Implementation of AGP Restriction Consensus Policy
[Apologies for the interruption - this message is intended for the staff person(s) responsible for the implementation of the AGP restriction consensus policy. I meant to ask in our last Council call, but forgot.] If I've remembered the dates correctly, March 31 was the deadline for implementation, and the monthly reports for April (which are due about now, I think) should reflect that implementation. Was the implementation deadline met by all registries and will ICANN be receiving reports for April from all of them that reflect that implementation? If not, which ones didn't meet that deadline and when will they? Many thanks! Kristina Kristina Rosette Covington & Burling LLP 1201 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.

Kristina, I can only speak for VeriSign. We met the deadline and our April reports will reflect the results of the implementation. Chuck

Hi Kristina, Here is the status report I provided to Policy staff in advance of the last GNSO Council call knowing that I would not be available to update on the call itself. - An advisory on the implementation of the AGP Limits Policy was made to the community on 17 December 2008, and called for roll-out of the Policy as soon as possible and no later than 31 March 2009 for an effective date of 1 April 2009. - 15 of the 16 gTLD registries are required to implement the Policy since they offer an AGP to their registrars. - 12 of the 15 gTLD registries reported in February 2009 that they will implement the Policy effective 1 April 2009. - 3 of the 15 gTLD registries (.MOBI, .ASIA and .AERO) requested a one-month extension and have provided notice that they will implement the Policy effective 1 May 2009. - The new reporting requirements of the Policy are due to be reflected for the 12 gTLD registries in the reports they are required to submit by 20 May 2009 for the April reporting period. Monthly registry reports for April 2009 will be publicly available on ICANN’s website on or after 1 August 2009 in observance of the three-month confidentiality period for registry reports. The new reporting requirements are: - Number of exemption requests - Number of exemptions granted - Number of names affected by granted exemption request - Number of AGP deletes (domains-deleted-grace) if this information is not currently defined in the Operator's monthly reporting requirement AGP deletes information: - On 13 November 2008, an announcement on the ICANN website reported that AGP deletes had decreased by 84% (17.6 million to 2.8 million) from the period June 2008 to July 2008 following implementation of the ICANN Board approved AGP Budget Provision. This provision called for an assessment of the registrar-level transaction fee, US$0.20 at that time, for all AGP deletes that exceed the threshold defined in provision. The threshold of this provision, and that of the AGP Limits Policy, is 10% of the net adds for the month or 50 whichever is greater. - The AGP Budget Provision is due to expire on 30 June 2009 at the conclusion of ICANN’s fiscal year. - For the period July 2008 through January 2009, the average monthly AGP deletes figure is 2.8 million. Please let me know if you have further questions about this information.
