GAC Advice

N/A
Consensus met
2012-03-16-gTLD-2-EW
Communication
The GAC looks forward to receiving from ICANN the final decision on how it intends to handle batching should it be necessary once the application window closes. The GAC raised concerns that a set of criteria or a process for batching has not yet been decided on. With regard to the batching process and GAC Early Warning, the GAC appreciates the Board’s consideration that should batching be necessary Early Warnings could also occur in batches. However, with no formal process or criteria for batching, it is still unclear to the GAC how batching will affect the Early Warning process and its feasibility.
Though the applicant’s due diligence reports will not be available the GAC expects that if an applicant does not meet the criteria or the report is not satisfactory the application will not be allowed to proceed.
