fucked.nyc
by Joly MacFie Sept. 21, 2018

Sept. 21, 2018

I have just been contacted by the former registrant of fucked.nyc. He registered it via namecheap.com on March 3 2015 and renewed it earlier this week. On Feb 18 2017 he received a msg from Neustar informing him that it had been found non-compliant with the "Seven Word Policy" and deleted. Neustar advised him to contact his registrar for any refunds they might care to make. He contacted NameCheap who essentially said "Forgettaboutit'", despite him pointing out that at no time had he been notified about, or agreed to be bound by, any such policy. Here is NameCheap's response: *Recently, you contacted our Live Chat support regarding deletion offucked.nyc <http://fucked.nyc/>. Feel free to use chat ID XQR-359-35382 for reference.We wanted to let you know, that we have forwarded a suggestion about special notices for .NYC domains to the corresponding team.We are really sorry that you faced such a situation and our replies were not so helpful. Different Registry companies can have different policies in regards of registration their domains and they usually reserve a right to change their requirements or delete domains which do not meet them.This does not happen often, still it is not possible to keep customers informed about all the Registry policies or their changes on a contant manner, to our regret.The amount you paid for the domain purchase was used to register/renew the domain at the .NYC Registry. However, the Registry still can delete domains without any refund if they do not meet their requirements. We are working on improving our performance and hopefully special messages on the site can help to avoid such situations in future.If you have questions or require assistance, feel free to contact us at any time.* The registrant did some further research and surmised that Neustar's vigilance could well be due to my Feb 6 letter <http://isoc-ny.org/misc/2017-02-06_isoc-ny_dotnyc.pdf> pointing out they were asleep at the wheel. It appeared to him the relevant page <http://www.ownit.nyc/restricted-reserved> had been hurriedly updated. Since, apparently he has other domains that might also be considered variants on the 7 words, he got back on to Neustar for some clarification, demanded to see a list. 'Guy' at Neustar support informed him that nothing of the like existed - that it was decided on case by case basis - and to add insult to injury sany deleted restricted names might, as policies change, be released and sold to the highest bidder without any recourse for the original registrant. Thus he writes *I have concluded that all of my .nyc domain names (more than 20) were registered without binding terms or a policy of any kind on behalf of Namecheap or Neustar / ownit.nyc <http://ownit.nyc/>, and I suspect that this is a case for a large percentage of sold .nyc domains. Yet my domain name was seized for a breach of policy, a policy I was never introduced to nor agreed to. If any of my other names are added to the list, they can seize it at any time, despite the fact that I've owned them for 2 years now.* *The greatest ethical concern I have is that an entity operating in this way reserves the right to put a domain name on the reserved/restricted list at any point in time, even if it was already sold and owned for 2 years. I was informed by "Guy" at Neustar support that there is a possibility reserved/restricted names will be released in the future, however they are released back to the public (they go back up for sale), not to the original owner. I have many .nyc domain names that appear as variations according to their list.* *Where is the oversight? Who is to prevent Neustar from seizing a domain name for a period of time, then conveniently releasing it later only to buy it themselves using an alias or through a third party?* <snip> *It just doesn't seem right. If Neustar was unable to properly inform name holders on policy creations, changes, and updates in the past 5 years on city tax dollars, I don't think they should operate for another second. It shouldn't take a committee to generate a "no", I think their shady track record in the past 5 years speaks for itself. And this being New York City, we deserve better.* I've responded to him, noting that 7 word policy is in the City's .nyc contract (appears to have been published April 1 2015, and the .nyc Acceptable Use Policy (which doesn't mention that policy but says they can delete at will) has been public since July 2014. Caveat emptor. I noted that Neustar is obligated to file copies of Registrar Registry Agreements with the City, and he could FOIL it to see if NameCheap had met their obligations. I also opined that, in the unlikely event Neustar were to resell a previously deleted name, they would be asking for trouble, However I think he rightfully raises the wider issue of the right of registrants to be properly informed of restrictive gTLD policies before they put their money on the line. Is there something like that in existing policy? And also, to possibly the wider amusement of schoolboys etc, maybe ICANN or somebody should perhaps maintain a definitive reference of unacceptable variants of the 7 words. joly -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Joly MacFie 218 565 9365 Skype:punkcast -------------------------------------------------------------- -

MEETUP/WEBCAST SUNDAY – Wikipedia Day NYC 2018 at Ace Hotel
by Joly MacFie Jan. 13, 2018

Jan. 13, 2018

This is tomorrow! This year's Wikipedia Day has an increased emphasis on inclusion, which includes you! So, if Manhattan's Flatiron district is within reach you should consider popping down to the Ace Hotel, even if it's just for one or two sessions, and the plentiful refreshments. Walk-ins are fine. We will of course be there all day, streaming. Note that ISOC-NY's Joe Plotkin is scheduled to give a lightning talk.

Heads on January Newsletter
by Glenn McKnight Jan. 9, 2018

Jan. 9, 2018

Hi I have completed two cycles of the newsletter as an interim editor, I am waiting for Shelley to step on the newsletter but in her absence I am crafting the next newsletter and looking to the community for your news. As the interim editor I think it important to have an article on ICANN policy issues and I have requested this to the two ALAC members of NARALO. Please note that the article doesn't have to be long. It just needs to showcase the relevance of the policy item in discussion. As usual the deadline of community stories will be January 27th. I return then from the IGF Trinidad and will continue work on any submissions. If you have pictures or graphics please send them also. Thanks Glenn McKnight NARALO Secretariat mcknight.glenn(a)gmail.com skype gmcknight twitter gmcknight 289-830 6259 .

The FCC, Net Neutrality, and What's Ahead
by Alfredo Calderon Jan. 4, 2018

Jan. 4, 2018

For your information. The FCC voted a few weeks ago to adopt an Order that would eliminate Net Neutrality rules (which classified broadband as Title II and established rules that would prohibit blocking content, throttling speeds, and paid prioritization). The policy brief provided via the link below reviews the new Order and discusses responses from legislators, states, and others.

NTIA Recommends Improvements to the FCC’s Broadband Data Collection
by Alfredo Calderon Jan. 3, 2018

Jan. 3, 2018

FYI. _______ *NTIA Recommends Improvements to the FCC’s Broadband Data Collection* Dear Data Users: NTIA relies on sound data to understand the state of communications and information use in the United States, and to develop policies that promote robust broadband services across the country. Our Digital Nation research <https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fntia.doc.…> and other initiatives have been complemented in recent years by the Federal Communications Commission’s Form 477 data program. Broadband providers complete Form 477 to report where they offer service, as well what speeds they offer and the technologies they use, among other information. Today, in response to the FCC seeking ideas for how to improve its Form 477 data collection, NTIA filed comments recommending specific measures the FCC can take to enhance the program. | Read more >> <https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ntia.…> In the filing, NTIA recommends improvements to two aspects of the Form 477 program. First, the FCC should bolster the accuracy of the broadband availability data. We recommend that the FCC implement a data validation program, and suggest looking to NTIA’s previous work on the State Broadband Initiative <https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww2.ntia…>, as well as the ongoing practices of various state programs, for examples of how it might verify broadband availability data. Second, the FCC could increase the accessibility of Form 477 data by making more information available and usable by a wider audience. In particular, we urge the FCC to begin updating the National Broadband Map <https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.broad…>—or alternatively, provide a similarly full-featured successor—with the most recent data from Form 477. |View NTIA’s Comments >> <https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ntia.…> We applaud the FCC for its great work to date on the Form 477 program, as well as its efforts to make further improvements. Data from Form 477 form a critical piece of the larger Federal broadband data puzzle, and we hope our recommendations will influence enhancements that drive cutting-edge research and data-driven policymaking aimed at enabling all Americans to fully participate in the digital economy.
