question 3

Hi All,
In answering our newest question, Category B-question 3, I would ask that an
expansion of the NCSG comments be included in the summary of comments
received. NCSG has now commented extensively on rights a domain name
registrant should have when using a proxy/privacy service -- and our focus
has been on two aspects (although there are more to discuss), namely: a)
access to proxy/privacy services, and b) due process in the limitation
and/or termination of these services.

Access: NCSG submits that in the gTLD system, p/p is a needed and legitimate
service for noncommercial organizations, including public interest groups,
religious groups, educational organization, charities, and hobby groups, as
well as individuals, entrepreneurs and small businesses. We would like to
see that right of access protected and ensured.

Due Process: NCSG submits that the p/p customer should be assured of the
right to engage in a dialogue with the proxy/privacy service provider before
contact data is released or published (when legally allowed), and given the
opportunity to show if the request for contact data is intended to to harm,
harass, damage competition or diminish Freedom of Expression or Assembly
rights. Further, the NSCG comments discussed (as reflected in the current
template) the importance of allowing Registrars to follow their national
laws and practices and incorporate the privacy, data protection and due
process of ther laws into their p/p contracts with customers.  What is
illegal in one country is not illegal in another country -- be it speech
activities, religious activities, political activities or even comparative
advertising (in which a particular product or service specifically mentions
a competitor by name for the express purpose of showing why the competitor
is inferior to the product naming it). These robust differences must be
taking into account when drafting a general set of accreditation principles
for rights and responsibilities of Registrants.

We respectfully submit there are many rights, as well as responsibilities,
to consider in this question tomorrow... and look forward to the discussion.
Best,
Kathy

> RAE must be permitted by the registrar to renew the expired registration'.
> What if the underlying customer wants to renew the registration? Idem for
> restoration during the Redemption Grace Period.
> * In relation to the IRTP, should there be any restrictions concerning
> transfers of P/P registrations? (e.g. some of the terms and conditions require
> the P/P services to be removed during the transfer process). Depending on the
> response to this question, all communications in the IRTP currently go via the
> transfer contact (Registered Name Holder / Admin Contact). Should there be any
> requirements for this information to also be communicated to the P/P customer?
> What happens if there is a disagreement relating to the transfer between the
> P/P provider and the P/P customer?
