[council] FW: Intellectual Property Constituency Communication to ICANN Regarding dotSUCKS

Wed Apr 1 16:12:45 UTC 2015

Agree with Volker.

This TLD has attracted quite a bit of (negative, and perhaps deservedly so) attention recently, but I am confused by this letter.  The window to take action was likely prior to delegation.  Once the TLD is delegated and the contract is signed, I don’t see ICANN Staff having the authority to do anything to “halt” the launch.  Probably why they didn’t….

Thanks—

J.

Interesting business model, but not really an issue for the GNSO, unless someone is proposing to take this as a basis for new policy development.
As an observer with no skin in this game, this looks to be an issue for compliance to determine if the model violates the policies and/or contracts or not and if it does, to take action accordingly.

For the interesting question of the different fee structure, there seems to be an explanation already:

Dear Jonathan,

It was a pleasure working with you in Istanbul.

In your role as Chair of the GNSO, I am sending you a copy of the attached letter, just sent to ICANN, expressing the concerns of the Intellectual Property Constituency regarding the .SUCKS registry.

Best Regards,

Greg

President, Intellectual Property Constituency
