GNSO Council Meeting 18 December

[Robin Gross]

Hi Bill,

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).

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.

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.

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.

Best,
Robin
