	Subject: [gnso-rap-dt] Update from Registration Abuse Charter
Drafting Team to the GNSO Council
	
	

	All,

	 

	Today the charter drafting team on registration abuse met for
the first time.  The group plans to meet weekly but it recognized early
on that it would not be ready to offer a proposed charter by 15 January
as requested by the Council.  The team proposes to complete its
assignment no later than 12 February, in time for the Council to
consider the proposed charter at its upcoming 19 February meeting.

	 

	Currently the members of the drafting team are:

	 

	Olga Cavalli - NomCom

	Kristina Rosette - IPC 

	Mike Rodenbaugh - CBUC

	Greg Aaron - Registry c.

	James Bladel - Registrar c.

	 

	The team urges participation from the ISPCP constituency and
NCUC, as well as interested AC participation.

	 

	I've reprinted the relevant resolution below for your reference.


	 

	Thanks, Liz

	Resolution on the GNSO Issues Report on Registration Abuse
Policies

	 

	Whereas:

	 

	The GNSO Issues Report on Registration Abuse Policies indicated
that further review, evaluation and study be done before a PDP is
initiated,

	 

	Resolved:

	 

	That a drafting team be formed to create a proposed charter for
a working group to investigate the open issues documented in the issues
report on Registrations Abuse Policy. Specifically:

	 

	9.1 Review and Evaluate Findings

	A first step would be for the GNSO Council to review and
evaluate the findings, taking into account that this report provides an
overview of registration abuse provisions, but does not analyse how
these provisions are implemented in practice and whether they are deemed
effective in addressing registration abuse.

	9.2 Identify specific policy issues

	Following the review and evaluation of the findings, the GNSO
Council would need to determine whether there are specific policy issues
regarding registration abuse. As part of this determination it would be
helpful to define the specific type(s) of abuse of concern, especially
distinguishing between registration abuse and other types of abuse if
relevant.

	9.3 Need for further research

	As part of the previous two steps, ICANN Staff would recommend
that the GNSO Council determines where further research may be needed -
e.g. is lack of uniformity a substantial problem, how effective are
current registration abuse provisions in addressing abuse in practice,
is an initial review or analysis of the UDRP required?

	 

	The WG charter should be ready for review by the council on or
before 15 January 2009 and will be voted on at the council meeting of 29
January 2009 at which time the council will take the by-laws required
PDP vote.
