[ga] SYSTEMS

["Patrick Corliss" <patrick@quad.net.au>]

Systems:  To consider and recommend improvements to all of ICANN's existing
policies, practices and procedures including, but not limited to
registry-registrar separation, registrar accreditation, quality assurance
and registrant/whois privacy as well as any contracts or agreements in these
or related areas.

POSSIBLE AGENDA

(2)    Existing & Proposed TLDs
Review of TLD application process.
Holding over of lodged applications.
Pre-registrations of domain names
Government endorsement of ccTLDs
Revision to .edu with Educause

(3)    Registry- Registrar Operations
Registrant/Whois Data - Integrity & Privacy
Domain name holder's "Charter"
Stockpiling & warehousing domains.
Expired, on hold & unreleased names.

(4)    Multilingual Test-Bed
Identify the nature of their operations.
Test beds or live systems.
Controlled by ICANN or not?

(5)    Other System Developments
