My understanding at this point in time is that there is no second to Mike's motion.

Too much multitasking. I misread the motion and withdraw my second. I expect to come back with a proposed friendly amendment. ________________________________ From: owner-council@gnso.icann.org [mailto:owner-council@gnso.icann.org] On Behalf Of Mike Rodenbaugh Sent: Monday, April 12, 2010 2:29 PM To: 'GNSO Council ' Subject: [council] Motion re VRSN RSEP request 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.

Alan, I do not believe that there is any policy or requirement that registrars offer registration periods of one year. And it should be noted that not registrars require one-year registrations.

That may be worth mentioning in the motion.
