<a href="http://domainincite.com/category/domain-registries" title="View all posts in Domain Registries" rel="category tag">Domain Registries</a>
</div>
<p><strong>ICANN directors Mike Silber and Chris Disspain have updated their official statements of interest — used to identify potential conflicts on the board — after a complaint from a .africa applicant.</strong></p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/sois/summary-soi-18dec12-en.htm" title="ICANN" target="_blank">new SOI statement</a> more clearly specifies the relationship between South African ccTLD policymaker ZADNA — for which Silber acts as treasurer — and Uniforum, which has applied for the .africa gTLD.</p>
<p>It also gives a bit more information about Disspain’s employer, .au policymaker AuDA, and ARI Registry Services, which is providing the back-end registry services for dozens of new gTLD applicants.</p>
<p>Here’s Silber’s new SOI summary, with the relevant new text highlighted:</p>
<blockquote><p>Member of the Management Committee and Treasurer of the Internet Service Providers’ Association (ISPA) South Africa. He is also, a Director and Treasurer of the .za Domain Name Authority, the ccTLD administrator for .za. <strong>The .za Domain Name Authority has concluded an arms-length operating agreement with Uniforum t/a the .za Central Registry for Uniforum to operate the .za registry. Under the agreement, Uniforum will collect and pay transaction fees to .za Domain Name Authority. Uniforum is acting as the registry service provider for various new gTLD applicants.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Here’s Disspain’s, again with my emphasis:</p>
<blockquote><p>Director and CEO of .au Domain Administration Limited, the .au ccTLD manager; .au has sponsorship agreement with ICANN under which .au pays ICANN a yearly amount based on the amount of names under management. Former Officer of ICANN, Paul Levins, is a Director of .au Domain Administration Limited. <strong>.au Domain Administration Limited licenses AusRegistry Pty Ltd to run the registry for the second level names in .au. Under the Registry License agreement, AusRegistry pays fees to auDA; companies affiliated with AusRegistry are affiliated with new gTLD applications.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>AusRegistry is technically ARI’s parent, but they share many of the same senior executives.</p>
<p>The updated statement comes shortly after a <a href="http://domainincite.com/11262-ombudsman-asks-dca-to-simmer-down-after-africa-conflict-of-interest-complaint" title="DI">complaint filed with ICANN’s Ombudsman</a> by .africa applicant DotConnectAfrica about Silber and Disspain’s alleged conflicts of interest over the gTLD.</p>
<p>While the indirect connection between Silber and DCA’s rival .africa applicant Uniforum is clear, it was not obvious to Ombudsman Chris LaHatte what Disspain’s conflict was supposed to be.</p>
<p>LaHatte found no actions that constituted conflicts of interest from either director, but he appeared to nudge the board to providing fuller disclosure, which is what seems to have happened here.</p>
