[ncdnhc-discuss] Board Positions on .ORG; Answers from V.Cerf

[KathrynKL at aol.com]

To the NCC:
I wanted to share with you the results of my recent correspondence with Vint 
Cerf.  Since I view email as private, I asked him if he would mind my posting 
his responses to our list and he said: "by all means please feel free to 
share my comments below."

The issue is the critical one of .ORG policy, and what exactly the Board 
concluded.  As you will see below, I am especially concerned about and oppose 
certifications in .ORG and any new types of after--registrations challenges 
that .ORG registrants might face. 

In brief, here are my questions and here is how the Board acted, according to 
its chair Vint Cerf.  

My questions, in brief: 
> >>a) did the Board endorse the recommendation that there be a requirement of 
> a 
  >>noncommercial certification in a future .org registration?  Such a 
certification   
  >>might > create a terrible new set of legal problems online.....  
    >>... b) challenges after registration.   Did the Board support the use 
of challenges    
  >>after the registration in .ORG -- challenges beyond the UDRP?  ....

Vint's answers:
>> the board concluded that no certification or even post-registration 
> challenge 
  >process as regards non-commercial status be introduced. ...
  > [and]
> > the board wanted to simplify the operation of .org as much as possible
> 

I will post the full exchange in my next email.  I think Vint's responses are 
good news for the future of .ORG.

regards, kathy kleiman
