RE: [ga] 225 names deleted (and no registrar data escrow)

[Tim Ruiz <tim@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

<div>I should also point out that by widespread compliance I mean fully
with the provision in the accreditation agreement, particularly where
it requires ICANN to be party to the escrow agreement. That's not to
say that registrars are not escrowing data in some manner&nbsp;at all.
We do, and I have no doubt many others do as well.<BR></div>

<DIV>Hi Danny,</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>Just an FYI, there has been some work done over the last few
months&nbsp;towards getting the escrow provision enforced. It is moving
slow, it is overdue, and there probably won't be widespread compliance
until some time into next year.&nbsp;You're certainly right to be
concerned but wanted to let you know it is at least being
pursued.</DIV>

Borseth of Domainsite [at] IDNForums: <BR><BR>First, the issue is not
related to any kind of<BR>hardware failure, system failure, or data
loss. The<BR>reason the domain names were deleted was due
to<BR>employee error and only affected a limited number of<BR>domain
names registered on 2006-08-29 or 2006-08-30,<BR>depending on your time
zone. The affected registrars<BR>were Spot Domain LLC, Name.com LLC, and
Name.net LLC.<BR>225 domains got deleted and 216 have been restored

all know that almost none of the registrars have<BR>escrowed their data
and that ICANN has routinely<BR>overlooked this ongoing breach of

situation...<BR><BR>The current ICANN Operating Plan
states:<BR>"Develop a registrar data escrow program in<BR>collaboration
with the registrar community. Install<BR>and operate the infrastructure
needed to escrow data<BR>or contract with an outside entity to
provide<BR>technical infrastructure. Create a process for<BR>approving
third-party data escrow service providers<BR>and verifying compliance
with ICANN's data escrow<BR>policies and procedures. &nbsp;Establish
registrar/ICANN<BR>team to develop program. &nbsp;Locate qualified
third-party<BR>escrow provider. &nbsp;Publish timetable for
full<BR>implementation."<BR><BR>This program (#1h) is under the
auspices of the<BR>registrar liaison. &nbsp;<BR><BR>It would be nice to
know when efforts will commence to<BR>inaugurate this program.
&nbsp;Perhaps the registrar<BR>liaison can offer some
feedback.<BR><BR><BR>__________________________________________________<BR>Do
