OLD
While the BC generally supports the renewal of the .NET
registry agreement including Verisign’s requested changes, the BC recommends
that the .NET registry adhere to selected requirements mandated by the new gTLD
Program.
NEW
The BC believes in the principle of equal treatment. Under
this as ICANN's contracts evolve to suit changing market conditions, the ICANN
contract renewal process should be the opportunity to upgrade older contracts
to the new standards. This is fair both from a public interest perspective and
from a competition law perspective. Under the ICANN process the contract
parties are in the room when the conditions for new market entrants are being
set. Under these unusual circumstances the contract parties cannot expect their
older contracts to be immune from the changes they themselves are imposing on
their future competitors.
In the context of .NET therefore, ICANN should seek as a
fundamental principle to amend this contract to equate with the requirements of
the new gTLD program.
Specific requirements of interest to the BC are the
