Perhaps someone could care to educate me further on how things work in ICANN. If a request as the one contained in this announcement is received by ICANN, do they review such proposal based on the existing policies? and if they do, and determine that a proposal does not fit into existing policy/guidelines, is it right for ICANN staff to suggest updating existing processes to allow a proposal go through?

This is the way I understood this particular call and I hope someone can confirm that my understanding is incorrect.

Thanks!

*Note: Binky Lake, LLC has submitted three RSEP requests on behalf of Donuts, Inc. for 6 gTLDs

As part of these requests, each registry operator described which two-character domain names for which it would offer these registrations. These RSEP requests were posted for public information on the Registry Service Evaluation Process webpage, available at https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/rsep-2014-02-19-en.

As required by the Registry Services Evaluation Policy, ICANN has undertaken a preliminary determination on whether the proposals might raise significant competition, security or stability issues. ICANN's preliminary review (based on the information provided) did not identify any such issues for these requests.

Implementation of the proposal would require amendments to the Exhibit A, Approved Services of the respective Registry Agreements, which are being posted for public comment.
