Motion on the Initiation of a Policy Development Process on Uniformity of Contracts to Address Registration Abuse
Fellow Councillors, You may recall that this motion was made in advance of, and was therefore on the agenda, of our Toronto meeting. In the event, the motion was not seconded before or in Toronto and was withdrawn prior to the Council voting on it. Moreover, the motion has not yet been resubmitted for consideration at our forthcoming meeting (15 November 2012). However, an Issues Report was requested by the Council and since we now have the Final Issues Report, I understand that our procedures require us to vote on whether or not to initiate a PDP and to not defer this vote for more than one meeting. Therefore, for procedural reasons, I am re-submitting the motion below to the Council for consideration and to be voted on at our forthcoming meeting (15 November 2012). Thank-you, Jonathan -------------------- WHEREAS: The Registration Abuse Policies Working Group (RAPWG) recommended in its Final Report 'the creation of an Issues Report to evaluate whether a minimum baseline of registration abuse provisions should be created for all in-scope ICANN agreements, and if created, how such language would be structured to address the most common forms of registration abuse'; The GNSO Council requested an Issue Report to evaluate whether a minimum baseline of registration abuse provisions should be created for all in scope ICANN agreements, and if created, how such language would be structured to address the most common forms of registration abuse on 6 October 2011; ICANN Staff posted the Preliminary Issue Report on Uniformity of Contracts on 25 July 2012 for public comment (see <http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/uoc-prelim-issue-report-25jul12 -en.htm> http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/uoc-prelim-issue-report-25jul12- en.htm); ICANN Staff reviewed the comments received and updated the report accordingly; The Final Issue Report on Uniformity of Contracts was published on 20 September 2012; The Final Issue Report recommends that the GNSO Council proceed with a Policy Development Process limited to consideration of the issues discussed in this report, and the General Counsel of ICANN has indicated the topic is properly within the scope of the ICANN policy process and within the scope of the GNSO. THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT: The GNSO will initiate a PDP on the issues defined in the Final Issue Report on Uniformity of Contracts (link) A DT will be formed to create a charter for a Working Group, which will be submitted to the GNSO Council for its approval. Following the approval of the charter, a Working Group will be created for the purpose of fulfilling the requirements of the PDP."
