Comments on the RFP for Dot Org
Greetings to all,
Sorry for
making your life even more overloaded, you will find below our ToR and few
items as I see it -- your comments, corrections, modifications and
idea are very welcome.
A. The terms of reference of this reactivated
NC Dot Org TF has been set at the NC of 24 April
2002 http://www.dnso.org/dnso/notes/20020424.NCteleconf-minutes.html
Decision 2: reactivate dot ORG task Force for the
single task of providing comments to
the NC on the Dot Org RFP.
This action follows the ICANN
Board's request to the NC to comment on Request for Proposal
(RFP) materials for Dot ORG. http://www.icann.org/minutes/prelim-report-22apr02.htm
1 May 2002 - Posting of draft Request for Proposal
(RFP) materials for Names Council comment
and for applicants to begin working on their
proposals
13 May 2002 - DNSO Names
Council to provide ICANN Secretary any
comment on the posted materials
The timeline for our TF
has been set by the NC Chair in http://www.dnso.org/clubpublic/council/Arc10/msg00143.html
explicitely on 8th May, which is "at least 5 calendar days
prior to the May 13 deadline"
B. The reading of documents provided by
ICANN staff for the new gTLD in 2000 may be of
help:
New TLD Program Application Process
Archive http://www.icann.org/tlds/app-index.htm
Criteria for Assessing TLD Proposals: http://www.icann.org/tlds/tld-criteria-15aug00.htm
Not everything is pertinent to Dot Org case, but I recomment
(1), (8) and (9): 1. The need to maintain the
Internet's stability. 8. Appropriate protections
of rights of others in
connection with the operation of the TLD. 9. The
completeness of the proposals submitted and
the extent to which they
demonstrate realistic business,
financial, technical, and operational plans
and sound analysis of market
needs.
C. In order to provide comment on the RFP for the new Dot Org
Registry we need to focus on understanding of operational
elements. The main difference between Dot Org successor and
new gTLD registry is that the first one must be up and
running to take over 3 million domain names in a very short
time, but will not have to face any headache for
sunrise.
I would suggest to gather some facts and
information (when possible)
about:
Current Dot Org Registry
size: - number of domain names, distribution
of expiration data per year (how
many expires and when, by month) - number of
domain names, distribution per country of
Registrant
The staff necessary to
operate an open Registry of the size of 3
million of domain names. It includes to
estimate how many engineers, accountants,
and other categories of staff are required
to carry out operation of that
organization.
Requirements for
operations and distribution of name
servers.
Requirements for operations of
whois service.
D. No doubts that the nc-org archives will be
usefull, http://www.dnso.org/clubpublic/nc-org/Arc00/
as well as the assotiated comments, http://www.dnso.org/dnso/dnsocomments/comments-dotorg/Arc01/
E.
Eventually I would suggest we convene NOW, before 1st May, a
short teleconference with Louis Touton to discuss the RFP
issue and have better understanding of the prepared RFP. I may
provide the bridge.
There are two
questions: do you think it is a good idea
? are you awailable ?
If
yes, the only one possible date would be Monday 29 or Tuesday
30 April ? At usual time of the NC calls (13:00 UTC) ? or at
20:00 UTC
?
UTC=13 UTC=20
