[wg-c] Things wg-c can do next

[Eric Brunner <brunner@world.std.com>]

1. define the new gTLD candidate evaluation mechanism

        This mechanism yeilds 6-10 new gTLD recommendations, together
        with specific guidence for the eventual approval body, on the
        questions of necessity, utility, operational character, and
        evaluation and renewal dates,

        if the candidate gTLD has a charter, sponsor, policy or scope,
        then the mechanism additionally yeilds recommendations to the
        eventual approval body in this area,

	and provide a guide to the subsequent evaluation

2. define the registry candidate evaluation mechanism

        This mechanism yeilds, for each new gTLD recommendation, the
        recommendation to the eventual approval body of party(s) to
        operate the registry,

	and provide a guide to the subsequent evaluation

3. define the registrar candidate evaluation mechanism

	This mechanism yeilds, for each new gTLD and registry operator
	recommendation and delegation, the recommendation to the eventual
	approval body of party(s) to operate as registrars,

	and provide a guide to subsequent evaluation, if any


Other issues:

t. The public trust vs private property nature of registry data
u. The shared vs "classic NSI" registry/registrar model
v. The non-profit vs for-profit issue
w. The for-profit conversion issue
x. The abandonment issue
y. The transfer issue
z. The renewal issue
0. The operational requirements of new gTLD operators
   (like draft-ietf-dnsop-root-opreq-01.txt)
