[NA-Discuss] [ga] ICANN opens up Question Box for Mexico City meeting

[Danny Younger]

Additional questions:

1.  RAA amendment:  ability to create new Registered Names suspended if Registrar is repeatedly/willfully in fundamental/material breach of its obligations at least three times within year.  Why isn’t once sufficient?

2.  RAA:  In the event ICANN establishes a Code of Conduct for ICANN accredited registrars, Registrar shall abide by that Code; Will ICANN ever establish a registrar code of conduct?

3.  RAA amendment:  “Upon execution of agreement, Registrar shall provide
ICANN with a list of the names of Registrar's directors and officers”.  Will such a list ever be made public?

4.  RAA:  “Registrar shall abide by ICANN adopted specifications or policies prohibiting or restricting warehousing of or speculation in domain names by registrars.”  Will such a policy be forthcoming?

5.  RAA amendment:  registrar shall display conspicuous notice when election is made to utilize proxy services that customer data is not being escrowed.  Is Board comfortable with this loophole?

6.  RAA amendment:  “In the event that ICANN publishes a webpage that identifies available registrant rights and responsibilities”.  When does ICANN intend to publish such a page?

7.	One would think that an organization committed to transparency would publicly post the registrar accreditation applications.  Will this ever happen?

8.	ICANN Staff issued a Draft Statement of Work for Funnel Review (indicating a review is consistent with ICANN's efforts to improve policies/procedures).  Can we also expect a UDRP review?

9.	RIRs are considering proposals to permit market-based address transfers.  Does the Board have a view on this development?

10.  When will ICANN articulate a transparent mechanism, that includes community agreement, for the disposition of excess new gTLD revenues, should there be any, given ICANN’s non-profit status?
