BRU 1
The BRU1 sub-group recommends a 15% cross ownership limit between the following
two groups: (1) registries, registry service providers (RSPs) and their
affiliates; and (2) registrars, resellers and their Affiliates. This limit
applies regardless of the TLD(s) offered by the parties. Irrespective of
ownership levels control (as defined by DAG4) may never occur. For example, a
registrar may never control a registry, even if it has only 15% ownership of
that registry.
Although there is not consensus within the sub-group on this, a majority of
participants are sympathetic to an exception for RSPs who do not control the
policies, pricing and registrar selection of a registry. In order to qualify
for such an exception an RSP would be required to undertake a form of
accreditation directly with ICANN, and agree to a set of significant sanctions
should they be found in breach of their obligations (for such things as the
confidentiality of registry data). The sub-group views this exception as
worthy of further consideration.
BRU1 defines an SRSU TLD as one where: (a) the registry is the registrant for
all second level names; and (b) the use of names in terms of website content,
email control, or any other application associated with the domains is
exercised only by the registry. BRU1 believes the registry contract (Section
2.6 'Reserved Names') should be amended to specifically allow for the SRSU
model. If Section 2.6 cannot be amended BRU1 supports an exception that allows
an SRSU registry to own a registrar in its TLD, and a waiver of equivalent
access obligations on that registry.
