Item 10: Motion on request for issues report on Registration Abuse Policies. 
(10 mins)
Motion: Mike Rodenbaugh Second: Greg Ruth
Whereas:
1. ICANN's mission is to ensure the security and stability of the DNS, and to 
develop policy reasonably related to that mission.
2. Various forms of DNS abuse, in isolation and/or in the aggregate, cause a 
less secure and stable DNS.
3. Some of ICANN's gTLD registry agreements and appended registry-registrar 
agreements contain a provision such as Section 3.6.5 of the.info Registry 
Agreement, Appendix 8 :
3.6.5. (Registrars) acknowledge and agree that Afilias reserves the right to 
deny, cancel or transfer any registration or transaction, or place any domain 
name(s) on registry lock, hold or similar status, that it deems necessary, in 
its discretion; (1) to protect the integrity and stability of the registry; (2) 
to comply with any applicable laws, government rules or requirements, requests 
of law enforcement, or any dispute resolution process; (3) to avoid any 
liability, civil or criminal, on the part of Afilias, as well as its 
affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, directors, and employees; (4) per the terms 
of the registration agreement or (5) to correct mistakes made by Afilias or any 
Registrar in connection with a domain name registration.
Afilias also reserves the right to place upon registry lock, hold or similar 
status a domain name during resolution of a dispute.

4. Afilias, the dotInfo Registry Operator, per its recent RSEP request, has 
sought to clarify and implement its specific abusive registration policy with 
respect to this provision. This request has been approved by ICANN.
5. Some of ICANN's gTLD registry agreements, notably the Verisign contracts for 
.com and .net, have no such provision. Other gTLD registry agreements do 
contain such provision, but the registry operators have not developed or have 
inconsistently developed abusive registration policies.
The GNSO Council resolves to request an Issues Report from ICANN Staff with 
respect to the following:
1. To identify and describe the various provisions in existing and previous 
gTLD registry and registry-registrar agreements which relate to contracting 
parties' ability to take action in response to abuse.
2. To identify and describe various provisions in a representative sampling of 
gTLD registration agreements which relate to contracting parties' and/or 
registrants rights and obligations with respect to abuse.
3. To identify and describe any previous discussion in ICANN fora which 
substantively pertains to provisions of this nature in any of these agreements.
4. To identify and describe potential options for further Council 
consideration, relating to consistency and propriety of provisions of this 
nature in all of these agreements.
