Consultation Open on the RAA
by Nick Ashton-Hart July 27, 2007

July 27, 2007

Dear All: Today the official consultation opens on the registrar accreditation agreement. You can see the announcement below and also at http:// www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-27jul07.htm. NOTE: There is a new section at www.alac.icann.org for open public consultations and this will show up there very soon. ICANN Starts Consultation on How to Protect Registrants Public, stakeholder comments sought on changes to Registrar Accreditation Agreement 27 July 2007 MARINA DEL REY, Calif.: Increased protection for those registering domain names is ICANN’s goal as it launches consultations on its Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA) and the accreditation process for companies who register domains. “I called for the review of RAA and the accreditation back in March, and I’m pleased to be moving into the active consultation phase,” said Dr Paul Twomey, ICANN’s CEO and President. “The need for this review is clear. The current RAA is more than six years old. We’ve seen the number of accredited registrars grow to more than 900. And we’ve seen the incredible difficulties that can be unleashed with the collapse of a Registrar.” The RAA is the contract that governs the relationship between ICANN and its accredited registrars. The current version was put in place in May 2001. The same contract is in place between ICANN and each of the more than 900 accredited registrars (a directory of which can be found at http://www.internic.net/regist.html ). The consultation is looking for ideas and input on amendments to the RAA and the registrar accreditation process in order to provide additional protection to registrants. Previous discussions in the ICANN community has already helped create a number of suggestions for discussion, which are: Incorporating provisions to govern the terms under which a registrar can be sold and continue to retain its ICANN accreditation. Including additional contract enforcement tools offering more options than the current one option – terminating accreditation. Addressing the responsibilities of a parent owner/manager when one or more of a “family” of registrars fails to comply with ICANN requirements. Requiring registrars to escrow contact information for customers who register domain names using Whois privacy and Whois proxy services. Augmenting the responsibilities placed on registrars with regard to their relationships with resellers. Requiring operator skills training and testing for all ICANN- accredited Registrars. Details of these proposals, as well as the consultation process, are available on ICANN”s website at http://www.icann.org/topics/raa/. The consultation stems from ICANN board resolutions made at the San Juan 29th International Public meeting held in June 2007. Those resolutions call for ICANN staff to solicit and consider the input of the Internet community regarding proposed changes to the RAA, registrar accreditation process, and related policies. A complete summary and analysis of community feedback will be made available at the end of the comment period and suggested amendments to the RAA will be posted for further comment. There will be a publicly available assessment of the impact that the input and comment had on the development of the amendments. “These consultations will make sure we have input from the wider community, and help us make the changes needed to protect registrants,” added Dr Twomey. About ICANN: ICANN is responsible for the global coordination of the Internet's system of unique identifiers like domain names (like .org, .museum and country codes like .uk) and the addresses used in a variety of Internet protocols that help computers reach each other over the Internet. Careful management of these resources is vital to the Internet's operation, so ICANN's global stakeholders meet regularly to develop policies that ensure the Internet's ongoing security and stability. ICANN is an internationally organized, public benefit non- profit company.

Things to discuss
by Jeanette Hofmann July 13, 2007

July 13, 2007

Hello, EURALO should get started and there are several things that need clarification in order to get started. To name just a few: 1 EURALO board: * We need to elect chairs * We need to clarify the role of the board (is it of a more coordinative nature or is its role an initializing one?) 2 Work plan * We need to discuss what issues we want to adress in the coming months and we need to agree on what our priorities are. I guess we all agree that we won't be able to cover all the topics ICANN is dealing with. We need to be selective, and it would be good to have a discussion on this list on what matters to us and why. ** 3 Board meeting * The Euralo Board should meet after (or during?) the summer break. Where and when? In combination with another meeting? Two possibilities come to mind: ** We could meet in Geneva on the first weekend in September preceding the next open consultation of the IGF. ** We could meet in mid October in Warsaw at Wolfgang's Studienkreismeeting (Oct. 10/11). What do people think? Best, Jeanette and Wolf
