Dear WG members, Below is a description of my question about possible Code of Conduct exemptions to use unaccredited registrars. (This relates to Package 2.) Anne From: Aikman-Scalese, Anne Sent: Tuesday, April 28, 2020 1:43 PM To: 'Emily Barabas' <emily.barabas@icann.org>; gnso-newgtld-wg@icann.org Cc: Jeff Neuman <jeff.neuman@comlaude.com>; Cheryl Langdon-Orr (cheryl@hovtek.com.au) <cheryl@hovtek.com.au> Subject: RE: Deadline April 30 - Comments on Revised Draft Recommendations - Package 2 Thanks Emily. I am submitting an “issues sheet” comment on Package 2 but need to clarify the question shown in the attachment. The language in 2.10.2 redrafts the affirmation regarding the requirement to use ICANN-accredited registrars. It appears to state that the WG endorses the idea that a registry can get a Code of Conduct exemption that would allow it to use unaccredited registrars. I don’t recall that being a consensus of the Working Group so I am trying to understand why the document implies that we are okay with ICANN granting exemptions from the Code of Conduct to allow registries to use unaccredited registrars. I’m sure Jeff and Cheryl can shed some light on this. It’s possible I’ll have more comments on the Package 2 before the April 30 deadline.
