<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Marika,<br>
<br>
thank you for that clarification. While this relieves part
of my concern, I still feel that "baking" a single
constituency into such a process and handing out special
benefits is not the proper procedure for a multi-stakeholder
organization, even if it is an opt-in process for the
applicant.<br>

response to community input, the TMCH Requirements
were revised to allow registry operators the ability
to submit applications to conduct launch programs.
In response to the large number of Geo TLDs who
voiced similar concerns, the IPC publicly stated
that it would be willing to work with Geo TLDs to
develop mutually acceptable language for Geo TLD
launch programs. We viewed this proposal as a way
for community members to work collectively to
propose to ICANN a possible solution for an issue
specifically affecting intellectual property
rights-holders and Geo TLDs. Any such proposal will
be subject to ICANN's review and ICANN has expressly
stated that any such proposal may be subject to
public comment in which other interested community
members may participate. This is captured in Section
4.5.3.</span></i><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear fellow councillors,<br>
<br>
in the last week ICANN has released a final draft
version of the TMCH RPM Requirements, which contains
in section 4.5.3 a paragraph that I find to be
questionable:<br>
<br>
<br>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<h1><u><span
style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue;font-weight:normal">4.5.3If
registry operators that indicated in their
applications for their TLDs that their TLD would
be a geographic name (“</span></u><u><span
style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue">Geo TLDs</span></u><u><span
style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue;font-weight:normal">”) <i>and
representatives of the Intellectual Property
Constituency</i> recommend to ICANN the creation
of a registration program (...)</span></u><o:p></o:p></h1>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Further, stakeholder groups and
constituencies may change over time, so referencing one
in such a process description may cause problems down
the line.<br>
<br>
I feel this topic needs to be raised on the council
level as this is only the most recent example of ICANN
staff acting unilaterally in favoring one interest over
others. <br>
