Apologies. Too much multitasking.  I misread the motion and withdraw my
second.  I expect to come back with a proposed friendly amendment.

        Subject: [council] Motion re VRSN RSEP request
        
        

        The BC makes the following motion for Council consideration in
our next meeting, and would appreciate a 'second'.  In sum, we request
that the Council ask ICANN Staff to 'slow down' the process of approving
Versign's latest RSEP proposal and accept community input on it.
Thanks.

         

         

        Whereas, Verisign has recently made a proposal for an additional
registry service called "domain exchange" for the .net TLD.

        Whereas, it appears the proposal may permit resumption of
abusive "domain tasting" activities which have been curbed by the AGP
Limits policy, and therefore appropriate limitations on the proposed
registry service must be considered.

         

        RESOLVED:

         

        The Council requests that Staff make the preliminary
determination that this RSEP proposal requires further study and public
comment, because it could raise significant issues with security and
stability and/or competition.
