[registrars] GNSO Council Progress Review
Here is the GNSO Council progress report I presented to the Registrar Constituency meeting in Wellington. Regarding the question of new gTLDs, further input from the registrar community is required on the following points: * Should the minimum technical criteria for registry operations be set according to the current registry operations of, for example, .NET requirements? * Should the minimum technical criteria make some reference to the proposed size of a new registry [to enable appropriate adjustments to be made based on the number of names under management]? * Should a separate registry operator’s accreditation scheme be established and, if so, what should that scheme look like. For example, could compliance with existing RFCs and IETF standards be used as objective measures of technical capacity? * Should other business operations criteria continue to be included in a registry operator’s application to ensure that any registry operator is adequately funded and professionally managed?
