[gnso-igo-ingo] RSEP Process

["Berry Cobb" <mail@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Team,

 

As requested by the WG, the following will describe the Registry Services
Evaluation Process (RSEP).  It should be understood that this process will
only be invoked under the following conditions:

.         The WG were to agree to a recommendation that organizational
identifiers be placed on the Reserved Names List.

.         The protected organization seeks registration and use of the
protected name at the second level.

.         The protected organization will collaborate with the Registry
Operator of the TLD in which they wish to register the second-level domain
name (The RO will be entity that submits the actual RSEP, not the protected
organization).

.         Note 1: that the RSEP will not apply at the top-level. If a
protected organization desired registration at the top-level, a policy
process will be required to have the name removed from the standard Registry
Agreement template and future version of the Applicant Guidebook at the next
application window for new gTLDs.

.         Note 2: the RSEP process was not designed to be an exception
process and that organizations seeking protection should understand that the
RSEP is a lengthy and complex process.

 

If the WG were to proceed with the use of the RSEP as part of its
recommendations for an "exception procedure", we will require engagement
with the ICANN Registry Services team and further deliberation with the RySG
to ensure the process meets the full requirements.
