Re: [nc-org] wrap up

[Elisabeth Porteneuve <Elisabeth.Porteneuve@cetp.ipsl.fr>]

It is a late comment, and I do not know
if it belongs to this TF or elswhere.

Neither (5) nor (6), quoted below, provides any guidance
about the new Dot Org Registry Operator with regard to other
Registry or Registrar activities:
   a. Shall the new Dot Org Registry Operator have its
      activity limited only to Registry functions
      (and be in neutral position to all accredited Registrars)
   b. Shall the new Dot Org Registry Operator have its
      activity limited to only ONE TLD
      (in other words: do we accept a possible phenomena of 
      concentration of several TLD Registries being run by one entity ?)

5. The Registry Operator
Any entity chosen by the Sponsoring Organization
to operate the .org registry must function efficiently
and reliably and show its commitment to a high quality
of service for all .org users worldwide, including a
commitment to making registration, assistance and
other services available in different time zones and
different languages. The price of registration
proposed by the new entity should be as low as
feasible consistent with the maintenance of good
quality service.

6. ICANN Policies
TLD administration must adhere to policies defined
through ICANN processes, such as policies regarding
registrar accreditation, shared registry access,
dispute resolution, and access to registration contact
data. The new entity must not alter the technical
protocols it uses in ways that would impair the
ability of accredited registrars to sell names to end
users.
