[bc-gnso] FOR REVIEW: BC comment on ICANN's focus for 5-year strategic plan

[Nat Cohen]

Members,

Thanks for all the work that has gone into drafting and reviewing this
response.

One key responsibility of ICANN is not mentioned in the document, and that
is administration of the UDRP.  The UDRP is now in its 15th year.  ICANN
has largely abdicated its responsibility to oversee the implementation of
the UDRP, leaving an ever increasing number of UDR providers to develop
their own separate approaches.

As the UDRP determines the limits of a registrant's rights to its its
domains, and how those rights can be cancelled, a uniform, predictable UDRP
is fundamental to maintaining a secure and stable 'identifier ecosystem'.

The first Focus Area Goal would be an appropriate location to reference the
UDRP:

*Foster and coordinate a secure, stable and resilient identifier ecosystem,
including the stable, secure, trusted operation of the DNS.    *

The Outcome of this focus would be "to Improve the uniformity and
consistency of implementation of the UDRP across UDR providers and to
eliminate bias".

For the measurement criteria, I would propose conducting an outside, expert
audit/white paper reviewing the implementation of the UDRP and then making
specific policy changes based on the findings of the audit/white paper
review.

Regards,

Nat Cohen
