RE: [gnso-irtp-b-jun09] Some definitions & concepts to inform our work

["Tim Ruiz" <tim@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Perhaps the term Account Holder is better. From our perspective, the
Account Holder may be authorized by the Registered Name Holder to accept
the Registration Agreement on their behalf. However, nowhere does the
Account Holder otherwise enter into the scheme of things except as
another possible contact for the Registrar to resolve certain issues. So
I suggest the following modified definitions:

1. REGISTRANT: The Registered Name Holder as defined in the RAA.

2. ACCOUNT HOLDER: The person or entity that has access to the
Registrar account and/or domain management system, and may have
accepted the Registration Agreement on behalf of the Registrant.
Note that this person or entity is often the same as that listed
as the "Registrant", but is not required to be.

3. CHANGE OF REGISTRANT: The Account Holder or Registrant assigns 
the domain name registration to another entity. This may include 
changing other contacts (Admin, Tech, Billing) but the focus here
is on the Registrant. Changes to WHOIS records that do not modify 
the identity of the Registrant do not constitute a Change Of 
Registrant.

4. CHANGE OF ACCOUNT: The Account Holder moves the domain name 
registration to another account at the same registrar without
changing the identity of the Registrant.

5. TRANSFER: The Registrant or Admin Contact authorizes transfer 
of the domain name registration to a different Registrar. This 
operation is defined and governed by the existing IRTP Consensus 
Policy.

James and all,
As I briefly mentioned during the call yesterday, I believe a clearer
connection to the registered name holder would be useful for your
definition of "SHOPPER or CUSTOMER". Perhaps like this: "The person or
entity that has access to the Registrar control system and is authorized
to use it on behalf the Registered Name Holder." 

Moreover, the last part in your definition ", and has accepted the
Registration Agreement" could (unintentionally?) confine the definition
to the Registered Name Holder, since that's the only one that can enter
the Registration Agreement according to RAA 3.7.7. ("Registrar shall
require all Registered Name Holders to enter into an electronic or paper
registration agreement with Registrar including at least.....") 

Thoughts on that?

BTW - could "REQUESTER" be a more transfer-specific alternative to
"SHOPPER or CUSTOMER"? 

Best regards
Olof

Michael:

Yes, that's correct. For a retail registrar such as GoDaddy.com, the
SHOPPER is most often a natural person. But the mix could be
significantly different at a reseller or corporate registrar.

James,

In your proposal, can a customer or shopper be an entity (not an
individual)?
