<div>Hi Bill,</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks very much. The issue of most concern to the constituency that has a motion pending for Thursday is the Post-Expiration Domain Name Recovery Issues Report. We'd like to move forward with further exploring this issue within the GNSO since it seems some registrars may be abusing their position in the domain name chain and over-charging consumers for their domains when their registration lapses. I don't know the answers, but I think it is worth looking into since it may be an ICANN policy creating the abuse (if there is any).</div><div><br></div><div>The Registrations Abuse Policy is the Business Constituency's continued efforts to make anonymous Internet use impossible, so I'm not keen to move forward with that project.</div><div><br></div><div>Can anyone else comment on the Registrar Accreditation Agreement motion pending? RAA hasn't been a major issue for NCUC, so maybe someone else who has been following that issue more closely can comment on it.</div><div><br></div><div>Any other comments on any of this issues pending before the GNSO? Especially the Post-Expiration Domain Name Recovery issue? I'd be glad to see a NCUC representative introduce a motion, or second a motion on this issue. It was originally raised by ALAC, but I do not think that (technically) ALAC can introduce or 2nd it on the council.</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>Robin</div><div><br></div><br><div><div>On Dec 15, 2008, at 8:59 AM, William Drake wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"> Hi,<div><br></div><div>The Council has a meeting on Thursday and there a number of motions on the table concerning the Registrar Accreditation Agreement, Registrations Abuse Policy, and Post-Expiration Domain Name Recovery.<a href="https://st.icann.org/gnso-council/index.cgi?18_dec_2008_motions"></a></div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://st.icann.org/gnso-council/index.cgi?18_dec_2008_motions">https://st.icann.org/gnso-council/index.cgi?18_dec_2008_motions</a></div><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">If anyone has any input on these issues and how NCUC reps might address them, please let us know.</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Thanks,</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Bill</div></div></div></div></div></div></span></span></span></div></div></blockquote></div><br><div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0; "><div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><br class="khtml-block-placeholder"></div><div><br class="khtml-block-placeholder"></div><div>IP JUSTICE</div><div>Robin Gross, Executive Director</div><div>1192 Haight Street, San Francisco, CA 94117 USA</div><div>p: +1-415-553-6261 f: +1-415-462-6451</div><div>w: <a href="http://www.ipjustice.org">http://www.ipjustice.org</a> e: <a href="mailto:robin@ipjustice.org">robin@ipjustice.org</a></div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"> </div><br></body></html>
