Please see the following e-mail from NeuStar about proposed changes to
the .biz Registry-Registrar Agreement (RRA).  I'd like to commend Jeff
and NeuStar for soliciting comments from registrars on proposed changes
to the RRA prior to ICANN providing formal approval.  This is the kind
of collaboration that we are trying to foster with our registry
partners.

 

For what it's worth, from my initial read, I personally am not concerned
with the substance of the changes.  

 

Thanks.

 

Jon

Jon,

 

Can you please post the following on the Registrars list?

 

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

Dear Registrars,

 

Please find enclosed a redlined version of our new proposed RRA which
compares our new .BIZ RRA to the one that was posted by ICANN (see 
http://www.icann.org/tlds/agreements/biz/appendix-08-08dec06.htm).
That version was approved by the ICANN Board on December 8, 2006.  We
have submitted this document to ICANN staff for their review and have
discussed the changes with their outside counsel. 


The only changes are as follows:

 

1.	Blank spaces have been placed into the agreement where
applicable for your contact and business information.
2.	The first sentence in Section 2.7 should have referred to
Appendix 7 rather than Appendix 10.  We believe that that was an
inadvertent typo as Appendix 7 is really the performance specifications,
not Appendix 10.
3.	We have combined Sections 2.7 and 6.3 into one provision.  In
re-reading the RRA, we believed that the two provisions were
duplicative.  We believe that combination of the two provisions into one
presents no substantive change.
4.	In Exhibit D, we inserted the word "currently" into the section
containing the links to the UDRP and the RDRP and filled in the blanks.
This gives ICANN and NeuStar the ability to change the location of the
links in the future (with notice to the registrars).  As we are in the
process of switching our branding from NeuLevel to NeuStar, the location
of the RDRP (but not the policy itself) will likely change in the next
couple of months.
5.	Exhibits F and G have been inserted into the agreement.  Exhibit
F is an exact copy of Section VI of Appendix 7 of the Registry Agreement
and Exhibit G is an exact copy of Appendix 10, both of which have
previously been approved.

 

These are the only changes we are proposing.  As you can see, none of
them are substantive.  However, we wanted to solicit your feedback on
these changes.  Our intent is to circulate the final clean versions of
the new agreements on the 15th of January. 

 

Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter.
