ICANN Final Status Report to the GNSO Council on AGP Limits Policy Implementation
by Benedetta Rossi 06 Jun '11

06 Jun '11

Dear BC Members, Attached is the final status report on Add Grace Period Limits. The staff language is quite laudatory about the results of the AGP. This is an informational posting for BC members' consideration. If you have concerns, please post them to the bc-gnso list to the attention of the ExComm. Kindest Regards, Benedetta Rossi BC Secretariat ICANN Final Status Report to the GNSO Council on AGP Limits Policy Implementation2 June 2011http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-02jun11-en.htmICANN today is posting its fifth and final status report [PDF, 316 KB] to the GNSO on the implementation of its recommendations for the Add Grace Period (AGP) Limits Policy. As noted in prior status reports, the success of the Policy is evidenced by the 99.7% reduction in AGP deletes since the Policy went into effect in April 2009. ICANN committed to analyzing and reporting on the effects of the Policy to the GNSO at six-month intervals for two years after its implementation. The first status report [PDF, 41 KB] was issued on 10 June 2009, the second status report [PDF, 61 KB] on 14 December 2009, the third status report [PDF, 224 KB] on 1 June 2010, and the fourth status report [PDF, 312 KB] on 18 November 2010. The purpose of these reports has been “to allow the GNSO to determine when, if ever, these recommendations and any ensuing policy require additional clarification or attention based on the results of the reports prepared by ICANN Staff.” Presented in a prior report was that during GNSO calls in April and May 2010, following inquiry from ICANN Staff about whether or not additional Policy work should be considered, the GNSO decided that the success of the Policy and the low number of exemption requests demonstrated that modifications to the Policy were not warranted at that time. Further, since the time of those calls there have not been any additional GSNO discussions about the Policy and the number and frequency of reported exemption requests from registrars has dropped considerably. The results of the AGP Limits Policy illustrate the success of ICANN’s consensus-driven, bottom-up policy development process. Community members identified the problem, initiated policy discussions, generated a solution, and now monitor the results. The ICANN practice of encouraging and considering broad community input on policy issues leads to effective results.

Re: [bc-gnso] Policy Calendar for 2-Jun-2011 BC Member call

I think the price control issue deserves BC attention. I am not personally affected, but my understanding of the business entities with large defensive portfolios, or just portfolios, is that price increases, even on selective names like brands, could affect them negatively. Steve, did I understand from you that the BC would need a rapporteur on this? Marilyn Cade Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T -----Original Message----- From: Frederick Felman <Frederick.Felman(a)markmonitor.com> Date: Thu, 2 Jun 2011 22:58:27 To: <bc-gnso(a)icann.org> Subject: Re: [bc-gnso] Policy Calendar for 2-Jun-2011 BC Member call Marilyn - Thanks for asking for our comment on the relaxation of price controls on the call today. I'm sorry that I was unable to get to a place that was quiet enough to respond. I'm at a conference and there was too much background noise. MM does believe that this is a legitimate and material concern for our clients. Further, I'm sorry that I had to leave the call early. If there are follow-up items or support that you need from us Elisa and I are happy to discuss via email.
