Text
Kurt Pritz presented the issues, RSTEP Report, and introduced the process relating to the proposed new registry service from PIR Registry relating to an excess deletion fee. Vanda Scartezini moved for a vote on the resolution to approved the service and Veni Markovski seconded.
The following comments were offered on the record relating to this matter:
Susan Crawford stated: "I'm glad to see that on the agenda for the Sao Paulo meeting, or at least being considered for the agenda for that meeting is a discussion of whether the board should request the GNSO to initiate a consensus policy process with respect to the five-day add grace period. The initiation of such a process doesn't indicate that we think a consensus is likely to emerge, but just that we want to ask the question about whether a mandatory global policy is necessary in this area."
Alejandro Pisanty stated: "I think there is much good in this measure. It attends to problems that are vexing to registrants in the noncommercial space, which is the actual dot org space. The practice that's going to be potentially abated is particularly damaging, because it turns to commercial use names that are, and expectations of the users that are, essentially, noncommercial in nature. So that for this community, I think, it's particularly a favorable agreement."
Veni Markovski stated: "I think since I'm on the board of ISOC and ISOC is the owner of the PIR, so I don't want to have any, like, even remote distance allusion that there is something in my vote. And the second is that I would like to see -- in the amendment of the dot org registry agreement to see some protection of misusage of this. I would be happy to talk to the PIR, and I will tell them what I have in mind. And I am happy to talk to the president and the general counsel about my abstention on this matter. But, basically, it is that somebody may be misusing this rule and cause damages to a legitimate registrar."
Board authorizes the President and General Counsel to enter into an amendment of the .ORG Registry Agreement to implement the proposed excess deletion fee service.
