Monday 6 - stored opening day of ICANN Cartagena meet - ICA a request that the deadline for comments on the proposed final ICANN gTLDs expand applicant Guidebook for new by you 2-3 weeks beyond its original end date of Friday, December 10. Our letter (available at http://forum.icann.org/lists/5gtld-guide/msg00021.html) partly explains:
The 28 days to comment on this AG allowed is assigned; just more than half the average time (50 days) for comment on the four previous iterations the Guidebook a 2-3 weeks extension would provide the time comment in accordance with that provided for earlier versions. This fifth version of AG contains not only proposed decisions of the previously discussed issues but substantial new material that we work with to assimilate and understand. Many members of ICA are present in Cartagena and busy attending meetings and connecting with staff in this experiment, but meaningful participation in Cartagena meetings mitigates comment for review by our membership whose template in just four days informed to prepare a letter above.
ICANN was unmoved at the time, and we and others filed comments in the middle of the Cartagena session - even after it became clear that a Board vote the Guidebook only a few hours after the end of the period cause comment, a cry from many corners of the ICANN community that would approve.
We thought the matter closed. Then, on Friday, 17, ICANN took the unprecedented step reopening and expand the comment deadline by one month, until January 15, 2011, with no explanation except that it "take in account public comment and decisions at ICANN Cartagena take was". (http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-2-17dec10-en.htm)
Although we this decision preferred would, before we filed our first comments, we welcome it yet. ICA intends to supplement its initial notification with more detailed proposals for amendment of the Guidebook language to the disqualification of the potential gTLD applicants who have lost UDRP decisions. The ICANN Board also want we urge to glue, its position that the leaders of the treatments of the brand are protections essentially when closed it meets with the GAC in February. The Board of appeal September door closed decision to shorten the standard response time to URS submissions from 20 to 14 days only Registrant for proper with no reasonable reduction of the trade mark sacrificed interest lobbying. All other "improvements" to the guidebook's rights protection mechanisms are undercut the GNSO's leadership governance and open again settled matters in a way, that probably further delay the opening of the application window.
