Additional Information

• The PIR request was the third request since the implementation of the Registry Services Evaluation Policy (RSEP) (Effective Date of the Policy is 15 August 2006) that was referred to the Registry Services Technical Evaluation Panel (RSTEP) for review and assessment. The RSEP provides that in the event that ICANN reasonably determines during the 15 calendar day "preliminary determination" period that the proposed Registry Service might raise significant Stability or Security issues, ICANN will refer the proposal to the Registry Services Technical Evaluation Panel within five business days of making its determination.  Information on the RSEP process is located at http://www.icann.org/en/registries/rsep/
• The RSTEP conducted their evaluation of the proposed service and in their report dated 4 June 2008 stated, "Our technical evaluation of this proposed registry service with respect to the likelihood and materiality of effects on security and stability concludes that it does create a reasonable risk of a meaningful adverse effect on security and stability, which can be effectively mitigated by policies, decisions, and actions to which PIR either has
  expressly committed in its proposal or could reasonably be required to commit."
• The RSEP also provides that following receipt of the RSTEP report, which will be posted and available for public comment, the ICANN Board will have 30 days to reach a decision. In the event the ICANN Board reasonably determines that the proposed Registry Service creates a reasonable risk of a meaningful adverse effect on Stability or Security, Registry Operator will not offer the proposed Registry Service.
• A copy of the ORG Registry Agreement is available at: http://www.icann.org/en/tlds/agreements/org/.The resolution does not address funding for the items identified therein.
