I've read them through - not sure I agree. A more practical approach would
be appreciated, at least on this end. For instance, the proposal is silent
on what we should do in cases where things have gone wrong. It places too
much emphasis on the magic of technology and not enough on the value of
predictable processes. There are a few other real-life considerations that
would need to be addressed before the recommendations are "gTLD-ready" ie
3.9.2 - Failure to provide an authinfo code within 3 days is considered to
be a material breach of the agreement. Registrar loses accreditation because
of a bad mailserver?

That's all that I came up with after just a quick review, I'm sure that we
would have additional comments if I flew this around the office. Overall,
its a great step in the right direction, but we can't let the shiny sexiness
of this new technology get in the way of an appropriate level of technical
and procedural objectiveness.
