Due to the high volume and compressed amount of time to review all of the GDR RRA Amendments, we took note of their (wise) efforts towards homogeneity and simplification of agreements, and rather than review n number of different agreements, we reviewed sections, and pointed out some of the key aspects that needed to get revisions.  Each RRA might already have this wording change or some of these sections might have elements that were not in the amended materials, as the tranche of TLDs came from different RO entities that were consolidating.

Here were the four things caught by the initial review team, with suggested remedies. These are applicable to some or many of the RRA Amendments in review.

  1.  § 3.13 Where there may be registration eligibility requirements, registrars would want this to have to be posted or available somewhere for download and have notice of updates of at least 30 days in writing.

Remedy: To solve this, we would like Registry Operator to confirm where registrars can find the policies described in that section.  A reference to “which Registry Operator will publish in a designated place” or “which will be effective upon thirty (30) days’ notice by Registry Operator to Registrar” or similar.
  2.  § 3.15 There is an issue of sharing data that stems from where it would/may be legally ambiguous or perhaps violate law on sharing of data.

Remedy: The text “and share data” being struck could make this workable.  Some elements or even whole records could include sensitive data or violate law to do this as-currently written.
  3.  § 3.16.1 This locking and handling of names in URS is a Registry not registrar Responsibility - No Change of Registrant could be possible unless the registry were to fail with lock, and the concern we have is being in a position to be responsible.

Remedy: Please include an explanation of what registrars are expected to do for this, as we should not be responsible for something if the registry makes a mistake.
  4.  § 4.1.1 Ambiguity could exist if the RA changes. Remove reference to the RA and instead provide this in writing as updating.  Registrars seek that registries always provide the maximum possible period for any timeframe, as the notice on ANY pricing change as this has to be assimilated into reseller / UI / customer communications.

Remedy: We recommend they strike “to the extent and in the manner that such adjustments are permitted by the Registry Agreement.”
Please let me know if you have any questions or difficulty with the above.  This is a new approach we are trying for batched RRA amendments.

Thanks, and apologies for the delay,

Ashley Heineman
Chair, RrSG

Dear all,

My apologies, but the RrSG needs yet additional time to review the GDR related RRA amendments and request an extension until November 1 (after ICANN 72) to respond.  To be clear, I am referring to the following RRA amendments:

.BIZ
.CLUB
.COMPARE
.DESIGN
.SELECT
Registry Services (21 TLDs)

Thank you in advance for your patience.  I assure you that we are working on these, but the sheer number has proven very difficult for purposes of time needed to review.

Regards,

Ashley Heineman
