[nc-transfer] Deletions Issue (outside our mandate)
All,
On the last two calls we have
been talking about whether we should address the many issues surrounding domain
name deletions in the "TRANSFER Task Force." Let me again reiterate that
as important I believe that issue is to the Internet community, the TRANSFERS
Task Force is not the appropriate body to be working on that issue
(or those issues....actually I am not sure what the issues we would be looking
at would be).
The point is clear. There
are rules that have been set out by the Names Council on the operation of Task
Forces (and there will be different ones in the new GNSO that we are working
on), but the fact remains that a Task Force is convened for a narrow
purpose and may not exceed that scope without a formal recommendation from
the Names Council regardless of how bad we want to address the issue. As
inconvenient or time consuming as this process may be, we must follow these
rules. The Deletions issues may indeed need to go to a Task Force.
But that is a decision for the Names Council and not for us.
We have a tough job to do, and
that is to draft a report on Transfers. We have to buckle down and get
that done. I implore each of you to recommend that we refer the deletions
issues to the Names Council to convene a different task force to address
this subject. Neither Christine nor I were selected by my
constituency to represent them on deletions.
Personally, I am not sure I
have the time to address those issues on a Task Force. So, I am putting
everyone on the group on notice, that if we start addressing those issues,
neither Christine nor I are authorized to speak on behalf of the
constituency. Please try to understand that I am not doing this to be
difficult, but rather because I (like a lot of people on this committee) am
extremely busy and do not feel that I can devote the time that is needed to
address the "DELETIONS" issue.
I remain faithfully committed,
however, to finishing the work on the Transfers.
