[nc-transfer] Clarification on gTLD Position on Deletes
First, let me apologize for not
being present on the call. I have some health related issues that I needed
to take care of. I hope this message clears some things
up.
1) The gTLD Constituency
believes wholeheartedly that there are several issues related to the deletion of
domain names that warrant some immediate attention.
2) These ideas need to be
explored as soon as possible by a working group or task force of the Domain Name
Supporting Organization.
3) This Transfer Task
Force must complete its work with respect to issues surrounding the "transfer"
of domain names as soon as possible.
4) In accordance with the
current rules of the Names Council and the proposed rules set out by the Policy
Names Development Group, Task Forces are put into place to address only those
narrow issues that are given to it by the Names Council and should not address
those items outside that scope.
5) Although a slim number
of issues surrounding deletes were discussed in relation to the Wait List
Service, that does not give the Task Force jurisdiction to address the possible
hundreds of issued surrounding deletes in general. (Yes, I know I was not
a member of the TF at that time, but I did read all of the archives and
the minutes).
6) The longer we
discuss who the appropriate body is to deal with the delete issues, the more
time elapses and nothing gets done.
7) Therefore, we
recommend:
a) The
Transfer Task Force complete its work with respect to domain name transfers as
soon as possible by the Shaghai meeting.
b) The
topic of deletes, including who is the appropriate body to deal with this issue,
should immediately without any delay be referred to the Names Council.
c) We let the Names Council set out a new Task Force to deal
with the issues of Deletes, including approving a new Terms of Reference for the
New Task Force.
Thank you. Please let me
know if you have any questions.
