Summary

Board approved .INFO Registry Agreement amendments regarding non-compliant sunrise names.

Text

Whereas, Afilias has submitted a request pursuant to ICANN's Registry Services

Evaluation Policy to amend the dot-info Registry Agreement to permit a phased equitable re-allocation program for approximately 1,400 dot-info domain names determined by WIPO to have been obtained in conflict with the dot-info Sunrise Rules.

Whereas, ICANN has evaluated the proposed amendments to the dot-info Registry Agreement as new registry services pursuant to the Registry Services Evaluation Policy and has posted amendments for public comment and Board approval (http://www.icann.org/registries/rsep/).

Whereas, the amendments grant a limited exception to price caps for Afilias to reallocate names in the non-compliant group via RFP or auction mechanisms.

It is hereby resolved (2009-05-21-08) that the dot-info amendments are approved, and the President and General Counsel are authorized to take such actions as appropriate to implement the amendments.
