The BC makes the following motion for Council consideration in our next meeting, and would appreciate a 'second'. In sum, we request that the Council ask ICANN Staff to 'slow down' the process of approving Versign's latest RSEP proposal and accept community input on it. Thanks. Whereas, Verisign has recently made a proposal for an additional registry service called "domain exchange" for the .net TLD. http://www.icann.org/en/registries/rsep/verisign-dnex-05apr10-en.pdf Whereas, it appears the proposal may permit resumption of abusive "domain tasting" activities which have been curbed by the AGP Limits policy, and therefore appropriate limitations on the proposed registry service must be considered. RESOLVED: The Council requests that Staff make the preliminary determination that this RSEP proposal requires further study and public comment, because it could raise significant issues with security and stability and/or competition.
