[At-Large] Question about Specification 11

[Thomas Lowenhaupt]

Fellow At-Large Members,

Concerning Public Interest Commitments for the .nyc TLD,

SPECIFICATION 11, 3., c. 
<https://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/tlds/nyc/nyc-agmt-html-23jan14-en.htm>of 
the ICANN agreement says:

c.Registry Operator will operate the TLD in a transparent manner 
consistent with general principles of openness and non-discrimination by 
establishing, publishing and adhering to clear registration policies.

Can someone refer me to an explanation about this. For example, the 
phrases "transparent manner," "general principles of openness," 
"non-discrimination," and "clear registration policies" are unclear. Are 
there definitions? Have there been challenges to Spec. 11 that might 
shed light?

Best,
