10
June 2008
A new public comment period
opens today for 30 days on a proposed amendment from Tralliance to Appendix 6
and 7 of the dot-travel Registry Agreement.
On 18 May 2009, ICANN posted
for public information a request submitted by Tralliance through the Registry
Services Evaluation Process (RSEP). The request calls for a phased allocation
process for one and two-character names in dot-travel.
The Tralliance proposal is
available at http://www.icann.org/registries/rsep/travel-18may09-en.pdf.
As provided for by existing
consensus policy (http://www.icann.org/en/registries/rsep/rsep.html),
ICANN performed a preliminary review to determine whether the proposal might
raise significant security, stability, or competition issues. ICANN's
determination is that the proposal does not raise such issues.
[Note that, from 13 June to
13 July 2008, ICANN conducted a public comment forum on a proposed
single-character second-level domain names allocation framework (http://www.icann.org/en/registries/rsep/proposed-scsld-allocation-framework-13jun08.htm),
which supported the allocation single-character second-level domain names in
existing registries and reviewed various allocation methods.]
The proposal requires an
amendment to the dot-travel Schedule of Reserved Names (Appendix 6) and a
description of the phased allocation program is proposed to be inserted in
Section 9 of Appendix 7. A
copy of the proposed contract amendment is available here [PDF, 20K].
Comments on the proposed amendment may be submitted to tralliance-amendment at icann.org
through 10 July 2009 23:59 UTC. Comments may be viewed at http://forum.icann.org/lists/tralliance-amendment/.
All documentation related to
the Tralliance proposal is available at http://www.icann.org/en/registries/rsep/#2009003.
