RE: [ga] Status of the Review Task Force

["Gomes, Chuck" <cgomes@verisign.com>]

Paul,

I would assume that the primary way of implementing policy with ccTLDs would
be via contracts with ICANN, just like with gTLDs.

My question was really oriented toward whether or not people thought that
the competitive marketplace should be relatively level for all competitors
in the same market (e.g., open TLDs).  Some apparently think that that is
not necessary; in other words, some think it is okay to apply different
standards to some registries than to others, thereby putting some at a
possible disadvantage.  With the possible exception of policies relating to
local laws and customs, I tend to think that the competitive playing field
should be as level as possible.  And I think it is important to realize that
this is not just a .com issue.  Should the new registries have more rigid
restrictions in operating their businesses than ccTLD registries with whom
they are competing?

Chuck,

If they do so with the (implied or expressed) support of the
government of the country or territory designated by the ccTLD,
how would you plan to stop them ?
