<div dir="ltr">Maxim, all,<div><br></div><div>Thanks again for sending these technical rules around, and for the good work that staff is doing in this respect.</div><div><br></div><div>I agree these rules should be considered and understood in terms of the overall URS framework, and too often the technical requirements do not see enough light of day that they are warranted.</div><div><br></div><div>In terms of the question that came up during yesterday's presentation on the topic of remedies, it appears that Section 3 ("Domain Name Life-Cycle") and Section 4 ("Registry-Registrar Agreement") relate to the URS policy requirement that enables a Successful Complainant of a URS Proceeding to extent the life-cycle of the domain for one additional year (Section 3). On that point, Section 4 is the provision that implements this rule within the Registry-Registrar agreements. The purpose of this rule is to give the complainant the ability to keep the domain in a suspended status for up to one additional year, while the domain remains registered to the same registrant.</div><div><br></div><div>I believe the presumption made when we were originally developing the URS procedure was that upon the eventual conclusion of suspension/registration period, the domain would lapse and revert back into the pool of general availability. However, as the technical and other implementation rules are drafted, once the suspension period eventually ends the registrant (of the losing URS decision) can renew the domain and continue using it in bad faith. </div><div><br></div><div>Therefore, I believe the continued registration and use of a previously suspended domain is one of the main policy issues for our group to consider under the topic of remedies.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Best regards,</div><div>Claudio</div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Dec 14, 2017 at 5:23 PM, Mary Wong <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mary.wong@icann.org" target="_blank">mary.wong@icann.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<p class="MsoNormal">A link to the URS Technical Requirements was included on the last slide of the URS Rules presentation, and staff also took note of your comment during the call that the Working Group may wish to consider if some provisions in that document
may more appropriately be placed elsewhere (e.g. the URS Rules themselves). We have, however, not added your suggestion to the URS document compilation as our understanding was that the compilation should reflect what had already been circulated as of last
Wednesday.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The staff understanding is also that you and other members’ suggestions on additional or specific topics be added for consideration as part of the URS review will be deliberated on by the Working Group as it decides on an agreed approach.
To that end, we will bring your suggestion to the group’s attention at that time although you will hopefully be on the call to do so and to add further context.<u></u><u></u></p>
