[registrars] FW: MUSEUM proposal

[Nevett, Jonathon]

Right. Changing that provision would be the accommodation that I am suggesting in this limited  case.  It is better, in my eyes,  than the 5,000 name provision. Thanks. Jon

Hello All,


>>>	I too suggested that the .museum sponsor simply become
accredited as a registrar. 

Note there are actually two provisions in some of the registry
agreements.
E.g from .biz:


7.1 (b)  Registry Operator Shall Not Act as Own Registrar. Registry
Operator shall not act as a registrar with respect to the TLD. This
shall not preclude Registry Operator from registering names within the
TLD to itself through a request made to an ICANN-accredited registrar.

7.1 (c)  Restrictions on Acquisition of Ownership or Controlling
Interest in Registrar. Registry Operator shall not acquire, directly or
indirectly, control of, or a greater than fifteen percent ownership
interest in, any ICANN-accredited registrar.


The second provision above may put a limitation on a sponsor becoming
accredited as a registrar.

Regards,
Bruce
