Call for Nominations NARALO Elections 2010
by Thompson, Darlene July 26, 2010

July 26, 2010

Dear All, I sincerely apologize for this call going out late. It was merely a case of the right hand not knowing what the left hand was doing. Please send your nominations in as described below (volunteering is just fine, too!). As an integral part of the At-Large infrastructure, NARALO is now starting the 2010 election cycle. We are currently seeking nominations for the following positions: * NARALO ALAC Representative * NARALO Chair * NARALO Secretariat * NARALO Delegate to the ICANN Nominating Committee (NARALO may give a recommendation to the ALAC) Each of these positions is for a one-year term except for the NARALO representative to ALAC which is a two-year term. The nomination period for the ALAC representative, Chair and Secretariat positions starts today and will remain open until 20 August 2010. The nomination period for the position of NARALO Delegate to the ICANN Nominating Committee starts today and will remain open until 6 August 2010. NARALO is requested to submit to the ALAC a list of candidates and, if the region wishes to do so, a recommendation for this position. Please send nominations or self-nominations either to the NARALO Discuss list or add them directly to the wiki election workspace under: https://st.icann.org/naralo/index.cgi?2010_election_calls_naralo <https://nuaccess.gov.nu.ca/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=https://st.icann.org/n…> You will also find additional details about the open NARALO leadership positions and the complete election timetables on this wiki workspace and copied below. ************ ************ NARALO-selected representative on the ALAC Suggested Election Timeline According to the NARALO instruments, NARALO shall issue a call for Statements of Interest from NARALO members on or before July 1st 2010.

Re: [NA-Discuss] Fwd: [WHOIS-WG] Fwd: Roundup of WHOIS Issues
by Volker Greimann July 23, 2010

Dear Garth, dear Evan, thank you Michele, who brought this to my attention. I would like to take the opportunity to set the record straight on some issues as Garth tends to twist and misinterpret words intentionally looking for a breach where there is none. > > -Unresponsive Registrars > > > > As noted above, there are many Registrars who would not disclose their > > Port 43 address. Some have supplied it after we published our report, > > but others remain silent. One Registrar is grumbling that he may sue us > > to get us to stop asking: > > http://forum.icann.org/lists/gnso-vi-feb10/msg02490.html A wonderful example of the word-twisting and reading a statement out of context, Garth. Key-Systems has never hidden its port 43 whois address. In fact, it is listed in _every_ whois query of any one of our domains: Domain Name: KEY-SYSTEMS.NET Registrar: KEY-SYSTEMS GMBH Whois Server: whois.rrpproxy.net Yet Key-Systems is listed as registrar who may be in breach do to possible failure to provide access to a port 43 whois server. We called you on that and showed you that we do provide this service and also make no effort to hide that service. Instead of admitting your error and removing the false listing of Key-Systems from your report when I pointed this out and requested you update your "report", you insisted the report was still correct in all of its claims, even though you were proven wrong. We take any accusation of breach of contract seriously, as such accusations may amount to libellous interference. That is why we considered sueing Knujon, and not to get you to stop asking. Asking questions, based on good research is good and we support that, but publicly making erroneous claims of contractual breach based on the failure to do proper research and failure to correct them upon notification of the error is libel. KnuJon is trying to paint all registrars with the same brush, instead of singling out the actual bad actors, not realizing that this weakens the report as a whole. > In the chat referenced, there's an insinuation claiming you use "sloppy > research methods". I'd like to get that allegation investigated. Is there > anything constructive this guy Volker can offer? Or does he think that > "sloppy" means anything that produces results he doesn't like? I will always accept constructive criticism based on facts. In this case however, the listing of Key-Systems in that section of the KnuJon "report" was based on three things: a) Failure to find a whois service at whois.key-systems.net b) Our failure to answer an email request for that address. c) Failure of Knujon to make even one webbased whois check of any one of our domain names, which would have immediately revealed the address KnuJon was unable to find: whois.rrpproxy.net KnuJon is making false assumptions based on insufficient and inadequate research. That is what I call sloppy. To offer anything constructive for future reports: Look, instead of making assumptions. If you cannot find the whois address at the first place you consider, try to think how else this information may be reachable. > > But the question is: what to do here? Is there any recourse against a > > Registrar who wont answer questions about their contracted obligations? > > They may claim the RAA requires them to have a Port 43 address but does > > not require them to tell anyone. Interesting point. We answer this question with every whois check done, as shown above. Should we then be required to answer each and every mail requesting information that is already openly available? Contractually, we are not. We are merely required to provide the service (which we do) in a way that it can be found and used (which we do). Accusing us of "not telling anyone" is ludicrous, as this services address is provided with any webbased whois check. One thing I have learned from this debate is that KnuJon will always be the first to publicly accuse others of any perceived breach to further their interest, but will never admit to an own error. As to the other point in the report, confusing prices, I still am not sure of what that means. Everywhere our customers can actually buy domain names from us we have a clear chart of prices available. If you find anything confusing, be specific so we can improve. -- Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Best regards, Volker A.
