RE: [registrars] Registrar Resolution

["Thomas Barrett - EnCirca" <tbarrett@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This resolution appears to be too little, too late.  Check out the recent
notice from ICANN:

http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-21mar07.htm

Ideally, the RC should send a formal response before the Lisbon meeting to
have it posted on icann.org.

Tom, good points and I agree with the concept, but don't see a need to
include it in the resolution. It is really a part of what we need to discuss
for a more effective compliance program (already included in the
resolution).

EnCirca supports this resolution.
 
However, I feel that the focus on data escrow misses the real issue. 
Data escrow is of little help once names are deleted and re-registered by
third parties.
 
When RegisterFly failed to fund its registry accounts for renewals, Klaxons
and air raid sirens should have been ringing in the Registry management
offices. (they may well have, but what did they do?)
 
This resolution should include Registry participation as well.  i.e.
What are gTLD registries expected to do when they detect such a problem?
 
For example, Registries need a process they can invoke to suspend deletion
of names so that ICANN has time to consider compliance and escrow issues.
 
There should be some language like:
 
Be it resolved that the undersigned registrars call for ICANN Staff to work
with the ICANN Registry and Registrar Constituencies to develop a process
that will detect Registrars who are failing to provide required services to
their customers
