Thank you, Marika and Glen.
And if the subsequent efforts require volunteers from this group, they
can participate individually.
As for the Fast Flux PDP WG, I believe we should consider ourselves
Adjourned.

Council FF Hosting PDP Resolution Dear All
For your information, please find below the language of the resolution
that was adopted on the Fast Flux Hosting PDP.
With best regards,
Marika
Motion on the Fast Flux (FF) Hosting Policy Development Process (PDP)
Proposed by: Mike Rodenbaugh
Seconded by: Tim Ruiz
Whereas:
On 30 May 2008, the GNSO Council initiated a PDP and chartered a
Working Group, comprised of interested stakeholders and Constituency
representatives, in collaboration with knowledgeable individuals and
organizations, to develop potential policy options to curtail the
criminal use fast flux hosting;
Whereas the Working Group was asked to consider ten questions,
specifically:
Who benefits from fast flux, and who is harmed?
Who would benefit from the cessation of the practice, and who would be
harmed?
Are registry operators involved, or could they be, in fast flux
hosting
activities? If so, how?
Are registrars involved in fast flux hosting activities? If so, how?
How are registrants affected by fast flux hosting?
How are Internet users affected by fast flux hosting?
What technical, e.g. changes to the way in which DNS updates operate,
and policy, e.g. changes to registry / registrar agreements or rules
governing permissible registrant behavior measures could be
implemented
by registries and registrars to mitigate the negative effects of fast
flux?
What would be the impact (positive or negative) of establishing
limitations, guidelines, or restrictions on registrants, registrars
and/or registries with respect to practices that enable or facilitate
fast flux hosting? What would be the impact of these limitations,
guidelines, or restrictions to product and service innovation?
What are some of the best practices with regard to protection from
fast
flux?
Obtain expert opinion, as appropriate, on which areas of fast flux are
in scope and out of scope for GNSO policy making;
Whereas the Working Group has faithfully executed the PDP, as stated
in
the By-laws, resulting in a Final Report delivered to the GNSO Council
on 13 Aug 2009;
Whereas the Working Group did not make recommendations for new
consensus policy, or changes to existing policy;
Whereas the Working Group has developed and broadly supports several
recommendations, and outlined possible next steps;
Whereas the GNSO Council has reviewed and discussed these
recommendations and the Final Report;
The GNSO Council RESOLVES:
To extend our sincere thanks to the Working Group members, to the
Chair
James Bladel, to the Council Liaison Mike Rodenbaugh, and to two
members
of the ICANN Policy Staff, Marika Konings and Glen de Saint Géry, for
their efforts in bringing this Working Group to a successful
conclusion;
To encourage ongoing discussions within the community regarding the
development of best practices and / or Internet industry solutions to
identify and mitigate the illicit uses of Fast Flux; and
The Registration Abuse Policy Working Group (RAPWG) should examine
whether existing policy may empower Registries and Registrars,
including
consideration for adequate indemnification, to mitigate illicit uses
of
Fast Flux; and
To encourage interested stakeholders and subject matter experts to
analyze the feasibility of a Fast Flux Data Reporting System to
collect
data on the prevalence of illicit use, as a tool to inform future
discussions; and
To encourage staff to examine the role that ICANN can play as a “best
practices facilitator” within the community; and
To consider the inclusion of other stakeholders from both within and
outside the ICANN community for any future Fast Flux policy
development
efforts; and
To ensure that successor PDPs on this subject, if any, address the
charter definition issues identified in the Fast Flux Final Report.
To form a Drafting Team to work with support staff on developing a
plan
with set of priorities and schedule that can be reviewed and
considered
by the new Council as part of its work in developing the Council
Policy
Plan and Priorities for 2010.
