Regarding complaints about registerfly-- it should be noted that the ALAC Forum received 79 complaints pertaining to registerfly services dating back to March of last year. The question we should be posing is what, if anything, did the ALAC do upon receipt of these complaints? As I see it, the ALAC forum is a tundra of unanswered complaints; it paints the picture of an organization that does absolutely nothing for those it purportedly represents. Mr. Robert Guerra ha scritto:
So we have a new structure - great. I look forward to hearing their views and opinions on the ongoing policy and process issues taking place at ICANN.
However, I am still skeptical - as the ALS/ALAC community has still not responded to the recent developments @ Registerfly (see below). In fact, was ALAC at all consulted on the issue ?
The issue is currently being treated at the staff level - it is a matter of enforcing one specific contract. What I raised at the Board level, is the need to have a comprehensive policy work to strengthen protection for registrants, for example by imposing better checks on what registrars and resellers do with domains, and working out best practices for that. Informally, I have proposed that the Board creates a working group on the matter. There were reactions, some positive and some negative... (or better, of the type "well, ALAC, go and educate registrants on our behalf"). All in all, this will be a matter for Lisbon and I would hope that we put it high in our agenda, so that we can release a collective statement and proposal. -- vb.
