Robert, I admire the CIRA accomplishments and would prefer a structure like CIRA instead of what we now have in the US. The .us Policy Council is a joke. There are no provisions for member succession and the Council hasn't posted any meeting minutes since 9 January 2003. We have lost the right to proxy registrations stemming from the Peterson V. NTIA case (in which the Policy Council took no position), and there are no success stories regarding subdomains within .us (kids.us is an abject failure). regards, Danny --- Robert Guerra <lists@privaterra.info> wrote:

Well, let's both raise it at the NA as well a the global level.
For me .US less so a regional issue, as we've taken care of the issue here in canada long ago. At least, I think that those in the USA should play more a leading role then us crazy canucks up north. I would be keen to have the issue addressed as a priority item, but would prefer that opinions and concerns come from users and experts like you who are based in the southern part of the ICANN NA region.
Curious to know if you think a structure like CIRA (cira.ca) might be possible for the US ccTLD. it has worked out well for us here in Canada, but not sure if the politics in the US would permit such type of collaboration between stakeholders to occur under the current administration.

Hi Jacqueline,
Sorry to disagree, but the NeuStar contract with the USG is scheduled to expire by the end of October (posing a potential redelegation issue), and frankly we don't have the luxury of waiting for the ALAC and the CCNSO to come to grips with the global aspects of the problem. This is a timely regional issue for us that we should be at liberty to handle by way of positing an ICANN obligation in the MOU (which is within our rights to request). The RALOs exist to deal with regional concerns. Let us handle this matter in our own fashion or let's just scrap the RALO concept.
regards, Danny

Hi Danny This is a concern in other places, and ALAC has set up several meetings with ccNSO in San Juan to discuss how we can work together on issues such as this. I don't think that it belongs in the NARALO MoU, but rather is a global issue that ALL regions should work on together. Jacqueline
-----Original Message----- From: Danny Younger [mailto:dannyyounger@yahoo.com] Sent: Thursday, June 14, 2007 9:11 AM To: NA Discuss Subject: [NA-Discuss] MOU - ICANN Obligations: Redelegation
I remain troubled by the total lack of transparency in the ccTLD redelegation process. Has anyone ever seen a detailed redelegation request posted for consideration prior to action being taken by the Board?
The .us situation is particularly bad. On the last go-around ICANN bypassed the normal IANA processes to declare an "emergency redelegation" -- see
http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-19nov01.htm
I certainly don't want the relevant Internet community being kept in the dark should the delegation of
the
.us namespace become an issue.
I would ask that the NARALO MOU stipulate that ICANN has the obligation to inform the NARALO upon the receipt of any relevant ccTLD redelegation request (.us or .ca) so that community input may be provided (as per RFC 1591: "it is also appropriate for interested parties to have some voice in selecting the designated manager.")
