Hope it is helpful.=20 =20 Best Regards, Ariel =20 Ariel Xinyue Liang Policy Analyst | Washington, DC=20 Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN)=20 =20 =20 Registry Requirement 8: Have ICANN received ERSR Waiver requests from Regis= try Operators? Has this provision been implemented? =20 Registry Requirement 8: Following the activation of a URS Lock or, if appli= cable, URS Suspension on a domain name, if the Registry Operator in its good= faith belief concludes that the activation of URS Suspension on the domain= name is likely to create a present or imminent security incident to the TLD= or the DNS (e.g. indirect effects on a significant number of domain names r= elated to possible child hosts that would result in resolution issues after= activating the URS Suspension), the Registry Operator MAY submit an =E2=80=9CExpe= dited Registry Security Request=E2=80=9D to ICANN requesting that ICANN grant the = Registry Operator a waiver from compliance with these Technical Requirements= in order to deactivate the URS Lock or URS Suspension on the domain name (= =E2=80=9CERSR Waiver=E2=80=9D). ICANN will promptly engage all parties related to the ER= SR Waiver on a case by case basis to reach a final resolution to the concern= s that led to the Registry Operator=E2=80=99s ERSR Waiver request. =20 GDD Response: Yes, Registry Operators have requested ERSR waivers via ICANN= =E2=80=99s Naming Services portal. After an ERSR request is submitted, the Securi= ty Response Team reviews and considers the ERSR in collaboration with the af= fected registry. While the details are confidential, in most cases ICANN org= has granted a waiver from compliance with a specific provision of the Regis= try Agreement for the time period necessary to respond to the incident. For= more information on the steps that are taken, please see: https://www.icann= .org/resources/pages/ersr-2012-02-25-en =20 Registry-Registrar Agreement: Have Registry Operators modified their Regist= ry-Registrar Agreement to reflect these two requirements? =20 The Registry Operator MUST specify in the Registry-Registrar Agreement for = the Registry Operator=E2=80=99s TLD that the Registrar MUST accept and process pay= ments for the renewal of a domain name by a URS Complainant in cases where = the URS Complainant prevailed. =20 The Registry Operator MUST specify in the Registry-Registrar Agreement for = the Registry Operator=E2=80=99s TLD that the Registrar MUST NOT renew a domain nam= e to a URS Complainant who prevailed for longer than one year (if allowed b= y the maximum validity period of the TLD). =20 GDD Response: Per the new gTLD Registry Agreement Specification 7, Registry= Operators must comply with the URS mechanism. ICANN does not require ROs to= provide their RRA to ICANN. When there is an RRA amendment, the RO is requi= red to obtain ICANN approval for the amendments. For more information on th= e Procedure, see: https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/rra-amendment-proced= ure-2015-04-06-en. The ROs submit the RRA amendment approval request via IC= ANN=E2=80=99s Naming Services portal. =20 [Staff note]: While ICANN GDD does not know 100% whether ROs have included = in their RRA those two requirements (as ICANN does not require ROs to provid= e their RRAs), but since ROs must comply with the URS mechanisms, and the t= wo requirements are explicitly stated in the URS High Level Technical Requir= ements, it is a high likelihood that ROs have included in their RRAs these r= equirements.=20 =20 Registrar Requirement 2: Could GDD provide clarification on how they inter= pret this provision? =20 Registrar Requirement 2: Registrar MUST follow the normal domain name lifec= ycle for a URS Locked domain name. If the domain name registrant elects to r= enew, elected to auto-renew or restore the domain name registration, Regist= rar MAY accept such renewal and/or restoration (if the Registry Operator imp= lements RGP). =20 GDD Response: The Registrar may accept the registrant=E2=80=99s renewal and/or re= storation of the locked domain name. If registrant elected to renew =E2=80=93 during Auto-Renew Grace Period If registrant elected to auto-renew =E2=80=93 before domain name expires If registrant elected to restore the domain name registration =E2=80=93 during th= e Redemption Grace Period (RGP)=20 For more information on the domain name lifecycle, please see: https://www.= icann.org/resources/pages/gtld-lifecycle-2012-02-25-en & Registry Requireme= nt 9 in the URS High Level Technical Requirements for Registries and Registr= ars:https://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/urs/tech-requirements-17oct13-e= n.pdf =20 =20 =20 =20 =20 =20 =20 --B_3606898395_1170295082 Content-Type: text/html;
