[ncdnhc-discuss] About Marketing Practices in .ORG

[Nilda Vany Martinez Grajales]

Hi Milton and all:

The best way to invest money in Marketing Practices is when you make
Positive Marketing.

A Positive Marketing Practice it has to deal with encourage the target
Community or Group to do something
rather than to Discourage others not related with such Community to
not-do something.

Better invest .ORG Sponsor Registry Budget in encourage positive
practices and registrations inside the Non-Commercial Community and
Invest Time in the .ORG CHARTER to be in the best interests of the TLD
SPONSORED TARGET COMMUNITY
meaning the Non-Commercial Community and Non-Commercial legimit
activities and discourage undesirable registrations.

Also any Marketing Practices are the responsability of the Registry, not
Registrars. To obligate to Registrars in engage
in specific marketing practices would generate more costs to Registrars
which probably would have as consequence a higher
cost for a domain name within .ORG (maybe not, maybe it would have high
cost anyway, but I wouldn't take such a risk).  However if there are
Registrars that voluntarily wants to engage in Marketing Practices, then
they can do it, voluntarily.  

Anyway, to discourage undesirable registrations the best tool is the
CHARTER.

Some questions:

All Acredited ICANN Registrars actually has payed to NSI to be able to
be Registrar of TLDs offered by NSI as Registry, in addition with fees
payed to ICANN to be acredited Registrars.   Since .ORG Divesture means
that .ORG will be a Registry different to
NSI, then, and based in the Policy Statement on .ORG, Would all
Registrars that already paid fees to NSI, with the new .ORG Registry,
also Registrars has to pay again fees in order to be able to follow
providing their Registrars Services for .ORG?  What about new Registrars
that were acredited to ICANN after .ORG Divesture?

According to the Policy Statement on .ORG: All Registrars that offered
services for .ORG previous to the .ORG Divesture that
doesn't want to engage in Marketing Strategies proposed by such policy
statement, what is the idea:  To not use anymore such Registrars
services and transfers all domain names to Registrars that agreed in
engage activities...or simply not use anymore such Registrar but letting
such Registrar maintain their actual domain names inside .ORG? 

Thank you for clarifying this questions.

Best Regards
Vany
