Ken:
It is easy to add language making it clear that DNSO
policy is against new financial barriers or accreditation 
fees. We want de-accreditation to be based on 
marketing practices, not on payments. I will do that
today and run it by the list.

As for whether the new org must "honor 
the accredited status of existing registrars,"
that is somewhat ambiguous.

The real question is whether the new org can
DE-accredit registrars, or whether it can establish
an additional accreditation process to ensure that 
its marketing scheme for .org is followed. 

As the policy now stands, we have made it POSSIBLE,
but NOT REQUIRED, for applicants to propose 
and accreditation process, subject to the proviso
that the process "minimiz[e] bureaucracy, enforcement 
costs, and restrictions on registrars."

Good enough? I think so. If an applicant proposes
an onerous accreditation procedure, then you
can raise hell about it in the comment period
and lobby against that applicant. I suspect
that most applicants will be careful not to
alienate registrars.

 milton...
 
 i tried reach guillermo yesterday and circuits were busy
 
 if we could incorporate into the document language  insuring that the new
 mgt. company will not impose any onerous accreditation fees or "new
 financial barriers"  and will honor the ICANN accredited status of the
 existing registrars this would be a very good start.
 
 i also feel that it is essential that an acknowledgement be made that all
 parties recognize the need for registrar constituency input into this part
 of the transition process as we are significantly impacted by it.
 
 does anyone have any problems with these concepts and incorporating them .
 if you all don't then please incorporate at least the first paragraph into
 the document. registrars can send in a note regarding the second paragraph
 to the council seperately but the language in the first paragraph is very
 important to our constituancy.

OK, I MUST have something acceptable by tomorrow
(Friday, Nov 30). Otherwise I have to forward
the policy as is (v 4.2) to Council.  --MM

I will contact Guillermo tomorrow and see what we can do to help clarify
this issue.
