[RRA] RRA Amendment Notification for .hiphop [ ref:_00D616tJk._5004Mra3rc:ref ]

[Catherine Merdinger]

ICANN and Registry Operator,

Please find below the concerns and requests regarding the .HIPHOP RRA from
the RrSG.


- Previously, under what is now Section 2.3, the registry guaranteed
registrars “commercially reasonable notice” of any changes to the System.
As you have inserted that this notice will only be required for “material”
changes, the RrSG is uncomfortable with the change.  We would specifically
ask for either a specific notice period required for material changes, or
removal of “material” and have notice required for all changes. As changes
to the System could require engineering efforts by registrars, which can
require significant time and planning, we would prefer to build in one of
these buffers.
- The RrSG would like to confirm that the license granted to the data
elements in Section 2.7, which specifically references “through both the
WHOIS and RDAP protocols,” does not obligate the registrar to operate a
Whois service for the TLD after the official sunset of Whois by ICANN.


We noted a few typographical errors, that we would simply ask the registry
operator to correct in the final version:

- Section 1.15 is missing the word “agreement” between “means the” and
“between”
- Section 1.17 defines “System” but the agreement uses the term “Registry
System” – can you please confirm these are meant to be the same thing?
- We believe the term “Supported TLD” is a holdover from the previous
version, as the term is not defined in this agreement, though “TLD” is
defined.  Can you either update the references to “Supported TLD” or
confirm if that definition is meant to be more expansive than the
definition of “TLD”?
- Section 2.8.1 refers to Section 10, but there is no Section 10.
- Section 2.11 refers to Section 6.7, but there is no Section 6.7.
- Section 2.24 is missing a “days’” between “thirty (30)” and “notice.”
- Section 3.4 should say “in this Section do not extend.”
- Section 4.1 adds “either” but does not have an “or”- if there is another
place the pricing will be posted or how it will be communicated to the
registrars, can you please update to reflect that?
- Section 4.8 states “defined in Section 5.1 above” and “under this Section
5.2.”  We believe these references should be updated as the numbering on
the document was updated from the original version.
- Sections 4.9 and 4.10 also refer to “this Section 5” – please update to
refer to Section 4.
- Section 4.10 also references “pursuant to Section 6.2 below” – we believe
this should be Section 5.2 below.
- Section 5.8 references “Section 6.7 above” – please update to the correct
reference.
- Please double check the Section references in Section 5.10.
- Section 6.1 refers to Section 8.10, which does not exist.
- There seems to be an inconsistency between Section 7.4 and 2.24; we would
ask that2.24 be updated to require notice through both email and the
Console, as noted in Section 7.4.
- Section 7.6 has retained one reference to the Cayman Islands.  We think
that is an error and should be updated to Florida, but please confirm.

Please let me know if you would like to discuss any of these points
further, the RRA Review Team would be happy to schedule a time to talk
through any questions or concerns you might have.

Best,
Catherine
