RE: [ga] FW: Comment from the gTLD Registry Constituency




Jeff,

What let you think that any of the listed can apply to many
if not all ccTLD ? All are related to the local customs.

 - (1) Grace Periods are not relevant in countries
   where you can have automated bank payment for service,
   or where you cannot sell a domain name
 - I do not see why (5) Uniform Deletion Periods should be uniform.
 - (3) Escrow is a national matter, and an absolute no issue
   for global policy (besides that it is better to have a backup
   when you run a registry)
 - (4) Dispute Resolution Policies depends on the naming charter, 
   and are totaly different from country to country
   the same for (2) Transfers

Absolutely. The local aspect makes the difference.
Add language and legislation, you will see how strong it is.

Best regards,
Elisabeth
