> MOTION on Registration Abuse Policies Charter
> ================================================
>
> Proposed by Kristina Rosette
> Seconded by Mike Rodenbaugh
>
> Whereas GNSO Council Resolution (20081218-3) dated December 18, 2008  
> called for the creation of a drafting team "to create a proposed  
> charter for a working group to investigate the open issues  
> documented in the issues report on Registrations[sic] Abuse Policy".
>
> Whereas a drafting team has formed and its members have discussed  
> and reviewed the open issues documented in the issues report.
>
> Whereas it is the view of the drafting Team that the objective of  
> the Working Group should be to gather facts, define terms, provide  
> the appropriate focus and definition of the policy issue(s), if any,  
> to be addressed, in order to enable the GNSO Council to make an  
> informed decision as to whether to launch PDP on registration abuse.
>
> Whereas the drafting team recommends that the GNSO Council charter a  
> Working Group to (i) further define and research the issues outlined  
> in the Registration Abuse Policies Issues Report; and (ii) take the  
> steps outlined below. The Working Group should complete its work  
> before a decision is taken by the GNSO Council on whether to launch  
> a PDP.
>
> The GNSO Council RESOLVES:
> To form a Working Group of interested stakeholders and Constituency  
> representatives, to collaborate broadly with knowledgeable  
> individuals and organizations, to further define and research the  
> issues outlined in the Registration Abuse Policies Issues Report;  
> and take the steps outlined in the Charter. The Working Group should  
> address the issues outlined in the Charter and report back to the  
> GNSO Council within 90 days following the end of the ICANN meeting  
> in Mexico City.
>
> CHARTER
> Scope and definition of registration abuse - the Working Group  
> should define domain name registration abuse, as distinct from abuse  
> arising solely from use of a domain name while it is registered. The  
> Working Group should also identify which aspects of the subject of  
> registration abuse are within ICANN's mission to address and which  
> are within the set of topics on which ICANN may establish policies  
> that are binding on gTLD registry operators and ICANN-accredited  
> registrars. This task should include an illustrative categorization  
> of known abuses.
>
> Additional research and identifying concrete policy issues - The  
> issues report outlines a number of areas where additional research  
> would be needed in order to understand what problems may exist in  
> relation to registration abuse and their scope, and to fully  
> appreciate the current practices of contracted parties, including  
> research to:
>
> 'Understand if registration abuses are occurring that might be  
> curtailed or better addressed if consistent registration abuse  
> policies were established'
>
> 'Determine if and how [registration] abuse is dealt with in those  
> registries [and registrars] that do not have any specific [policies]  
> in place'
>
> 'Identify how these registration abuse provisions are [...]  
> implemented in practice or deemed effective in addressing  
> registration abuse'.
>
> In addition, additional research should be conducted to include the  
> practices of relevant entities other than the contracted parties,  
> such as abusers, registrants, law enforcement, service providers,  
> and so on.
>
> The Working Group should determine how this research can be  
> conducted in a timely and efficient manner -- by the Working Group  
> itself via a Request for Information (RFI), by obtaining expert  
> advice, and/or by exploring other options.
>
> Based on the additional research and information, the Working Group  
> should identify and recommend specific policy issues and processes  
> for further consideration by the GNSO Council.
>
> SSAC Participation and Collaboration
> The Working Group should (i) consider inviting a representative from  
> the Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC) to participate  
> in the Working Group; (ii) consider in further detail the SSAC's  
> invitation to the GNSO Council to participate in a collaborative  
> effort on abuse contacts; and (iii) make a recommendation to the  
> Council about this invitation.
>
> Workshop at ICANN meeting in Mexico City on Registration Abuse  
> Policies - In order to get broad input on and understanding of the  
> specific nature of concerns from community stakeholders, the  
> drafting team proposes to organize a workshop on registration abuse  
> policies in conjunction with the ICANN meeting in Mexico City. The  
> Working Group should review and take into account the discussions  
> and recommendations, if any, from this workshop in its deliberations.
>
> The working group established by this motion will work according to  
> the process defined in working_group_process.
