<div dir="ltr">ICANN and PIR,<div><br></div><div>The Registrar Stakeholder Group has reviewed the proposed changes to the PIR RRAs and has two questions that may require follow up from PIR.</div><div><br></div><div>1. Members had concerns about the obligation contained in Section 3.2.3 of the revised RRA that "Registrar shall have processes in place to appropriately address reports of abusive activities as defined by ICANN" specifically because registrars are already required to do this under our agreements with ICANN. We would appreciate a brief explanation from PIR as to why registrars need to be separately obligated to PIR to comply with the terms of the RAA.</div><div>2. We also think there may be a typo in section 3.6.7. of the revised RRA. Specifically, there is no comma between "phishing" and "piracy." If that is not a typo, we'd like to better understand exactly what "phishing piracy" would be. If it is a typo, we just ask that you fix it by adding a comma between the two words. I don't believe we need to see an additional redline of this change, just confirmation that it will be changed in the final version.</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>Catherine</div><div><div><div dir="ltr" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><table style="padding:0px;margin:10px 0px;border:none"><tbody><tr><td style="vertical-align:middle;padding:0px 7px 0px 0px"><b style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:"Times New Roman";font-size:16px"><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Arial">Catherine Merdinger </span></b><b style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:"Times New Roman";font-size:16px"><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(61,133,198)">| </span></b><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-size:9pt;font-family:Arial">Corporate Counsel </span><b style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:"Times New Roman";font-size:16px"><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(61,133,198)">| </span></b><b style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:"Times New Roman";font-size:16px"><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Arial"></span></b><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(61,133,198)">Donuts</span><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-size:9pt;font-family:Arial"> </span><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(102,102,102)">Inc.</span><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(61,133,198)"> <b>|</b> </span><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-size:9pt;font-family:Arial">+1.319.541.9416 </span><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman";font-size:16px"><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Arial"><b style="color:rgb(61,133,198)">| </b><font color="#000000">she/her</font></span></span><br></td><td style="vertical-align:middle;padding:0px 7px 0px 0px;text-align:left">

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello Ashley,<br>
<br>
Attached, please find the cover letter and the red-lined RRA Amendment for the following TLDs submitted by
<b>Public Interest Registry</b> to be shared with your Stakeholder Group: <u></u><u></u></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">
.ngo, <u></u><u></u></li><li class="MsoNormal">
.ong, <u></u><u></u></li><li class="MsoNormal">

xn--nqv7f <u></u><u></u></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please note that in the cover letter and the proposed amendment there is reference to 4 TLDs (.gives, .giving, .charity, .foundation) for which Public Interest Registry is not the registry operator. This RRA Amendment review does not apply
to such TLDs. A future RRA Amendment request will be submitted for each of those TLDs if and when Public Interest Registry becomes the registry operator for those TLDs.<br>
<br>
We are requesting a response by <u>23:59 UTC on Tuesday, 15 March 2022</u> to let us know if your Stakeholder Group has concerns, does not have concerns, or if additional review time is required. If the Stakeholder Group has concerns, ICANN org will continue
with the next step of the RRA Amendment Procedure, which is to consult with the RrSG and the Registry Operator to attempt to resolve any such concerns.<br>

Warm Regards,<br>
