[council] Compliance - Fake Renwal Notices

["Zahid Jamil" <zahid@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Pam,

 

A thought:

 

Kristina's point on IPR infringement is a great idea.

 

I understand that there is concern on evidence linking a third
party/registrar and the fake renewal notice.

 

What about shifting the burden of proving/disproving on the purported
party(s) who's logo is on the notice.

 

Since ICANN cannot verify whether or not the notice actually came from the
Registrar/Reseller, maybe there exists the possibility of sending a notice
to the party who's logo is on the fake notice.  This will put the burden on
the Registrar/Reseller to make a clear statement denying any link with the
sender of the fake notice.  This would help is any future litigation.  Also
it may help with putting Registry/Registrar/Resellers on notice to take
positive steps towards mitigating their liability. Eg.
