[ncdnhc-discuss] TLDs not created by ICANN: the purposes of raising concerns

[Nilda Vany Martinez Grajales]

Dear Fellows:

Due to the recent concerns about issues raised by me regarding "TLDs not
created by ICANN..." in the NC agenda, the below text 
is the explanation of the purpose of the inclusion of such a subject,
which it is, indeed the develop of the what I want to say during the NC
teleconference.

The purpose to raise concerns in the Names Council about "TLDs not
created by ICANN..." is to create an awareness of how
such business is affecting in several ways the sectors represented by
all DNSO Constituencies and all Registrants, to point out the
risks that can imply to welcome companies that offers such TLDs who
bypassed ICANN Process, how unfair is this (the business of offering
TLDs not created by ICANN) for our DNSO partners in constituencies as
gTLDs, ccTLDs and Registrars (no competitiveness since such TLDs only
can be offered by the company that promotes them) since they are making
their efforts to always be in good standing with ICANN processes while
others are not...How this could obligates ISPs if they eventually
doesn't changes
their configuration files of their DNS server in order to meet customer
demands...To point out how Businesses and Non-Commercial sectors are
affected since such constituencies cannot watch the interests of such
sectors properly if any policy or even technical issue regarding Domain
Names inside such TLDs not created by ICANN is addressed in the
DNSO...To point out how the Registrant doesn't have any guarantees
neither have a place to complain inside the ICANN structure (as, for
example, that ICANN recieves complaints of Registrants about Registrars
by giving a following up of such complaints)...All of these in order to
raise an awareness that the NC members recognize the importance of all
of these in order that be addressed in each constituency so every
constituency comes up with positions regarding this way to attempt to
expand Domain Names space without following the proper process given by
ICANN.

Also to remind them that, at the end, the damage is done to the
Registrant who is trusting that such TLDs are legimit TLDs as .COM,
.ORG, .NET, .BIZ, .INFO, etc...

And finally to make a call to ICANN through DNSO to all work together in
how we can find a solution to stop the disemination of this practice in
order to offer a Domain Name Space that keeps its stability,
transparency and confuseless that until now, had being achieved.

Any attempt to expand the Domain Names Space without the ICANN
Coordination/Requirements is an attempt to disrupt the stability of the
Domain Name Space and also is bypassing all of those people, groups and
organizations that in good will is participating and following ICANN
guidelines and requirements for a better Coordination of the Domain
Names Space of the Internet.

Best Regards
Vany
