Hi,
An update on the positions inside the NCSG.
Or at least my view of it - NCSG, like ALAC, lists are all open archive so
anyone can make their own evaluation.
The NCSG is still deliberating.
On some topics, we have a range of views ranging from:
a - No Specal Privileges For anyone to
Let a restricted set of IGO, International Organizations and INGOs use
Objection procedures and RPMs
b - Let INGOs use trademarks like everyone else to
Accreditation by ECOSOC is equivalent to the IGO treaty requirements and
stands in fair stead to business oriented trademarks
c - IGO/INGO pay like everyone else to use RPMs to
Giving them a break given their not-for-profit status
The things I think we are agreed on, though I am still checking - BCC'ing this
message to our open discussion list. -
I - In all issues we tend toward a fair and equivalent standard of treatment.
This is not just a throw away excuse as some may have characterized, but rather
is an important driving principle in NCSG considerations.
II - We do not support blocking of names at either the first or second level.
That is we do not support expanding the reserved name list in any way.
III - We do not support giving those on reserved name lists (if they are
expanded) a special privilege of exception from the reserved name list.
IV - We should not decide any policy issue based on the degree to which someone
has lobbied the GAC and gotten them to issue Advice. We should consider the
Advice as one among many issues but not be ruled by it.
I have not yet broached the issue of:
- Do Incumbents have to obey the same rules as new gTLDs, and what implications
does this have for the renewal and transfer of current registration of names
that may be have been added to the reserved list. Is there a 'grandmother'
rule?
I hope to have completed NCSG consensus opinion by next week's meeting.
avri
