FW: Adopting Specification 4 of the AGB
by Susan Kawaguchi Nov. 17, 2011

Nov. 17, 2011

Just realized that I did not attach the document to this email last week. From: Susan Kawaguchi Sent: Tuesday, November 08, 2011 11:13 PM To: rt4-whois(a)icann.org Subject: Adopting Specification 4 of the AGB Attached is a draft of recommendations for adopting Specification 4 of the AGB for existing gTlds. At the end of the document are rough thoughts on ICANN creating a voluntary program for registrars to be considered A list registrars. This would recognize the responsible registars and the proactive service they provide. I will not be on the call tonight since it is 3 am my time. Not sure anything I would say would make any sense.

Fwd: draft report
by Emily Taylor Nov. 17, 2011

Nov. 17, 2011

Hi all I promised to circulate another draft. Here it is. My edits start from page 17 and go to the end of the section on compliance. I am not quite happy with my new text on compliance and would welcome your input on that. I will continue to work through and send more edits. Alice - as the report doc now crashes every time I edit it please would you create a clean version which will be easier to read. All - this doesn't mean the edits ARE accepted but will help us to get a measure of how the doc is evolving. All- please let me have your feedback on edits to date. Especially flag ones you care about. To move us forward I will assume you are happy unless I hear from you. So speak up!

Next steps
by Emily Taylor Nov. 15, 2011

Nov. 15, 2011

Hi all As promised, I'll be working through my comments on the mega-huge draft this week, and circulating to the list. If anyone else feels moved to do this too, please do so, and we'll ask Alice to hold the pen and consolidate the draft s if there are different proposed edits (there are bound to be). My headline thoughts on the draft are: - It's very good in places - The narrative needs to come across more strongly, and having agreed our draft recommendations will help us with this, as will the executive summary. - There are some chunks of text which I'm struggling to know where to fit in (if at all). - Having had our discussion with Compliance, I'm minded to take out a lot of the detail on the compliance effort and append a detailed letter with suggested actions to the report, with conclusions and headline recommendations in the text. Lastly, before our next call, can we think about and circulate any recommendations which fell off the radar screen during the last meeting. The ones I can think of are: - Lutz had a suggestion about some sort of portal which aggregated all WHOIS data and provided reverse look up capability being run by a neutral source (ICANN?). I think this may have grown out of our Thick/Thin discussions, but am not sure. Lutz: would you be happy to draft out some first ideas on this one for us? - Sarmad: We have a placeholder for an IDN recommendation, and also for a brief bit of text for the report. Could you let us have this as soon as possible?

Compliance letter - information please
by Emily Taylor Nov. 15, 2011

Nov. 15, 2011

Hi Alice You will see from the Compliance letter that James has highlighted a piece of text (paragraph 3.4 on page 6) relating to the objectives of the compliance effort. He has pointed out that this relates exclusively to registries, and I wonder if you can find an equivalent publicly documented statement relating to registries. James suggests that the presentation of the compliance team in London may have the answer. Would you be able to investigate for us, and provide us with a suitable reference?
