Dear council-members,<br>
<br>
after extensive discussion of the question put before us, the RrSG
has likewise found this excemption to be inconsistent with both the
language as well as with the spirit of the recommendation.<br>
<br>
The question we have been asked is not whether we like the proposed
exemption or can live with it, but rather a very simple one: Is the
proposed incorporation of an ability to restrict nondiscriminatory
registrar access to dotBrand TLDs is not consistent with the intent
and wording of Recommendation 19, or is it not. The recommendation
explicitly states that "Registries (...) may not discriminate among
(ICANN) accredited registrars". In other words, the language of the
Recommendation 19 contradicts the proposed exemption. <br>
<br>
Therefore, to find the additional language to be consistent with the
recommendation requires substantial arguments to that effect that
would allow such an interpretation. To find it consistent because
one likes the result or can live with the result does not fulfill
this requirement. For such cases where implementation would conflict
with existing policy, further policy work adjusting or confirming
the Policy Recommendation is required. The GNSO Council should take
the lead in initiating this policy work.<br>
<br>
Beyond the grammatical inconsistency of the Recommendation, the
intent of the Recommendation also indicates inconsistency.<br>
<br>
As detailed in the final report on the Introduction of New Generic
Top Level Domains, the recommendation was supported by all GNSO
Constituencies and Mrs Doria. According to the recollections of
members of the new gTLD policy committee at the time the
Recommendation was agreed upon, the concept of restricting registrar
access was discussed in the context of community TLDs, which are in
many ways similar to dotBrands. As registries have the ability under
the Registry Agreement to restrict registrar access to their TLDs by
establishing reasonable, nondiscriminatory accreditation criteria,
it was ultimately agreed that discrimintation between registrars
should not be permitted.<br>
<br>
In fact, the only public comment with regard to this recommendation
came from the RyC, which was concerned that small, specialized
registries may not be able to find a registrar to carry them. Note
that this concern deals with a completely different problem. This
concern led to the Vertical Integration Working group and the
subsequent board decision allowing vertical integration. The idea of
allowing only a few registrars does not appear in the Final Report.<br>
<br>
Finally, as registrants, dotBrands are perfectly free to
discriminate between registrars. The Recommendation only deals with
registries. By establishing certain registration requirements and
policies, registries can further eliminate the ability of registrars
to provide registry services beyond the eligible circle of
registrants. <br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>

Feedback:
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What we have been asked by the Board is to "advise ICANN as
to whether the GNSO Council believes that this additional
provision is inconsistent with the letter and intent
of GNSO Policy Recommendation 19 on the Introduction of New
Generic Top-Level Domains.”</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Policy Recommendation 19 reads: "Registries must use only
ICANN accredited registrars in registering domain names and may
not discriminate among such accredited registrars.” <a

The discussion section of this policy recommendation does not
make for any exceptions for brands.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Plainly, as I read the provisions of the .BRAND Specification
13, it is “inconsistent with the letter and intent of GNSO
Policy Recommendation 19.” </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Now, I personally happen to think that the draft
Specification 13 for .BRAND TLDs is a tightly drafted,
well-considered exception for a specialized type of TLD that was
not being considered carefully when Recommendation 19 was
prepared. BUT, it is definitely inconsistent with the policy
recommendation we made in August, 2007. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Let’s think about what this means.</div>
