 (60 minutes with ability to extend to 90 minutes) to give Sub Team enough time to consolidate/refine questions - ACTION ITEM: Confirm next call day/time on-list
    ACTION ITEM: Aim for Wednesday for initial comments on question, so that staff can prepare and circulate document before Friday
