<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi,</div><div><br></div><div>I think it is not appropriate to introduce a new recommendation at the last minute that has not been deliberated and seems to me to be out of scope of this WG.

Unfortunately, Mark and I did not get this in prior to the Friday
deadline, but we still believe that it is crucial to include in the
Initial Report.<br><br>
Although some form of email address is a far preferable solution for many
on this EPDP, it appears that this will not be a recommendation.<br><br>
As it stands, the EPDP Recommendation #13 which is supposed to facilitate
communications with the registrant does not achieve its goal. Many
registrars are using web forms, and in many cases, they are effectively
useless. As an example, one common example is a form that simply lets the
requestor select one of three messages (Domain name or content is being
used in malware, or for spam or abuse; Domain name or content is
infringing on a trademark or violating local laws or regulations; or
Research or other purpose).<br><br>
It has been suggested that this matter be referred to the Phase 1 IRT,
but without a recommendation saying that the policy may set web form
content, there is no way for the IRT to establish such enforceable
rules.<br><br>
Accordingly, the Initial Report must include a new
Recommendation:<br><br>
<font color="#0000FF"><b>Recommendation<br><br>
The Phase 1 Recommendation 13 should be amended to include: Should
a Registrar choose to use a web form, that form must allow at the
requester to specify the Subject of the email to be send (up to 64
characters) and a free-form text message of up to 512 characters to be
included in the communication to the registrant.<br><br>
