RAA Final Report (Medium Priority Item)

Issue/Request

RAA -DT:
Recommendations/Options
RAA-DT:
1) Establish a Code and require registrar compliance
2) If a Registrar Code of Practice is developed, some issues for possible inclusion:
• Requirement on registrars to cancel a registration if inaccurate or unreliable WHOIS information is not corrected
• Prominently display contact information. ICANN SAC also recently advised that Registrars should have a 24/7 contact number that connects to a person technically able to deal with abuse notification
• Use commercially available verification systems to provide time of registration validations
• Prohibitions (or stronger prohibitions) on front running, cyber squatting
• Have stronger action by registrars on breaches by resellers
