Thank you for the email and the attachments Mary. A lot of work has been put in researching and presenting this information and it shows! I’m sure other working group members will agree that this new data is very helpful.

 

As today is the first time I’ve seen this data I have only had chance to give it an initial cursory look. With this in mind I thought it may be helpful to look a little closer at the areas that may be the most contentious / problematic before the working group call in a couple of hours: namely the domains marked “Pretending to be” in the "use status" column. (Column F in the full name raw data page and column I in the acronym raw data page)

Best regards,

 

Paul.

A lot of effort has been put in however I’m not sure of the intention as the site isn’t in English but it seems to be an Indonesian criticism site

Same IP as IGO site and has the same data in the WHOIS as the IGO

Dear all,

 

Please find attached: (1) an updated Pros/Cons document regarding Options 1 & 2 for Preliminary Recommendation #4; and (2) an illustrative, limited sampling of data of domain registrations relating to the IGOs currently on the GAC’s 2013 list. As noted in the document, none of its contents nor the data sampling is meant to indicate a staff view on the topic under discussion; rather, we are providing these in the hope that they will facilitate the Working Group’s discussion. Please note also that under the GNSO’s rules of procedure, Working Groups are encouraged to perform an impact analysis as part of preparation of final recommendations – we therefore hope that these drafts are helpful in that regard as well.

 

We will also post these to the Working Group wiki space shortly.

 

Thanks and cheers

Mary
