> Draft for comment on geoTLD by Annette:

Hi Annette,

if we want to say something on new gTLDs, it'd better be something more 
focused on specific recommendations (y'all read the document, right?).

If I get it well, your objective is to promote geoTLDs and in general 
non-profit TLDs having social/cultural purposes - if that's the purpose, 
I suggest that some things we might want to say are:

- in recommendations 7-8, technical, financial and operational criteria 
that are required to applicants should be kept to a bare minimum, and 
proportionate to the intended size and type of the TLD. It should also 
be recognized as objective that of promoting the creation of registry 
operations in developing countries and in other parts of the world, even 
if this implies that these new registries will initially be less 
reliable than their existing counterparts.

- recommendation 19 should be amended so that small scale TLDs aren't 
obliged to deploy .com-scale technical and commercial procedures to 
interface with hundreds of ICANN accredited registrars around the world. 
The requirement to support all accredited registrars must be kept for 
global, commercial oriented TLDs, but should be dropped for TLDs with 
less than 50'000-100'000 registrations, or in TLDs where there is no 
need for registration intermediaries (for example, those reserved to 
accredited members of an organization which is sponsoring the registry).

Regards,
