PPSAI Colleagues – 

 

I suggest we further explore ALAC’s proposal. Of particular interest to myself and GAC colleagues are:

·        Exactly how contractual obligations – belonging to the Registrar – would be propagated “downstream”.

·        Clearly identifying how proxy programs operated by Resellers (at any point in the domain resale chain) or any third parties are addressed by policy. 

·        Ensuring that important customer-protecting ICANN initiatives – such as data escrow and informing customers of their rights and responsibilities – are fit for purpose.

·        Clarity as to whether/how ICANN Compliance can meaningly enforce pass-through requirements.

 

We anticipate GAC conversation on these issues and principles in Seville. We wished to note our interest early so as to encourage further discussion of this proposal.

Can we implement Alan’s proposal and finalise this IRT? I am very supportive of it.

I've lost track of which documents are still open for comments and which are closed. And despite Jessica's suggestion that we continue the discussion on the list, I have seen no traffic.

 

So in preparation for our meeting this week, I thought I would recap the proposal that I made towards the end of our last meeting. 

 

1. Since there does not seem to be any appetite for designing and implementing a P/P accreditation program separate from the RAA, all P/P providers should be accredited via clauses in the RAA. We can later work out whether this is not by Opt-out, Opt-in or simply by having the appropriate clauses apply IF a P/P service is to be offered. Either of the last two will probably be easier to implement, given the rest of my proposal


2. P/P providers are defined as those entities that provide P/P services and are bound by the aforementioned provisions of the RAA. Any registration must therefore either provide the name and contact information of the beneficial user, or provide the equivalent information of the P/P provider. 


3. This removes any concern with “knowingly”, because the only P/P providers meeting the definition ARE known.


4. The sections of the RAA that require obligations to be passed down to resellers will apply to any P/P provisions as well.


5. These same provisions must require these same obligations to be passed down to any resellers of resellers (and all the way down the chain).


6. P/P providers associated with the reseller chain must notify their registrar and thus ICANN. Presumably, there will also be a flag in the public registration data indicating that a P/P provider is involved.


7. Since all of these possible P/P providers are bound by the applicable RAA clauses, all registration data, including those with P/P provided by resellers, will be subject to Escrow requirements protecting registrants, in the case of reseller failure.
