Whereas GNSO Council Resolution (20081218-3) dated December 18, 2008
called for the creation of a drafting team “to create a proposed charter for a working
group to investigate the open issues documented in the issues report on
Registrations[sic] Abuse Policy”.
Whereas
a drafting team has formed and its members have discussed and reviewed the open
issues documented in the issues report.
Whereas
it is the view of the drafting Team that the objective of the Working Group
should be to gather facts, define terms, provide the appropriate focus and
definition of the policy issue(s), if any, to be addressed, in order to enable
the GNSO Council to make an informed decision as to whether to launch PDP on
registration abuse.
Whereas
the drafting team recommends that the GNSO Council charter a Working Group to
(i) further define and research the issues outlined in the Registration Abuse
Policies Issues Report; and (ii) take the steps outlined below. The Working
Group should complete its work before a decision is taken by the GNSO Council
on whether to launch a PDP.
The
GNSO Council RESOLVES:
To form a Working Group of
interested stakeholders and Constituency representatives, to collaborate
broadly with knowledgeable individuals and organizations, to further define and
research the issues outlined in the Registration Abuse Policies Issues Report;
and take the steps outlined in the Charter. The Working Group should address
the issues outlined in the Charter and report back to the GNSO Council within
90 days following the end of the ICANN meeting in
CHARTER
Scope and
definition of registration abuse – the Working Group should define domain name
registration abuse, as distinct from abuse arising solely from use of a domain
name while it is registered. The Working Group should also identify which
aspects of the subject of registration abuse are within ICANN's mission to
address and which are within the set of topics on which ICANN may establish
policies that are binding on gTLD registry operators and ICANN-accredited
registrars. This task
should include an illustrative categorization of known abuses.
Additional research and identifying concrete policy issues
– The issues report
outlines a number of areas where additional research would be needed in order
to understand what problems may exist in relation to registration abuse and
their scope, and to fully appreciate the current practices of contracted
parties, including research to:
In
addition, additional research should be conducted to include the practices of
relevant entities other than the contracted parties, such as abusers,
registrants, law enforcement, service providers, and so on.
The
Working Group should determine how this research can be conducted in a timely
and efficient manner -- by the Working Group itself via a Request for Information (RFI), by obtaining expert advice, and/or by
exploring other options.
Based
on the additional research and information, the Working Group should identify
and recommend specific policy issues and processes for further consideration by
the GNSO Council.
SSAC Participation and Collaboration
The Working Group should (i)
consider inviting a
representative from the Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC) to
participate in the Working Group;
(ii) consider in further
detail the SSAC’s invitation to the GNSO Council to participate in a collaborative effort on abuse
contacts; and (iii) make a recommendation to the
Council about this invitation.
Workshop at ICANN meeting in Mexico City on Registration
Abuse Policies - In order to get broad input on and understanding of the specific nature
of concerns from community stakeholders, the drafting team proposes to organize
a workshop on registration abuse policies in conjunction with the ICANN meeting
in Mexico City. The Working Group should review and take into account the
discussions and recommendations, if any, from this workshop in its
deliberations.
