RE: [gnso-rap-dt] For your review - Nairobi presentation

["Greg Aaron" <gaaron@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Mike:

 

Slide 5 reflected what the ICANN General Counsel said.  If clarification is
needed, the slide could say: "ICANN General Counsel states: "Policies
involving the use of a domain name (unrelated to its registration) are
outside the scope of policies that ICANN could enforce on registries and/or
registrars."

 

Your argument seems to be that UDRP is a precedent or example of how ICANN
has power to regulate any or all domain name use.  Is that correct? 

 

Regarding your other point: I think you are referring to slide 6, which says
at the bottom: "Doubts about whether ICANN has the power to force contracted
parties to suspend domain names for malicious uses."  A statement of fact -
doubts exist, as per the initial report and the discussions over the months.
My assumption is that the Council members will read the report, which
contains the richer background, attributions, etc.

 

All best,

--Greg

I have strong disagreement with the last sentence in 3d bullet of slide 5 -
ignores contract language and UDRP, should be deleted:  

.          Use issues concern what a registrant does with the domain after
it has been created, or the services the registrant operates on the domain.
These are largely out of scope for policy-making.

 

Similar disagreement with last bullet of slide 7, should say "Some
contracting parties have doubts."

 

Otherwise looks good, thanks.
