Registrant Protections Discussion
At our last meeting on January 19th at 20 UTC we introduced the Registrant Protections (EBERO, COI, and When Registrants don't apply topics). While these topics are vast and much can be discussed, we are unable to spend all of our time discussing during our bi-weekly hour meetings. Therefore, I would like to continue this discussion over email. I attach here the same presentation material we used in the meeting in order to provide everyone with the necessary background information. However, I have pulled out the questions from the presentation and listed them below. These same questions will be copied to the Issues Area Working Document <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YsbOmz06YbXBkUQpj1rljVo-bTH-Br5Ju6cVJvpb...>. Perhaps it is easier, however, to have a discussion on a consistent email thread. Key feedback will also be moved to the document. I invite everyone to provide their opinion to the questions below. *Critical Registry Functions:* *Are the current Critical Registry Functions still sufficient or do changes need to be made? * *Has any registry gone above the Emergency Threshold before?* *Has the level of the Emergency Threshold ever been reached that would initiate an emergency escalation or EBERO?* *COI:* *Are the cost measurements for the COI still sufficient to cover the critical functions for EBERO?* *Is the time period for the COI sufficient (i.e. 6 years from the execution date of the RA)?* *Are the requirements for the Letter of Credit still sufficient?* *Can other models besides the Letter of Credit and the Cash Escrow Deposit be considered for the COI requirements?* *In regards to TLDs like Brand TLDs and Code of Conduct exempt TLDs where Registrants may not be necessary to protect:* *Should more relevant rules be established for certain specific cases or categories of TLDs?* Below are additional questions I would like to add on material we were not able to cover in the last meeting. These are kind of last minute additions and the questions could probably be refined. *In regards to Background Checks on applicants:* *Are the background checks a sufficient mechanism for protecting Registrants?Do the requirements for Background Checks in regards to (1) General business diligence and criminal history and (2) History of cybersquatting behavior prove sufficient and/or necessary for TLDs where Registrant Protections may not be necessary?* I have a few other additional questions I would like to ask, but need more time to formulate them. Please let me know your thoughts. Kind regards, Michael Flemming
And I just realized I forgot the attachment. I will follow up with that. It is also in the agenda sent last week and the wiki page for the 19 January meeting. Regards, Michael Flemming 2017年1月24日火曜日、Michael Flemming<flemming@brightsconsulting.com>さんは書きました:

*Critical Registry Functions:*

*Has any registry gone above the Emergency Threshold before?*
*Has the level of the Emergency Threshold ever been reached that would initiate an emergency escalation or EBERO?*
*COI:*
*Are the cost measurements for the COI still sufficient to cover the critical functions for EBERO?*
*Is the time period for the COI sufficient (i.e. 6 years from the execution date of the RA)?*
*Are the requirements for the Letter of Credit still sufficient?*
*Can other models besides the Letter of Credit and the Cash Escrow Deposit be considered for the COI requirements?*
*In regards to TLDs like Brand TLDs and Code of Conduct exempt TLDs where Registrants may not be necessary to protect:*
*Should more relevant rules be established for certain specific cases or categories of TLDs?*
Below are additional questions I would like to add on material we were not able to cover in the last meeting. These are kind of last minute additions and the questions could probably be refined.

Dear All, This is the email that I rotated last week in regards to Registrant Protections. I also attach the background material from our previous meeting. This week we will try to look at the Background Checks as well. However, I want to keep discussion in regards to the Registrant Protections over email as much as possible since we have already spent a meeting on this. We will move forward with T&Cs of the Applicant Guidebook for this week. Kind regards, ――――――――――――――――――――――――――― GMO Brights Consulting Inc.
