Re: [council] Action items from the GNSO Council meeting on 14 February 2013

[Mason Cole <mcole@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Petter --

I can help with that.  You may recall that the council investigated a PDP but 
ultimately decided to reserve resources for such a PDP for other work, since 
the matter could be dealt with more effectively by registrars communicating to 
relevant law enforcement (particularly in North America).  Since that time I 
have been collecting from registrars examples of fake renewal notices, which I 
will provide to the attorney that works with our SG -- she will help us submit 
them to the FTC in the US and other relevant law enforcement and consumer 
protection agencies.  

I realize it's been a while since the council has been updated on this, but I 
want to make sure we have as complete a case as possible when we approach the 
authorities.  I anticipate doing so shortly and will of course update the 
council when that step is complete.

Hope that helps.

Mason
