Councillors, FYI, see below the message I have just sent Patrik Faltstrom, Chair of SSAC, following one of the RAP resolves the Council approved at its last teleconference. Thanks, Stéphane Début du message réexpédié :

De : Stéphane Van Gelder <stephane.vangelder@indom.com> Objet : Cross TLD Registration Scam and Domain Kiting/Tasting Date : 17 octobre 2011 20:23:47 HAEC À : Patrik Fältström <pfaltstr@cisco.com>

Hi Patrik,

At its meeting on 6 October, in follow up to the recommendations of the Registration Abuse Policies Working Group, the GNSO Council tasked me as Chair, with regards to the recommendations on cross-TLD Registration Scam and Domain Kiting/Tasting, to communicate to the Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC) the findings of the RAP WG in this regard and request that the SSAC consider evaluating and/or monitoring these abuses. If the SSAC elects to conduct this work, the GNSO Council requests that the SSAC inform the GNSO Council if it believes that further policy work by the GNSO Council should be undertaken to address these two types of abuse'.

For your information, you will find attached to this message the findings of the RAP Working Group in relation to these issues.

Please let me know if you have any questions. I look forward to discussing this with you in Dakar if required.

Best,

Stéphane
