Hello there,<div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>While we didn't vote on this issue today, we will probably vote on this text or a similar version on the 28th at our next meeting. It is my understanding the Registrars and the Registries will not support any policy to curtail DNT (based on discussions today in the mtg).</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Another possibility is just to END it all together. Permitting a % of deletions as below, was in part, meant as a compromise with Ry and Rr, and since they won't support what is below, no point passing a motion with a compromise when you don't get the support desired. Certainly registrars would not be prevented from giving refunds within a time-frame if they wanted to (i.e. let the market deal with legitimate needs for refunds as happens in other services).</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>I'm still very keen to hear what other NCUC'rs think about how to move forward with Tasting.</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Robin</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><br><div><br><div>Begin forwarded message:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Helvetica" size="3" color="#000000" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; color: #000000"><b>From: </b></font><font face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">"Rosette, Kristina" <<a href="mailto:krosette@cov.com">krosette@cov.com</a>></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Helvetica" size="3" color="#000000" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; color: #000000"><b>Date: </b></font><font face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">February 12, 2008 7:29:18 AM PST</font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Helvetica" size="3" color="#000000" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; color: #000000"><b>To: </b></font><font face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"><<a href="mailto:council@gnso.icann.org">council@gnso.icann.org</a>></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Helvetica" size="3" color="#000000" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; color: #000000"><b>Subject: </b></font><font face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"><b>[council] Revised Proposed GNSO Council motion on Domain Tasting<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></b></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><br></div> <!-- Converted from text/rtf format --><p><font size="2" face="Arial">All,</font> </p><p><font size="2" face="Arial">Attached please find a revised proposed GNSO Council motion on domain tasting and redline that highlights the changes from the previous motion. </font></p><p><font size="2" face="Arial">The primary changes are:</font> </p><p><font size="2" face="Arial">1.

I believe that is true for Mike, too. The bracketed language reflects Tim's objection. I have left the language in for discussion proposes. The reasoning for the reporting requirement is that if a registrar experiences such an extraordinary circumstance that it warrants exemption from the application of consensus policy then it seems reasonable to provide ICANN and the registrant community with the information that the registrar is seeking an exemption and, if it is granted, the basis for it.</font></p><p><font size="2" face="Arial">K</font> </p><p><font face="Arial" size="2" color="#000000"> <<02122008 revised DT Design team proposed GNSO Council tasting motion - SCRUBBED on 02-12-08 09_58.DOC>> </font><font face="Arial" size="2" color="#000000"> <<redline 02122008 DT Design team proposed GNSO Council tasting motion - SCRUBBED on 02-06-08 21_53-#.DOC>> </font></p> </blockquote></div></div></body></html>
