Short overview, RESP request assessment, Registry Services
'''RSEP''' is the acronym for '''Registry Services Evaluation Process''' and represents the process which was created through [[ICANN]]s consensus for policy development process.

==Short overview==
In order to submit a request for the implementation of new Registry Services, all [[gTLD]]s must take into account the RSEP provisions.
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==
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:
* ''The pricing'' influence over the price of registry service;
* ''Market issues'': identification of the market which could be affected, the effects of the changes, other potential significance;
* ''Allocation issues''
* ''Impact on other markets''
# Preliminary determination on competition issues by the General Council
# If no competitions issues are determined, the competition review is considered complete.
# If there are significant competition issues determined by [[ICANN]] or RSEP request, the appropriate competition authority will be contacted and the jurisdiction applied. <ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/registries/rsep/prelim-competition-issues-en.htm Analysis of the RESP request regarding significant competition issues]</ref>

==Registry Services==
The registry services which are proposed based on RSEP requests are defined as:
* Services which are critical for the [[RIR]](Regional Internet Registry) to perform tasks related to registrations of domain names, registrars and other related issues.
* Other services and products that the [[RIR]] must provide based on the consensus policy adopted.
* Services which only that specific [[RIR]] is able to provide. <ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/registries/rsep/rsep.html Registry Services ICANN]</ref>
