To submit a request for the implementation of new Registry Services, all [[gTLD]]s must take into account RSEP's provisions. The RSEP is required by [[ICANN]] in order to make sure that no significant competition issues are raised. | ||

==RSEP request assessment== | |||
When determining whether the RSEP request could raise significant competition issues, a review is necessary. The stages and steps followed are listed below: | |||
#The General Counsel reviews the request for determining whether the RSEP request could raise significant competition issues. The following factors are taken into consideration: | |||
#*The pricing influence over the price of registry service; | |||
#*Market issues: identification of the market which could be affected, and the effects of the change; | |||
#*Allocation issues | |||
#*Impact on other markets | |||
