[council] UDRP Domain Name Locking WG Request

["Joy Liddicoat" <joy@xxxxxxx>]

Dear Councillors, I've been asked to alert you to a request by the UDRP
Domain Name Locking WG for clarification from the Council in relation to one
aspect of its work, namely: 

 

In its review of the Charter for the Locking of a Domain Name subject to
UDRP Proceedings Working Group
(https://community.icann.org/display/udrpproceedings/3.+WG+Charter), the WG
has noticed that no specific mention is made of the 'unlocking' of a  domain
name once the UDRP proceedings are completed. From the WG's perspective,
this is an implicit part of the question as potential recommendations on how
/ when to lock a domain name subject to UDRP Proceedings should also be
balanced by recommendations on how a  domain name can / should be unlocked
once the UDRP proceedings have been completed. 

 

Therefore, the WG has requested the Council Liaison to the WG to raise this
issue with the GNSO Council and confirm that the WG's interpretation of the
charter is correct. The WG looks forward to receiving the Council's feedback
at its meeting with the GNSO Council in Prague during which an update on the
WG's activities to date will also be provided and any further questions may
be answered.

 

Can we please add this item to the agenda?

 

Kind regards

 

 

Joy Liddicoat
