C.2.7 Responsibility and Respect for Stakeholders – [No later than 1 October 2013], the contractor shall, in collaboration with all interested and affected parties as enumerated in Section C.1.C, develop for each of the IANA functions a process for documenting the source of the policies and procedures and how it will apply the relevant policies and procedures for the corresponding IANA function and post via a website.

This consultation involves the operation of the Delegations and Redelegations of Country Code Top Level Domains (ccTLDs) described in the IANA functions contract as the following:

C.2.9.2.c Delegation and Redelegation of a Country Code Top Level Domain (ccTLD) ‑ The Contractor shall apply existing policy frameworks in processing requests related to the delegation and redelegation of a ccTLD, such as RFC 1591 Domain Name System Structure and Delegation, the Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) Principles And Guidelines For The Delegation AND Administration Of Country Code Top Level Domains, and any further clarification of these policies by interested and affected parties as enumerated in Section C.1.3.

Specific Questions to be addressed=> 

  • ICANN is seeking feedback on the draft user instructions for the IANA Function related to ccTLD delegations and redelegations.  

  •  Comments are welcome on any aspect of the User Instructions, and specifically on the following questions:

1. Do the DRAFT User Instructions clearly provide instructions on how to request a ccTLD delegation or redelegation?
2. Do the User Instructions clearly describe the steps for processing a ccTLD delegation and redelegation?
3. Do you have additional suggestions as to what may be missing from the User Instructions?
4. By what process should ICANN notify the community when there are revisions made to the User Instructions?
5. Does the community think it would be useful for ICANN to publish additional documentation such as a Knowledge Base with help articles and/or a list of Frequently Asked Questions as a companion to the User Instructions?
