Re: [registrars] Position Paper??

["Ivan Vachovsky" <ivan@abac.com>]

Michael,
Fellow Registrars,

Abacus is applying for 5 new non-restricted  gTLD.
.biz; .inc; .cool; .fam and .xxx

Abacus is the only applicant getting 4 of it's proposed
new TLD on TOP 10 LIST by MSNBC public pool.

http://www.msnbc.com/modules/surveys/domainname.asp

This means that there is a market and business opportunity
for all of us.

Our application is extremely Registrar - friendly.

We declare that we will be Registry ONLY for
the new gTLD assigned to us, in our application .
We will NOT compete with the registrars.

Our proposal does cover practically all of the issues addressed by
Mike below. Furthermore it has provisioning for significant ( in $ millions)
marketing campaign, where we will refer consumers to a list of
all Regsitrars working with us.

Our proposal is based on RRP server, so that Regitrars do not need
to change the technology at their end.

Our technology is ready to go. Test drive it at http://rodopi.abac.net
and test register .biz name today.

We at Abacus will appreciate it highly if the Registrar constituency
supports our application at the upcoming ICANN meeting in L.A.
and at the second public forum at ICANN web site.

See you in L.A.

Best Regards,

I have a list of those consensus items (see below) and can put them together
in a report rather quickly. I feel a report like this would be similar to
the ISPC and Business Constituency. I do not believe that we can objectively
create a report like the IPC ranking the proposals because of all of the
registrars participating in various proposal.

. Must be new TLDs.
. Must be generic TLDs in testbed.
. Must be chartered TLDs in testbed.
. All ICANN accredited registrars must be able to provide registration
services in any new TLDs.
. Registrars favor use of existing RRP protocol for shared registries.
. ICANN must develop criteria for evaluating registries during testbed
period.

Morning all,

I note the IPC, ISPC and Business Constituencies have all submitted
comments on the introduction of new TLDs.

Is the Registrar Constituency going to submit a position paper too?? I
recall we had rough consensus in Yokohama on a number of issues.........

See you in LA

Best
