FINAL DRAFT VERSION TO BE VOTED UPON BY THE ALAC

The ALAC strongly supports these recommendations.

The ALAC particularly supports Recommendation 5 that would extend the statute of limitation to launch a Transfer Dispute Resolution Policy (TDRP) be extended from the current 6 months to 15 months from the initial transfer. This will provide registrants the opportunity to become aware of fraudulent transfers when they would no longer receive their registrar's annual WDRP notification or renewal notice.

The ALAC's further comments are as follows:

• In Recommendation 9, the term "user-friendliness" should be augmented comprehensively to make it clear that this site should be understandable to a registrant who does not have to deal with such problems on a regular basis. The information should clearly explain circumstances in which the ICANN Compliance can assist in recovery of the registrant's name and when it cannot. Moreover, the site should be available in at least the 5 UN languages.
• In recommendation 10, it is essential that, in addition to Registrars, Resellers be explicitly included.

FIRST DRAFT SUBMITTED

The ALAC strongly supports these recommendations.

The ALAC's further comments are as follows:

The ALAC particularly supports Recommendation 5 that would extend the statute of limitation to launch a TDRP be extended from current 6 months to 15 months from the initial transfer. This will provide registrants the opportunity to become aware of  fraudulent transfers when they would no longer receive their registrar's annual WDRP notification or renewal notice.

In Recommendation 9, the term "user-friendliness" should be augmented to make it clear that this site should be understandable to a registrant who does not have to deal with such problems on a regular basis. The information should clearly explain circumstances in which the ICANN Compliance can assist  in recovery of the registrant's name and when it cannot. Moreover, the site must be available in a reasonably wide range of languages.

In recommendation 10, it is essential that, in addition to Registrars, Resellers  be explicitly included.
