Description:

ICANN should explicitly consider the following questions regarding trial delegation and clearly articulate what choices have been made and why as part of its decision as to whether or not to delegate any TLD on a trial basis:

  • Purpose of the trial: What type of trial is to be conducted? What data are to be collected?
  • Operation of the trial: Should ICANN (or a designated agent) operate the trial or should the applicant operate it?
  • Emergency Rollback: What are the emergency rollback decision and execution procedures for any delegation in the root, and have the root zone partners exercised these capabilities?
  • Termination of the trial:
    • What are the criteria for terminating the trial (both normal and emergency criteria)?
    • What is to be done with the data collected?
    • Who makes the decision on what the next step in the delegation process is?
