'''RSEP''' is the acronym for '''Registry Services Evaluation Process''' and represents the process which was created through [[ICANN]]s consensus for policy development process.
The '''Registry Services Evaluation Policy (RSEP)''' Process is a set of protocols designed to screen and approve proposals made by [[gTLD]] operators to add or modify registry services. 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.


==Short overview==
==History==
In order to submit a request for the implementation of new Registry Services, all [[gTLD]]s must take into account the RSEP provisions.  
RSEP was created through [[ICANN|ICANN's]] consensus for policy development process.<ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/registries/rsep/prelim-competition-issues-en.htm ICANN.org]</ref>
The RSEP are being analyze by [[ICANN]] to make sure that no significant competition issues are being raised . There are some preliminary reasonable determination stages which must be followed in order to determine whether the proposes Registry Services raise or not significant competition issues.  


==RESP request assessment==
On June 30, 2005, the GNSO released its [[PDP]] Final Report on the "Procedure for use by ICANN in considering requests for consent and related contractual amendments to allow changes in the architecture or operation of a gTLD registry."<ref>[https://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/registry-services/final-rpt-registry-approval-10july05.htm#1. RSEP Final Report, GNSO]</ref>
When determining whether the RESP request could raise significant competition issues, a review is necessary. The stages and steps followed are listed below:
 
# The General Council reviews the request for determining whether the RESP request could raise significant competition issues. The following factors are taken into consideration:  
November 8, 2005, the ICANN Board directed that this procedure for considering requests for new Registry Services be guided by the provisions in the [[.net]] [[Registry Agreement]], per the GNSO's recommendation, which became the Registry Services Evaluation Policy process.<ref>[https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/rsep-implementation-notes-2019-04-30-en RSEP Implementation, ICANN Resources]</ref>
