alac New gTLDs on GNSO Council- May 22, 2003 From: Wendy Seltzer <wendy&x40;xxxxxxxxxxx> ------- The GNSO Council will convene by conference call tomorrow (5 a.m. Pacific time!). Thomas and I will be there as ALAC liaisons (I limited to the gTLDs issues). The Council intends to finalize its report to the Board in response to the question of structuring the namespace, and there is still some disagreement over whether the answer will be a narrow response or a more extended discussion of objectives and criteria.

Perhaps we could invite technical commentary on how this redirection affects DNS queries that expect particular behavior when a name is unregistered -- it's not just about the trademark holders.

Our comments advocate opening the namespace to market competition, which we'd expect to increase selection and lower prices, both of which benefit consumers as purchasers of domain names and as Internet users. 2. Our earlier comments and the gTLD Committee draft recommend avoiding names that appear confusingly similar to existing names, and thus that could.http://forum.icann.org/mail-archive/alac/msg00282.html Re: alac ALAC concerns re: gtld-com Draft Final report gTLD committee- May 19, 2003 From: Erick Iriarte Ahon <faia&x40;xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ------- Hi Wendy maybe i don't read good, but i don't read nothing about "consumer protection" in the documents, maybe as At-large rep. we can sugest something in this way.
