Update on gTLD Registrar Application Process
Hi, There has been an update on the http://www.gtld-mou.org site. As always, for latest news, click on "Latest News" Of specific interest: 1. There is a near-final draft of the "Application Form to Qualify to sign the CORE-MoU Submitted to the Internet Council of Registrars (CORE)" which is available from http://www.gtld-mou.org/docs/apply.htm The application process for applying to become a new gTLD Registrar under the aegis of the gTLD-MoU framework is not yet open. However, the target release date for the final application form is within the next week after which the current application form foresees approximately a 90 day application period (replacing the previously planned 60 day period). Also new is that the application form foresees that CORE will begin "start-up" activities 30 days after the beginning of acceptance of applications. In order to act as a gTLD registrar, the draft application process foresees the following steps: (i) Submit a completed application form and application fee within the application period; (ii) Have the application be deemed acceptable; (iii) After the application has been deemed acceptable, sign the CORE-MoU, and thereby become a member of CORE; (iv) Conform to the operational and technical requirements determined by CORE for registrars; (v) Begin registration activities. After the commencement of registration activities by CORE, only Registrars may remain members of CORE. Registrars, and only Registrars, shall participate in the on-going activities of CORE. Potential gTLD Registrar applicants are encouraged to carefully read the application form. The application form makes reference to the DNS Walk program. The version on the http://www.gtld-mou.org site will be updated with a more robust version before the application process starts. The application form also makes reference to the CORE-MoU. The version on the http://www.gtld-mou.org site will be updated before the application process starts.

Can I assume that between the posting that are considering a 60 or 90 day processing period and this email, you have received overwhelming support for the 90 day period. I didn't see much of it on this list so I can assume that everyone reponded privately. At 03:55 PM 7/15/97 +0200, Robert Shaw wrote:

My understanding is that the 60 to 90 day period is still under scrutiny and disagreement. No consensus at this point.
