I have received a question from an ALAC member, and the answer might
go a long way to understanding the current RAA situation.
The current version of the RAA amendment package includes two new
changes, one of which provides contact information for registrars,
the wording of which is widely felt to be inadequate since it could
be a mail drop (or equivalent) and not the actual place of business.
The question is, if these last two changes have just been made, what
is the inhibitor stopping additional changes to be made? The specific
one in question here would:
"Registrars on their company Web sites must disclose the physical
address of their business, including their headquarters office, and a
reliable means to reach them by telephone and e-mail. Post office
boxes and e-mail addresses are not sufficient."

Alan,
It seems amendments are still being made. Could you ask staff and
GNSO if they will accept the Consumer Reports standard Beau's proposing:
1. Identity:
Web sites should clearly disclose the physical location where they
are produced, including an address, a telephone number or e-mail address.
Sites should clearly disclose their ownership, private or public,
naming their parent company.
Sites should clearly disclose their purpose and mission.
Adam
As someone who has investigated a number of mail-drop scam
businesses, going the extra mile for physical location where the
site is produced is necessary.

Subject: [NA-Discuss] Latest RAA amendment
ICANN Staff is now throwing out last-minute sops in order to get
the GNSO community to approve the RAA amendments as a package. The
latest amendment added to the package is this:
3.16 Registrar shall provide on its web site its accurate contact
details including valid email and mailing address.
Of course, this amendment still doesn't require the registrar to
identify its primary place of business. The registrar could have
its primary base of operations in India, yet work through a
Delaware-based shell corporation that maintains a contact point at
a Canadian mailboxes-r-us (which could serve as a valid email and
mailing address).
Dozens of Registrars located internationally are using "mail-drop"
addresses and post office boxes in the United States and Canada as
primary addresses -- do we want to encourage this deceptive
behavior? The proposed amendment does little to nothing to address
the concerned raised by users on this topic.
Thanks to ICANN Staff for once more demonstrating that they will
only give lip service to user concerns.
