Re: [ga] Deletes: Registrar Code of Conduct solution

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com>]

Danny and all assembly members,

  Good point here Danny.  And one that should have been included
in the Registrar contracts from the beginning.

  However, shouldn't such a "Code of Conduct" for Registrars also
apply to the "Registries"?  And, shouldn't such a "Code of Conduct"
be approved and voted upon by registrants?

  I would rather see however the Registrar Contracts amended, as
we recommended way back when, to include provisions for protection
of the registrants rather than a "Code of Conduct".  This would give
the the registrar and registry contracts some actionable teeth by which
the ICANN BOD or staff could than adequately enforce on a much
more uniform basis as part of their oversight authority/responsibility.
Also the DOC/NTIA, which also has oversight authority could
take action(s) if such amendments were added to the Registrar
and Registry contracts...

  Of course I would also suggest strongly that Registrants/stakeholders
should have a voice and a vote on such amendments to the Registrar
and Registry contracts as it directly effects them...
