FYI - please pay particular attention to Appendix S, which permits the

Operator.

 

Thanks.

Proposed .MUSEUM sTLD Registry Agreement Posted for Public Comment


2 March 2007

The proposed .MUSEUM sTLD registry agreement is posted for public
comment and can be viewed at
<http://www.icann.org/draft-proposed-museum-agreement-02mar07.pdf
<http://www.icann.org/tlds/agreements/museum/draft-proposed-museum-agree
ment-02mar07.pdf> > [PDF, 60K] and appendices at
<http://www.icann.org/tlds/agreements/museum/draft-proposed-museum-appen
dices-02mar07.pdf> [PDF, 148K] . 

The proposed .MUSEUM registry agreement substantially follows the format
of other recent sTLD registry agreements negotiated by ICANN. The
agreement is for a ten-year term, and provides for the same set of
requirements for: 

*	compliance with consensus and temporary policies except to the
extent policy development has been delegated to the sponsoring
organization; 
*	comprehensive registry data escrow; and 
*	approval of new registry services and modifications to existing
registry services. 

The following summarizes changes in the proposed .MUSEUM registry
agreement from its original agreement
(http://icann.org/tlds/agreements/museum/
<http://www.icann.org/tlds/agreements/museum/> ) authorized on 17
October 2001: 

*	The proposed agreement provides for the elimination of the
wildcard. 
*	Appendix S allows for the Sponsor to register names directly
with the Registry Operator, strictly limited to 5,000 names. 

MuseDoma, a corporation established in the State of Delaware (US), has
filed documentation to become MuseDoma International, a corporation
established under the laws of France. The founding sponsors of the newly
incorporated organization will continue to be the International Council
of Museums ("ICOM") and the J. Paul Getty Trust. Reference to MuseDoma,
the corporation established under the laws of France, is bracketed on
page one of the proposed registry agreement. 

Fees to ICANN under the proposed registry agreement for .MUSEUM would be
based on the total number of registrations. 

On 21 June 2005, ICANN posted for public comment the Renewal Proposal
(http://www.icann.org/tlds/renewals/museum-renewal-proposal-16nov05.pdf)
for the .MUSEUM registry in accordance with the terms of the current
agreement. ICANN staff continued to work with the sponsoring
organization to finalize the proposed agreements and appendices. 

Comments on the proposed agreement can be posted to
museum-renewal-2007@xxxxxxxxx no later than 5:00PM PST, 23 March 2007
and viewed at http://forum.icann.org/lists/museum-renewal-2007 . At that
time comments will be submitted to the Board of Directors for the Board
to consider at its meeting on 29 March 2007.
