Two updates to the review/vote I circulated on 2-April (below):

1. Benedetta sent minutes & transcript of 28-March call among BC members 
and representatives of ACDR (link)

2. ACDR later circulated written answers to several of the questions 
discussed on the call (link)

Remember: Please review and reply with your vote before 12-April.

Subject: [bc-gnso] FOR REVIEW AND VOTE: Alternative positions for ACDR 
proposal as UDRP Provider

ICANN has called for comments regarding ACDR's proposal to serve as a UDRP 
provider (link).  The comment period ends 13-Apr.  (UDRP is the Uniform 
Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy)

Note: ACDR is the Arab Center for Domain Name Dispute Resolution, and is 
affiliated with BC Member Talal Abu-Ghazaleh. 

Phil Corwin and Nat Cohen volunteered as rapporteurs for these comments. 
We circulated Phil's initial draft on 20-Mar.  The BC held a conference 
call on 28-March with ACDR representatives to discuss the first draft 
(transcript available on request). 

As a result of that discussion, the BC is now considering two alternative 
positions:

Version 1:  The existing BC position, with no comment on the merits of 
ACDR's proposal.  This would maintain the present BC position that no new 
providers should be approved until ICANN has standards for UDRP 
administration.

Version 2: Amend the present BC position and give "Qualified Endorsement" 
to ACDR's proposal. 
This alternative repeats the BC's prior rationale for ICANN to develop 
standards for UDRP administration.  It then modifies the prior position to 
acknowledge that ICANN may approve ACDR's proposal since they have 
acknowledged process concerns, answered questions, and agreed to adopt any 
standards ICANN develops.  The endorsement is "qualified" in that the BC 
requests ICANN to develop standards for UDRP administration, and suggests 
a staff-driven process with community input.

Voting: 

BC members should vote for either Version 1 or Version 2. 

To vote, please reply to this email indicating your support for Version 1 
or Version 2. 

Voting will close on 12-April so that we can submit the comment on 
13-April.

Per our charter, a simple majority prevails and the required quorum is 50 
percent of paid BC members.

As always, members can REPLY ALL at any time to share their views on this 
issue.
