All, It is my understanding that despite the original author of a motion wanting the withdraw, the motion may indeed still be on the table if 2 Councilors support the motion staying on the table. I cannot say whether that will happen, but in the event it does (or if it comes up later), I have to correct the Friendly Amendment proposed by the Registries. It should read: * Creating anti-abuse terms of service for possible inclusion in Registrar-Registrant agreements by registrars who adopt them, and for use by TLD operators who adopt them. So the full amendment would read: RESOLVED #3, the GNSO Council requests an Issue Report on the creation of non-binding best practices to help registrars and registries address the illicit use of domain names in accordance with Registration Abuse Policies Working Group Final Report. This effort should consider (but not be limited the following subjects: * Practices for identifying stolen credentials * Practices for identifying and investigating common forms of malicious use (such as malware and phishing) * Creating anti-abuse terms of service for possible inclusion in Registrar-Registrant agreements by registrars who adopt them, and for use by TLD operators who adopt them. * Identifying compromised/hacked domains versus domain registered by abusers * Practices for suspending domain names * Account access security management * Security resources of use or interest to registrars and registries * Survey registrars and registries to determine practices being used, and their adoption rates. I hope this is still treated as friendly. Jeffrey J.

From: Neuman, Jeff Sent: Wednesday, February 02, 2011 3:14 PM To: 'GNSO Council' Subject: Proposed Friendly Amendment to Zahid's Amendment to RAP motion All, The RySG is proposing a friendly amendment to Zahid's proposed amendment to the RAP Motion. We understand Zahid's motion is not considered friendly by Tim, so there will be a vote on Zahid's proposal. As discussed on an RySG call this morning, the RySG will support Zahid's proposed amendment if his motion is amended by adding the word "possible" in the sentence: * Creating anti-abuse terms of service for possible inclusion in Registrar-Registrant agreements, and for use by TLD operators. So the full amendment would read: RESOLVED #3, the GNSO Council requests an Issue Report on the creation of non-binding best practices to help registrars and registries address the illicit use of domain names in accordance with Registration Abuse Policies Working Group Final Report. This effort should consider (but not be limited the following subjects: * Practices for identifying stolen credentials * Practices for identifying and investigating common forms of malicious use (such as malware and phishing) * Creating anti-abuse terms of service for possible inclusion in Registrar-Registrant agreements, and for use by TLD operators. * Identifying compromised/hacked domains versus domain registered by abusers * Practices for suspending domain names * Account access security management * Security resources of use or interest to registrars and registries * Survey registrars and registries to determine practices being used, and their adoption rates. The rationale is that the premise of the work is for the creation of non-binding best practices and adding this word is in line with that notion. We hope this will be considered friendly. Thanks.
