Subject: [CAREG-DISCUSS]: Resellers issue in ca-registry


>
> Greetings all:
>
> The Board of CIRA met yesterday (Tuesday October 2, 2001). One of the
issues
> discussed is important to ca-registrars, namely the subject of resellers.
> Options were debated as to how to proceed to discuss and resolve this
issue.
> The discussion assumed that registrars were a key element of the solution
> and that ways should be found for registrars to work out a common
position,
> if they could.
>
> The outcome of the discussion was as follows:
>
> The Board of CIRA would like to receive proposals and comments by January
7,
> 2002 on a paper that Bernard Turcotte will issue shortly.
>
> These comments and proposals will come from the public, and registrars are
> asked to express their views.
>
> The staff of CIRA will prepare a factual summary of the positions taken
> after January 7 for the Board to review. The positions and comments will
be
> put up at CIRA's web site.
>
> The Board is expected to discuss the submissions and try to come up with a
> policy on resellers at its meeting on January 29, 2002.
>
> It is my conviction that the Board will not be able to do this unless the
> registrars theselves have already worked out the solution, or most of it,
> before that time. Most Board members would agree, if they were asked.
>
> At the same time as this process is going on, ca- registrars will set up a
> new list serve, open to anyone who wants to write to the topic of
resellers.
> This may include the Bureau of Competition Policy or others.
>
> The new list serve will put the reseller issue off the <ca-registrars
> discuss> list so that people not interested in the issue will not be
> disturbed by it.
>
>
> The title of the list serve is <ca-resellers@tucows.com>.

> I will act as moderator, if necessary, in case people get too abusive or
> write to the list too many times a day. My role as ca-registrars
> representative is try to bring people to agreement. I want a solution that
> registrars are comfortable with. I continue to believe that registrars are
> best suited to come up with a solution that works for them, and that their
> negotitated solution would be accepted by the Board of CIRA.

> This announcement is being sent to the CIRA Board, the ca-registrars
