WG-C STRAW POLL
RESPONSE - IAN PENMAN

QUESTION ONE

3. ICANN, in selecting new gTLDs, should approve some chartered gTLDs and
some unchartered ones.  (Alternatively, ICANN should require that all gTLDs
have charters, but it should approve some gTLDs with charters that
meaningfully limit the universe of people who can register in the gTLD, and
some gTLDs with charters that do not impose any such limits.)

QUESTION TWO

3. ICANN, in selecting new gTLDs in the initial rollout, should approve
some chartered gTLDs and some unchartered ones.  (Alternatively, ICANN
should require that all gTLDs have charters, but it should approve some
gTLDs with charters that meaningfully limit the universe of people who can
register in the gTLD, and some gTLDs with charters that do not impose any
such limits.)

QUESTION THREE

2. ICANN, through a working group or otherwise, identifies a set of gTLDs
to be introduced in the initial rollout, and establishes names and charters
for those new TLDs.  It solicits applications from would-be registries to
run those TLDs, and picks the ones it deems best-suited or best- qualified.
