Prior to the consideration of approval of the recommendation regarding the standardizing and clarifying WHOIS status messages regarding Registrar Lock status, the GNSO Council requests ICANN staff to provide a proposal designed to ensure a technically feasible approach can be developed to meet this recommendation.Staff should take into account the deliberations in relation to this issue (see IRTP Part B Final Report). (IRTP Part B Recommendation #8) The goal of these changes is to clarify why the Lock has been applied and how it can be changed. Upon review of the proposed plan, the GNSO Council will consider whether to approve the recommendation.
RESOLVED (F),(At least 25% of the members of the Council of each House or a majority of one House)
the GNSO Council requests an Issues Report on the requirement of ‘thick' WHOIS for all incumbent gTLDs. Such an Issue Report and possible subsequent Policy Development Process should not only consider a possible requirement of 'thick' WHOIS for all incumbent gTLDs in the context of IRTP, but should also consider any other positive and/or negative effects that are likely to occur outside of IRTP that would need to be taken into account when deciding whether a requirement of 'thick' WHOIS for all incumbent gTLDs would be desirable or not. (IRTP Part B Recommendation #3)
RESOLVED (G), (At least 25% of the members of the Council of each House or a majority of one House)
the GNSO Council requests an Issue Report on IRTP Part C, which should include:
...
- Whether provisions on time-limiting FOAs should be implemented to avoid fraudulent transfers out. For example, if a Gaining Registrar sends and receives an FOA back from a transfer contact, but the name is locked, the registrar may hold the FOA pending adjustment to the domain name status, during which time the registrant or other registration information may have changed.- Whether requirements should be in place for Registrars of Record to send an FOA to the Registrant or Admin Contact. [Is this issue addressed by IRTP Part B Recommendation #5?]
- Whether the process could be streamlined by a requirement that registries use IANA IDs for registrars rather than proprietary IDs.
