The comment period ends 13-Apr. (UDRP is the Uniform Domain MC> Name Dispute Resolution Policy) MC> MC> MC> MC> MC> MC> MC> Note: ACDR is the Arab Center for Domain Name Dispute Resolution, MC> and is affiliated with BC Member Talal Abu-Ghazaleh. MC> MC> MC> MC> Phil Corwin and Nat Cohen volunteered as rapporteurs for these MC> comments. We circulated Phil's initial draft on 20-Mar. The BC MC> held a conference call on 28-March with ACDR representatives to MC> discuss the first draft (transcript available on request). MC> MC> MC> MC> MC> MC> MC> As a result of that discussion, the BC is now considering two alternative positions: MC> MC> MC> MC> MC> Version 1: The existing BC position, with no comment on the MC> merits of ACDR's proposal. This would maintain the present BC MC> position that no new providers should be approved until ICANN has MC> standards for UDRP administration. MC> MC> MC> MC> Version 2: Amend the present BC position and give "Qualified MC> Endorsement" to ACDR's proposal. MC> MC> This alternative repeats the BC's prior rationale for ICANN to MC> develop standards for UDRP administration. It then modifies the MC> prior position to acknowledge that ICANN may approve ACDR's MC> proposal since they have acknowledged process concerns, answered MC> questions, and agreed to adopt any standards ICANN develops. The MC> endorsement is "qualified" in that the BC requests ICANN to MC> develop standards for UDRP administration, and suggests a MC> staff-driven process with community input. MC> MC> MC> MC> Voting: MC> MC> MC> MC> BC members should vote for either Version 1 or Version 2. MC> MC> MC> MC> To vote, please reply to this email indicating your support for Version 1 or Version 2. MC> MC> MC> MC> Voting will close on 12-April so that we can submit the comment on 13-April. MC> MC> MC> MC> Per our charter, a simple majority prevails and the required MC> quorum is 50 percent of paid BC members.
