it is the view of the drafting Team that the objective of the Working Group

the drafting team recommends that the GNSO Council charter a Working Group to

broadly with knowledgeable individuals and organizations, to further define and

registration abuse, as distinct from abuse arising solely from use of a domain
name while it is registered. The Working Group should also identify which
aspects of the subject of registration abuse are within ICANN's mission to
address and which are within the set of topics on which ICANN may establish
policies that are binding on gTLD registry operators and ICANN-accredited
registrars. This</span></font> <font face=Arial><span style='font-family:Arial'>task
