WHEREAS
1. On 15 December
2011, the GNSO Council launched a Policy Development Process (PDP) on the
Locking of a Domain Name subject to UDRP Proceedings to make recommendations to
the GNSO Council to address the issues identified with the locking of a domain
name subject to UDRP Proceedings.
2. This PDP has followed the
prescribed PDP steps as stated in the Bylaws, resulting in a Final Report
delivered on 5 July 2013;
3. The Locking of
a Domain Name subject to UDRP Proceedings WG has reached full consensus on the
recommendations in relation to addressing the issues identified with the locking
of a domain name subject to UDRP Proceedings;
4. The GNSO
Council has reviewed and discussed these recommendations.
Now therefore be
it resolved,
1. The GNSO
Council recommends to the ICANN Board of Directors the adoption of the Locking
of a Domain Name subject to UDRP Proceedings recommendations as detailed in the
Final Report http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/locking/domain-name-final-05jul13-en.pdf
2. The GNSO
Council shall convene a Locking of a Domain Name subject to UDRP Proceedings
Implementation Review Team to assist ICANN Staff in developing the
implementation details for the new policy should it be approved by the ICANN
Board. The Implementation Review Team will be tasked with evaluating the
proposed implementation of the policy recommendations as approved by the Board
and is expected to work with ICANN Staff to ensure that the resultant
implementation fulfills the intentions of the approved policy recommendations.
If the Implementation Review Team identifies any potential modifications to the
policy recommendations or need for new policy recommendations, the
Implementation Review Team shall refer these to the GNSO Council for its
consideration and follow-up, as appropriate. Following adoption by the ICANN
Board of the recommendations, the GNSO Secretariat is authorized to issue a call
for volunteers for a Locking of a Domain Name subject to UDRP Proceedings
Implementation Review Team to the members of the Locking of a Domain Name
subject to UDRP Proceedings Working Group.
Thank you.
