RE: [registrars] FW: MUSEUM proposal

[Tim Ruiz <tim@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

<div>
For the record, Go Daddy was NOT one of the larger registrars that Kurt
refers to. While I don't see this as a disaster it does concern me. It is simply, by Kurt own's admission, a way to work around Musedoma's contractual requirement to use Accredited Registrars.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>
What Go Daddy did suggest as a possible alternative is that registries
might be allowed to establish, own,&nbsp;and operate Accredited Registrars - as long as appropriate equal access and confidentiality requirements were part&nbsp;of the arrangement.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>
What we don't want to see is an errosion of the Accredited Registrar
concept. I think recent events have made it clear that not only is the Accreditation concept valid and necessary, but compliance and&nbsp;enforcement of Accredited Registrars' obligations need to be strengthened.<BR><BR>Tim <BR></div>
