Re: [At-Large] OFF LIST
Hi, Kristina... Technically I am on the RAP wg, but it's been going on so long now, I have not been participating much for a while. That said, yes, the group is working on a definition of cybersquatting, and, yes, that description is relatively accurate. The RAP is working to define just about every individual term you can imagine, which is why it's taking so long. -----Original Message-----

Beau,
Are you on the RAP WG? Are you all working on a definition of cybersquatting?
During the RAA-2 WG (poss RAA amendments) call yesterday, one amendment that we discussed was to prohibit registrars from cybersquatting. The next thing I knew, we were talking about needing to define it, that RAP WG was working on it, but that status was uncertain.

Maybe you should consider sitting in on a meeting of the registration abuse policies working group, which has been going on almost a year.

"well established legal due processes and protections."
And in the case of a Russian-mob operated chain of sites that sell vicodin (or a version thereof) all over the world to anyone who will pay, using registrations obtained in the US with false WHOIS data, where exactly is the "well established legal due processes and protections"? No-one's talking about medical marijuana in California.
This is about (among other types of drugs), Class IV controlled substances. Note that "The United States is a party to the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs of 1961, designed to establish effective
control over international and domestic traffic in narcotics, coca leaf, cocaine, and cannabis. A second treaty, the Convention on Psychotropic Substances of 1971, which entered into force in 1976, is
designed to establish comparable control over stimulants, depressants, and hallucinogens. Congress ratified this treaty in 1980." (http://www.justice.gov/dea/pubs/abuse/1-csa.htm)
Why anyone would care to read all this stuff on a ICANN's email list ?
While somehow I find the Whois issue related to ICANN's agreements with
the contracted parties providing name registration services, determining that the use of a domain name is illicit or being used for any illicit purpose is way outside the scope and mandate of ICANN.
We should frame the discussion in the appropriate context if there is one.
