Further to Maria's
invitation to post specific questions for ICANN's GC let me add one further
question to the three (repeated 1,2,3 below) already asked by Marilyn
Cade.
Questions
1. What is the
situation in terms of the impact of the negotiated terms
in the .net agreement on other contracts, including
.com?
2. What is the
role of Consensus Policy related to the .net agreement
in the two areas where it appears that there is variance: definition of security
and stability, and Consensus Policy on new registry services: e.g., is there a
time lapse when consensus policy, whatever it is, again is in
force?
3. Are other
registries actually disadvantaged by being subject to
Consensus Policy in a way that is “disparate” as suggested in Mr. Neuman’s
email?
-------
4. The GNSO Council
wants to fulfil its duty under the by-laws to develop Consensus Policy in good
faith. How do you advise the GNSO Council to proceed, if
there will indeed be a potential competitive variance between the treatment of
the .net registry and others, with respect to the GNSO
Council's current PDP on Registry
Services?
