[NCUC-DISCUSS] Fwd: [council] Board-GAC Discussion on RVCs

[Tomslin Samme-Nlar]

Hi NCUC,

I believe RVCs are on the Forum Agenda. See below new information that has
come through on this topic which I believe might be helpful in your
discussion tomorrow.

Warmly,
Tomslin

All,

The ICANN Board has determined that they cannot have RVCs in Registry
Commitments at all if they restrict content.  In other words, the ICANN
Board believes that it will violate their bylaws even if a registry
outsources the enforcement of RVCs, if the RVC is documented in the
Registry Agreement.  Apparently, this is in a resolution passed by ICANN
this past weekend.

The Board believes that Registries can work out their own regimes to
enforce content restrictions, but they cannot be in the ICANN Agreement.

I am not sure what this means even in connection with sensitive strings.
We will have to talk to the Board about this.  I am also not sure what this
means if the GAC provides advice against a string that involves content.
How will that be resolved?


Sincerely,

Jeff Neuman
GNSO Liaison to GAC
