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.
