18(c) What operating rules will you adopt to eliminate or minimize social costs?

Prototypical answer:

Asia Green IT System Bilgisayar San. ve Tic. Ltd. Sti. (AGITSys) will commit to following all ICANN required policies and procedures as outlined in the registry agreement as part of their operation of the TCI gTLD. It is our understanding that these were specifically designed to minimize the social costs on others.
AGITSys has chosen to adopt CoCCA’s tested acceptable use based policy matrix, recommendations for minimizing harm in TLDs, and subject the TLD to the CoCCA Complaint Resolution Service (“CRS”).
The CoCCA Best practice policy matrix has been developed over a decade and has currently been adopted by 16 TLDs. It was developed for (and by) ccTLDs managers that desired to operate an efficient standards–based SRS system complemented by a policy environment that addressed a registrants use of a string as well as the more traditional gTLD emphasis rights to string.
A key element of CoCCA’s policy matrix is that it provides for registry-level suspensions where there is evidence of AUP violations. The TLD will join other TLDs that utilize the CoCCA’s single-desk CRS. The CRS provides a framework for the public, law enforcement, regulatory bodies and intellectual property owners to swiftly address concerns regarding the use of domains, and the COCCA network. The AUP can be used to address concerns regarding a domain or any other resource record that appears in the zone.
The CRS procedure provides an effective alternative to the court system while allowing for Complaints against domains to be handled in a way treats each complaint in a fair and equal manor and allows for all affected parties to present evidence and arguments in a constructive forum.
Finally, .TCI will be a brand gTLD meaning AGITSys will be the sole registrant. This means there will be no need to resolve multiple applications for a particular domain name and there will be no need for advantageous pricing, introductory discounts, or bulk registration discounts. Finally, it will not be necessary to make contractual commitments to registrants regarding the magnitude of price escalation as we are one registrant permitted to register names in the TLD.
