RE: [council] Draft GNSO Council Agenda 25 September 2008

["Gomes, Chuck" <cgomes@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Kristina,

Here is Denise's response to your question: "Services Staff intends to provide 
a status update on RAA Amendments, as requested by the Council." Does that 
answer your question or were you asking whether there would be more than just a 
status report?

Chuck

> 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.
