As a preliminary result from draft-deletes we submit this document to the GA:
This document represents feedback from the DNSO General Assembly (GA)
to VeriSign Global Registry Services (VGRS), with respect to the VGRS
proposed Domain Name Wait Listing Service (WLS). More specifically,
this document is responsive to, and consistent with the Procedural
Guidelines contained in, VGRS's revised WLS proposal, dated January
28, 2002.
Background
On December 30, 2001, VGRS submitted to the Registrar Constituency its
WLS proposal (http://www.icann-registrars.org/pdfs/VeriSign_wls.pdf).
On January 18, 2002, the Registrar Constituency submitted its timely
response to the VGRS proposal
(http://www.dnso.org/clubpublic/registrars/Arc01/msg01907.html).
On January 28, 2002, VGRS posted to the GA list, its revised WLS
proposal along with the "Justification for a Registry-based Wait
Listing Service" document. This proposal requests feedback and
questions from the GA by February 8, 2001, pursuant to the "procedural
guidelines" presented in it.
This leads to the following questions the GA puts forward to VGRS:
1. Why is VGRS concentrating on "new" business proposals before solving
problems with her current tasks
2. On what (contractual) grounds does VGRS propose the WLS, instead of
letting this part of the markt be a free operating system.
3. What are the reasons for letting go of the principle of 1st come 1st
serve
4. When does VGRS propose to settle with ICANN on a delete agreement pursuant
to 3.7.5 of the Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA).
5. It seems to be generally accepted that all Registrars will drop/deleted
domain names within 45 days following expiration. When does VGRS propose to
force her affiliates among whom Versigin Registrar to adher to these rules
6. How does VGRS respond to the fact that WLS will put a number of operators
in a likewise service based on free market principles out of business.
7. When does VGRS plan to solve her problems; the increased load on VGRS
systems, as mentioned in Montevideo, Uraguay in September 2001.
8. How does VGRS intent to solve consumer "unhappines" upon not getting the
domain, f.i. due to renewal, and subsequent "chargeback" to the registrars
9. What besides "willingness of the market" is the base for the extremely
high price of WLS
10. When will VGRS deliver a cost-based analyses to all constituencies to
determine a "fair" price for such services, if they should be started
11. How, under current ICANN regulations, does VGRS propose to drop the "fair
price" system forced upon her in the original agreement with ICANN
12. Does this WLS not constitute a seperate contract between ICANN and VGRS
and as such, should an open "bid" period to allow other to "bid" for a
likewise system not be entertained
13. Where does VGRS base the sale of WLS upon, considering that it is her
contractual duty to return domains to the pool after 45 days, in which case
there would be nothing to sell
14. Will current Snapback/Snapname holders be "grandfathered" under the WLS
15. Will the process of BULK deletion remain in place
16 Will VGRS assume responsibility for the community that registrars
offering this service on a world-wide basis are not going to face legal
problems? (f.i. if this is viewed as commodity trading )
We, the GA respectfully await VGRS's answer to this quesion in a timely
manner as set forth by VGRS so that the GA will be in a position to ascertain
her final position on this proposal in due and timely manner.
With regards
The General Assembly
