<div class="WordSection1">
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Dear Catherine and the RrSG Review Team: </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">First, thank you for the time you took to review the proposed revisions to PIR’s RRA. We appreciate your consideration and the questions you provided. We respond to the questions below. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">(1) At the outset, please note this provision is not intended to substitute PIR for ICANN compliance; we fully recognize that we are not a party to the Registrar Accreditation Agreement and are not seeking to enforce
that agreement. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Our intent with this provision is to have a contractual tool available to help PIR address the infamous and proverbial “Bad Actors not at the Table” on DNS Abuse. PIR has observed a few registrars (to our knowledge,
none of which participate in the RrSG) that appear to believe they do not have any meaningful obligation on DNS Abuse mitigation even in the clearest “slam-dunk” instances of malicious registrations for phishing or malware. When we refer these slam-dunk instances
of DNS Abuse to these registrars for reasonable response, we either do not receive a response at all or are told to address the abuse ourselves. This approach causes several problems: </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color:black;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2;vertical-align:baseline">
It puts the responsible actors in the RrSG at a competitive disadvantage because they bear the cost and burden of having processes, systems, and personnel in place to reasonably respond to DNS Abuse where these actors do not;<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:black;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2;vertical-align:baseline">
It increases the time the maliciously registered domains are live and the harm caused by clear instances of DNS Abuse; and<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:black;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2;vertical-align:baseline">
It harms the overall trust and reputation of .ORG and the other TLDs for which PIR serves as Registry Operator. <o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">PIR takes DNS Abuse seriously. Without this provision (or something of the same force and effect), PIR has to rely on ICANN-compliance managed processes to investigate and respond to instances of these registrars
failing to implement even minimal abuse processes. We don’t believe that situation is in the best interest of responsible registrars, PIR, registrants, or end-users of the TLDs for which PIR is the steward. With respect to the Registrars that participate in
the RrSG, we do not believe we will ever have to act on this provision, but having it provides us with a tool to deal with this type of edge case with an isolated registrar that blatantly dismisses its DNS Abuse obligations.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">As you know, similar provisions have been approved for other RRAs, including for Donuts very recently, covering over 240 TLDs. We believe that Donuts’ rationale for its inclusion of a similar provision was the
same as ours. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">(2) We confirm that this was a typo and will insert a comma between “phishing” and “piracy.”</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Again we thank you for your review and hope this explanation was helpful. As noted in our initial cover letter to ICANN transmitting the proposed changes to the RRA, we would appreciate it if the RrSG could conclude
this review process not later than April 8, 2022 to accommodate timelines in the registrar onboarding process.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">All the best, </span><o:p></o:p></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>

<b>Public Interest Registry</b> to be shared with your Stakeholder Group: <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">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>
<br>
Warm Regards,<br>
