[gnso-rap-dt] question for Mike Rodenbaugh regarding amendment language

["Greg Aaron" <gaaron@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, Mike.  The WG went through the final recommendations today, and I have a
question regarding your response to #30 (creation of best practices to
address illicit uses of domain names).

 

Your friendly amendment was: "The effort should also consider mandatory
minimum practices applicable to contracting parties, in addition to best
practices."  

 

The RAPWG did find an instance where there is an inherent relationship
between registration abuses and malicious uses of domains: WHOIS
accessibility (or lack of accessibility).  The group therefore agreed to
make two recommendations about that topic.  WHOIS accessibility is a
specific topic where the WG recommends that the GNSO look into practices
applicable to contracting parties.

 

Otherwise, your amendment seems incompatible with the Recommendation.  The
group has arrived at the best practice approach because mandatory practices
to deal with use of domain names (unrelated to registration process abuses)
seem outside of ICANN's scope.   

 

Can you offer clarification on your comments?

 

All best,

--Greg
