Note from Vittorio to the NA-Discuss list:

The At-Large Advisory Committee is forming a working
group about possible proposals to strengthen
protections for registrants in generic top level
domain names.

Specifically, in its initial phase, the working group
will draft the At Large's response to the consultation
that ICANN will hold in the next
weeks, discussing the following issues:

1. Possible changes in the Registrar Accreditation
Agreement - the contract that establishes the
relationships and reciprocal duties between ICANN and
registrars, and consequently registrants;

2. Possible improvements to other existing policies of
ICANN that affect registrants directly, such as, for
example, the policies on transfering domain names to
another registrar;

3. Possible improvements in the process for the
accreditation of registrars by ICANN;

4. Possible operational projects by ICANN, for example
in terms of education and information of registrants,
processes for receiving and dealing with registrant
complaints, instruments to enforce contractual
compliance.

The work will happen online. To participate, please
subscribe to the "RAA-WG" mailing list, by using the
form at:

Further information and archives of the list will be
found there.

Please feel free to share this call with any person or
group that might be interested in contributing to this
discussion from the point of view of the average
registrant of domain names.
