There are few things more defeating to the human spirit (including the spirit of applicants) than arbitrary, capricious or unpredictable results for like situations. In WT5 we have had some good discussion on principles like “</span><span style="text-indent: -26px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Increasing predictability for all parties” as well as “simplicity</span><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><span style="text-indent: -26px;">– simple to understand, follow, and implement policies and procedures”,</span></span> concepts that are quite akin to “legality” and the “rule of law” in wider discussions. It will be a triumph for the whole Community if we end up with new gTLD policies that are non-contradictory, standardized, predictable, easy to find and understand, and of course are legitimized by a strong consensus.</div><div><br><div id="AppleMailSignature">Javier Rúa-Jovet<div><br></div><div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">+1-787-396-6511</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">twitter: @javrua</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">skype: javier.rua1</span></div><div><font color="#000000" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/javrua" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">https://www.linkedin.com/in/javrua</a> </font></div><div><br></div></div></div><div><br>On Jul 14, 2018, at 10:05 AM, Carlos Raul Gutierrez <<a href="mailto:carlosraul@gutierrez.se">carlosraul@gutierrez.se</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<p>Thanks for chiming in Javier!</p>
<p>The biggest lesson I carry from my work with Carlton in the CCT-RT is that while the "one-size-fist-all" framework for application and evaluation is quite use full and profitable for $ 185k per application, all wins get more than destroyed in the asymetric conditions for delegation.</p>
<p>A purely economic appraisal as Carlton suggests, is poisonous to the people that still believe in the interest of small cultural, linguistic and sub-regional communities that still beg for a reasonable access to the DNS.</p>
<p>I wish you a very nice Sunday</p>

<p>Dear Carlton,</p>
<p>I support your suggestion of following up on the (market) success, or lack of it, of individual new gTLDs.</p>
<p>But to make it effective, my suggestion has always been to do it within the categories segment of the Subsequent Procedures PDP.</p>
<p>I see a great difference between a single firm, which sees no economic sense in spending defensive or marketing money on their own ¨Brand¨ TLD on the one side, and a very small country and/or geographic sub-unit (particular if bound by some common cultural traits) that wants to develop its internet presence, even if they will have to subsidize it TLD, by hosting it in a public entity (like fundacion .cat). In the second case I would worry much more, if the TLD dies or gets acquired for other purposes</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Wish you a nice weekend</p>
