http://www.dnso.org/dnso/notes/20030323.DeletesTF-final-report.html
The consensus recommendations from the report are:
3.1 Uniform deletion practice after domain name expiry by registrars.
3.1.1 Domain names must be deleted if a paid renewal has not been
received by the registrar from the registrant or someone acting on the
registrant's behalf by the end of the Auto-renew Grace Period
(generally forty-five days after the domain's initial expiration). As a
mechanism for enforcing this requirement, registries may elect to
delete names for which an explicit renew command has not been received
prior to the expiration of the grace period.
3.1.2 Domain names must be deleted within 45 days of the expiration of
the registration agreement between the registrar and registrant, unless
the agreement is renewed.
3.1.3 These requirements retroactively apply to all existing domain
name registrations beginning 180 days after the adoption of the policy.
3.1.4 Registrars must provide a summary of their deletion policy, as
well as an indication of any auto-renewal policy that they may have, at
the time of registration. This policy should include the expected time
at which a non-renewed domain name would be deleted relative to the
domain's expiration date, or a date range not to exceed ten days in
length.
3.1.5 Registrars must provide their deletion and auto-renewal policies
in a conspicuous place on their websites.
3.1.6 Registrars should provide, both at the time of registration and
in a conspicuous place on their website, the fee charged for the
recovery of a domain name during the Redemption Grace Period.
3.2 Registrar deletion practice after domain name expiry for domain
names subject to a pending UDRP dispute
3.2.1 In the event that a domain the subject of a UDRP dispute is
likely to expire during the course of the dispute, the dispute
resolution provider will notify both the complainant and respondent of
the impending expiration either at the time the dispute is filed, or no
later than 30 days prior to the expiration of the domain. In order to
facilitate this process, registrars will provide the expiration date of
the domain at the time it confirms the registration of the domain to
the UDRP provider.
3.2.2 In such an event, the complainant will have the option to pay for
a one year renewal at the sponsoring registrar's current prevailing
rate for renewals.
3.2.3 In the event that the complainant paid the renewal fee prior to
the domain name's expiration, the original registrant will have up to
thirty days after the end of the relevant registry's Auto-renew Grace
Period in which to pay for the renewal of the domain name. If neither
the complainant nor the original registrant pay for the renewal of
domain name, it will be subject to deletion no later than the end of
the Auto-renew Grace Period.
3.2.4 In the event that both the registrant and the complainant pay for
the renewal, the name will be renewed on behalf of the original
registrant in accordance with the registrar's usual policy, and any
renewal fee paid by the complainant will be refunded. shall not effect
this provision.
3.2.5 In the event that only the complainant pays for the renewal of
the domain name, prior to the expiration of the Auto-renew Grace Period
the registrar will:
3.2.5.1 Place the name on REGISTRAR HOLD and REGISTRAR LOCK, with the
result that the name will no longer resolve in the DNS.
3.2.5.2 Modify the WHOIS entry for the domain name to indicate that the
name is the subject to a UDRP dispute, and to remove all specific
registration information for the WHOIS record.
3.2.5.3 If the complaint is terminated prior to a panel decision being
rendered, but after the domain name reaches this state, the domain name
will be deleted.
3.2.6 Where only the complainant paid the renewal fee for a domain name
the subject of a UDRP action and the complainant's UDRP case fails, if
the relevant registry's normal renewal grace period has expired, the
domain name will be deleted.
3.2.7 In all other cases, the registrar shall comply with the outcome
of the UDRP dispute in accordance with its regular policies.
3.3 Deletion following a complaint on WHOIS accuracy
3.3.1 The Redemption Grace Period will apply to names deleted due to a
complaint on WHOIS accuracy. However, prior to allowing the redemption
in such a case, the registrar must update the registration with
verified WHOIS data and provide a statement indicating that the data
has been verified in conjunction with the request for the name's
redemption. The same rules that apply to verification of WHOIS data for
regular domain names following a complaint will apply to deleted names.
7. Discussion on WIPO recommendations regarding names and acronyms of
International Intergovernmental Organisations [20 mins]
From: http://www.icann.org/minutes/prelim-report-12mar03.htm
Whereas, the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) sent ICANN
a letter dated 21 February 2003
(http://www.icann.org/correspondence/gurry-letter-to-cerf-lynn-21feb03.htm)
providing information about two decisions, concerning recommendations
about the names and acronyms of International Intergovernmental
Organizations and about country names, which WIPO member states
requested be transmitted to ICANN;
Whereas, Article XI-A, Section 1(6) of the bylaws provides that "The
Governmental Advisory Committee, in addition to the Supporting
Organizations and other Advisory Committees, shall have an opportunity
to comment upon any external advice received prior to any decision by
the Board";
Whereas, the WIPO recommendations appear to be directed to substantive
policies relating to generic top-level domains, and are thus within the
policy-development scope of the Generic Names Supporting Organization
(GNSO);
Whereas, the Board believes that in the future a policy-development
process should be initiated in the GNSO concerning issues discussed in
the WIPO letter, but believes that the formulation of the issues would
benefit from comments from Supporting Organizations and Advisory
Committees before the process is formally initiated;
Resolved [03.22] that Board hereby requests the President to inform the
Governmental Advisory Committee, the Supporting Organizations, and the
other Advisory Committees of the 21 February 2003 letter from WIPO; to
provide those bodies with a copy of the text of the letter; and to
invite them to provide, no later than 12 May 2003, any comments they
may formulate, according to their processes, concerning the matters
discussed in the WIPO letter.
Note the Government Advisory Committee has responded as follows from:
http://www.gac.icann.org/RioMeeting/CommuniqueRioDeJaneiro.htm
4. WIPO II recommendations on names of countries and Inter Governmental
Organisations (IGO)
4.1 GAC considered the WIPO communication to ICANN of 21 February 2003
and the ICANN request for Advice, 12 March 2003. GAC took note that the
WIPO II recommendation to ICANN was based on a formal decision by
Member States, resulting from more than two years' work in the official
WIPO instances.
4.2 GAC's Advice to ICANN is as below:
GAC endorses the WIPO II recommendations that the names and acronyms of
IGOs and country names should be protected against abusive registration
as domain names.
GAC advises the ICANN Board to implement the WIPO II recommendations
regarding the protection of the names of Inter-Governmental
Organisations (IGO) and the protection of Country Names in the Domain
Name System.
As the practical and technical aspects of extending this protection,
and notably the implications for the UDRP, need to be fully understood,
GAC proposes that a joint working group should be established in
conjunction with other interested ICANN constituencies, in particular
the gTLD and ccTLD communities.
8. UDRP Task Force - [10 mins]
- propose closing down the current task force and re-initiating the
policy development process under the new GNSO Policy development
process
- UDRP review needs to take into account experience with new tlds, and
the recommendations from WIPO on names and acronyms of International
Intergovernmental Organisations
- Council to vote to initiate a new policy development process and seek
an issues report from the ICANN Staff Manager on current UDRP issues
taking into account of the work done so far by the UDRP task force and
recent developments.
- allow staff 45 days for this report to be completed.
9. Report from gtld committee - Philip Sheppard [10 mins]
- progress to provide a recommendation
"on whether to structure the evolution of the generic top level
namespace and, if so, how to do so."
10. Any other business
Agenda topics for next meeting (22 May 2003)
o updated rules of procedure for GNSO council
