40 Questions about New Registry Services.
ICANN has now published an Excerpt from Draft Version of Staff Manager’s Issues Report for the Development of a Process for the Introduction of New or Modified Registry Services, consisting of 40 questions regarding the introduction of new registry services. The final issues report is now scheduled for November 7.
Some of the questions in this first draft are questions of fact; I'd hope that the final issues report actually gives the answers to these questions. Among the policy questions, it's particularly interesting that ICANN now starts asking who should provide registry services: The registry, or maybe a different party that has been determined, e.g., by a public bidding process?
