[CPWG] Example of Voluntary PIC

[Alan Greenberg]

On the CPWG call today, there was a discussion of 
Voluntary PICs and whether they had any meaningful benefit.

I mentioned that in the ALAC review of the GAC 
concern over TLDs using strings representing 
highly regulated sectors, we found that there 
were some TLDs in those sectors that used 
voluntary picks to mitigate possible problems.

Two such examples are included.

Eligibility / Validation - Eligible registrants 
in the TLD will be limited to those entities 
designated, or pending designation, as a GmbH 
(Gesellschaft mit besechränkter Haftung) limited 
liability entity whose existence can be validated 
with the respective public authorities in 
Austria, Germany, Liechtenstein or Switzerland. 
Registry Operator will include a provision in 
their Registry-Registrar Agreements that requires 
registrars to include in their Registration

that the registrant possesses the necessary 
registration and designation under applicable law for registration in the TLD.

Registry Operators will include a provision in 
their Registry?Registrar Agreements that requires 
registrars to include in their Registration 
Agreements a provision requiring a representation 
that the registrant possesses any necessary 
authorizations, charters, licenses and/or other 
related credentials for participation in the sector associated with the TLD.

If a Registry Operator receives a complaint 
expressing doubt with regard to the authenticity 
of licenses or credentials, Registry Operators 
should consult with relevant national supervisory 
authorities, or their equivalents regarding the authenticity.
