ICANN participation

Objective:
Suggestions for the review through related workgroups and public comments.

My Vision:
I believe that ICANN will remain not- for-profit organization and will facilitate Globalization and Localization capabilities to all users who are enjoying with the Internet Layer on the map of the World and new layers are going to be launched to provide more opportunities to acquire property at Internet world.

PROPOSAL:
I propose (for ICANN) that:
1. New TLDs should be a general Name Script.
For example instead of .Nokia, it should be .Camera
2. New TLDs may please be maintained by ICANN (itself) instead of giving it to new candidates as a REGISTRY. (Existing Registry setup will remain continue).
3. ICANN should maintain (an IT infrastructure) to host Clustered ROOT SERVERS to enable new gTLDs in addition to existing root servers.
4. Existing REGISTRARS will be enabled by the ICANN to start the domains registrations of new TLDs
5. Multi-Stake holders and Government representatives of different countries may be allowed to maintain their own Clustered ROOT SERVERS to protect their concerns.

PROS:
1. I appreciate that ICANN has invested significant amount of time and cost in development current model but I understand that the ICANN has already absorbed costs. The current model appears to be passing these costs incurred over past few years to the commercial market that will simply pass it on to end users.
2. Consumers and end users will benefit from consistent level of services, fair pricing model and unbiased approach across the globe from most reliable organization they can depend on.
3. It will reduce the conflicts of Intellectual Property Rights of multi-stake holders and geographically distributed communities who may demand for the same name scripts.
4. It will improve the Policies Implementation process & control for DNSSEC, Data Integrity & Stability.
5. It will improve the implementation of ICANN policy to provide equal opportunity and transparency.
6. It will reduce the chances for coming into the situation to resolve the conflicts through bidding competitions.
7. This will reduce the time period to launch new gTLDs Program.
8. This will reduce the Bigger Cost of gTLD Issue.
9. And finally, it will increase the number of domains registration (calculated on yearly basis).
CONS:
1. It may be not acceptable for new REGISTRY CANDIDATES, (but will not affect existing business of Registries.
2. It may be called that it is going to be centralized instead of decentralization. (but actually it will protect ICANN Globalization Policy against the divided internet territories on the map of the Internet World.)
