[registrars] Final Motion for Balloting
Folks - I've taken into account the comments and elements of the various proposals that I view as friendly and incorporated them into the following friendly amendment to my original motion. This is a compromise motion resulting from the fact that all of the proposals were not entirely congruent, but shared many of the same goals. I hope that the constituency will look upon this motion favorably and allow the constituency to provide a unified front with a unanimous vote. Final Motion; -- "Whereas, VeriSign has created a condition that potentially risks the stability and security of the domain name system; Whereas, this condition undermines competition in the registrar and registry sectors; Whereas, this initiative was undertaken without prior notice toregistrars, network operators, the general internet community and ICANN and its constituencies; Therefore be it resolved that the GNSO Registrar Constituency strongly recommends that ICANN immediately require that VeriSign suspends this condition and returns a "NXDOMAIN" response for zone file entriesthat do not exist and ceases serving requests for wild-card entries in response to DNS queries to the relevant gTLD zones until such time as ICANN and its Supporting Organizations provide input on the relevant security, stability and competition issues; and Resolved that the GNSO Registrar Constituency strongly urge that ICANN conduct an analysis to ensure that any such service be in compliance with the Verisign .com and .net Registry Agreements, anyother applicable agreements and the principles of maintaining and coordination the security and stability of the DNS in a competitive environment prior to the reinitiation of the aforementioned condition; and Resolved that the GNSO Registrar Constituency highly recommends that any other gTLD registry be required to follow a predetermined process designed to ensure similar consultation, analysis and provide due and proper notice prior to creating similar conditions or new service." -- -rwr "Power corrupts, but absolute power lets you do cool things with the root." - http://www.byte.org/blog/_archives/2003/9/16/2893.html
