[registrars] Registrars constituency website rehaul

[Michael D. Palage]

Bhavin:

Not to sound like an intellectual property attorney, but who will own the
underlying intellectual property rights in these design features and code.
The reason I ask is that these features may be of value to other
constituencies within the GNSO. Although each constituency may have
different viewpoints/philosophies there is a common denominator regarding
the need to communicate and operate. Perhaps this solution might be made
available to other constituencies within the GNSO or other SOs. This could
be an excellent initiative to show the lead that the registrar constituency
can be a leader in the bottom-up consensus process.

Just a thought.

Mike

Hi all,

Active work has begun on the RC website rehaul process. I have been
coordinating closely with an agency we have appointed here in Bombay to wrap
up the website which will substitute our current website and our current
voting ballot system with a far more functionality.

Some salient features include

* Different membership levels - guest, registrar, paid registrar, ex-com,
administrator

* Reports on registrars - search diff contacts - legal, compliance,
transfers etc for all registrars, check their whois servers etc

* Online vote bot

* Online payments and renewal

* Information sharing between registrars

* Meetings and updates module

* Announcements module

A detailed proposal is attached

I have also attached the current detailed docs of the first module - ie the
Membership Module. I will be sharing details with all of you as and when I
have them

Hopefully I may have something to demo in Argentina - if we canget something
up by then, and if I can make it there :)
