Mikey I've taken another quick look at this and would support your response. Regards Tony From: owner-ispcp@gnso.icann.org [mailto:owner-ispcp@gnso.icann.org] On Behalf Of Mike O'Connor Sent: 14 August 2012 13:31 To: ispcp@icann.org Subject: [ispcp] Registration Abuse -- uniformity of contracts -- public comment -- due TOMORROW (argh) Importance: High hi all, sorry, this one snuck by me. it is also one i would like us to support -- i was on the RAP working group that triggered this issue report. it's comment period is closing TOMORROW (argh). http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/uoc-prelim-issue-report-25jul12- en.htm would anybody object if i wrote a very short email that simply says that the ISPCP supports the findings of this Issue Report and encourages the Council to proceed with initiating a PDP? here's my preliminary draft To whom it may concern, The ISPCP supports the findings in this issue report and encourages the GNSO Council to proceed with a PDP to better understand the value of uniform provisions to address registration abuse -- and the drawbacks that may result as well. The ISPCP supports the idea of developing: - a framework of metrics to measure the extent and trends of registration abuse activity - a benchmark study that can be used to understand the current state of the problem and which can also be used as the basis to evaluate the effectiveness of various registration abuse provisions and policies - an ongoing reporting mechanism that can be used to track changes in the level and nature of registration abuse activity as well as continuously evaluate the effectiveness of changes in policy and practice - an evaluation of the benefit that may be gained by establishing a consistent minimum framework of registration abuse prevention activities and provisions that is applicable across gTLD registries and ICANN-accredited registrars The ISPCP wishes to thank the staff for their efforts, and encourage the GNSO Council to move forward with chartering a PDP to address the recommendations made in this report. Sincerely, Mikey O'Connor (ISPCP rapporteur) again, sorry for the late/sketchy work here. mikey - - - - - - - - - phone 651-647-6109 fax 866-280-2356 web http://www.haven2.com handle OConnorStP (ID for public places like Twitter, Facebook, Google, etc.)
