Dear IRT,

Attached please find a revised org proposal for implementation of SubPro Recommendation 36.4. I am sharing this revised proposal as Karla is out this week. As you will see, the proposal would:

add a PIC to RA Spec. 11, Section 3 to prohibit a registry operator from engaging in fraudulent or deceptive business practices in performing any Critical Function under this Agreement. By narrowly defining the scope of registry conduct subject to a PIC, it limits the extent to which ICANN org would be placed in the role of enforcing substantive areas of law that are outside ICANN’s mission and bylaws.
amend RA Section 4.3(f) to allow ICANN to terminate an agreement if a registry operator is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or by an arbitrator to have committed fraud or deceptive practices in the provision of Registry Services under this Agreement for the TLD, or is the subject of a judicial or arbitral determination that ICANN reasonably deems as the substantive equivalent.

We look forward to discussing this proposal at the next IRT meeting following Karla’s return from vacation. Thank you.

Best,

Jamie Hedlund
