[gnso-rap-dt] actions from 6 July RAPWG meeting

["Greg Aaron" <gaaron@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Action items for follow-up.  As always, goal is to get discussion going on
the group list, and material up on the wiki, to make progress before our
next teleconference on 20 July.

 

*       Cybersquatting sub-group (Fred Felman, Mike Rodenbaugh, James
Bladel, Michael Young, Paul Stahura, Phil Corwin): work on the definition
and post a note to the group when the material is up on the wiki.  Group to
look at and discuss on the list before meeting of July 10.  Definition may
need to take into account the ACPA factors. 
*       Cybersquatting: Marika Konings to add to the doc the list of
possible recommendations/solutions that were mentioned in today's call.
*       We now have a subgroup on 'uniformity in contracts' composed of
volunteers Mike O'Connor, Berry Cobb, Marika Konings, and Mike Rodenbaugh.
Other who were not on today's call are also invited to volunteer.

*       The job of this group is to lead the discussion and investigation of
the WG charter questions:  "Understand if registration abuses are occurring
that might be curtailed or better addressed if consistent registration abuse
policies were established... Determine if and how {registration} abuse is
dealt with in those registries {and registrars} that do not have any
specific {policies} in place. Identify how these registration abuse
provisions are {...} implemented in practice or deemed effective in
addressing registration abuse."
*       Berry has been collecting registrar-registrant agreements. 

*       WHOIS: Greg Aaron to send around links about the GNSO WHOIS Study
Hypotheses Group.  Today RAPWG confirmed agreement that WHOIS is a large
topic (with much history) that should continue to be tackled via the WHOIS
Study Hypotheses Group effort already underway.  RAPWG will therefore not
attempt to tackle WHOIS as an abuse topic, but always have the option of
noting in our report when WHOIS issues are a factor in other abuse issues
and how.

 

 

All best,

--Greg
