13

Dan Halloran: Technical details still need to be resolved

14

Dan Halloran: Convene a technical steering group (including knowledgeable registry and registrar personnel)

15

Jeff Neuman/gTLR registries: Support ICANN proposal

16

Jeff Neuman/gTLR registries: Safety net is an excellent proposal. 30 days seem reasonable.

17

Jeff Neuman/gTLR registries: Support notion that registrants should be able to choose their registrar.

18

Jeff Neuman/gTLR registries: Not sure how to prove that registrants are who they say they are

19

Jeff Neuman/gTLR registries: Committee should also contain people acquainted with business practices

 

<asvensson>

Dan Halloran: Registrars can implement registrar-hold if they want.

<asvensson>

Bruce Tonkin/Registrars: Commend ICANN staff for succinct and clear position.

<tlr>

The log is now up and running at http://does-not-exist.org/icann-log.html.

<asvensson>

Bruce Tonkin/Registrars: Popular names go within milliseconds. People that inadvertantly lose their name, lose it quickly indeed.

<GaryOsbourne>

I've pointed to weblog on icannwatch: http://www.icannwatch.org/article.php?sid=603

<asvensson>

Amadeu Abril i Abril: Congratulate. Safety net goes in the right direction. Would still advocate to work in a consensus policy to provide a registrAR-hold

<asvensson>

Vint Cerf: Next topic. .info Country Names Discussion Group.

<asvensson>

Vint Cerf: [presentation]

<asvensson>

Vint Cerf: [.info country names] September 2001: Action to preserve status quo, reservation of 329 names based on algorithm.

<asvensson>

Vint Cerf: [.info country names] President prepare action plan to analyze related issues.

<asvensson>

Vint Cerf: [.info country names] DNSO Names Council Resolution 11 October 2001

<asvensson>

Vint Cerf: [.info country names] NC: Understands GAC concerns, need to view GAC recommendation with caution.

<asvensson>

Vint Cerf: [.info country names] GAC response to NC: Noted concerns, noted major GAC effort to limit reservations (ISO 3166-1)

<asvensson>

Vint Cerf: [.info country names] ICNG recommends reservation, invites GAC to investigate the level of interest in a special TLD.

<asvensson>

Vint Cerf: [.info country names] Asks GAC how long restrictions should stay (if domain not used)

<asvensson>

Nigel Roberts/Channel Islands: ISO 3166-1 is not a definite list of countries.

<asvensson>

Nigel Roberts/Channel Islands: Channel Islands have numeric code, no ISO 3166-1 code.

<asvensson>

Nigel Roberts/Channel Islands: .info names don't include Channel Islands.

<asvensson>

Nigel Roberts/Channel Islands: Channel Islands not colony of England -- other way around.

<asvensson>

Nigel Roberts/Channel Islands: One of the islands' names registered under Sunrise.

<asvensson>

Nigel Roberts/Channel Islands: Urge when considering countries and territories, not only consider ISO 3166-1 list.

<asvensson>

Nigel Roberts/Channel Islands: There is a government gTLD. It's called .gov

<asvensson>

Vint Cerf: Use of ISO 3166-1 to avoid deciding what countries are countries.

<asvensson>

Raul Echeberria: Are there plans to make available not only country names in ISO list, but also regional blocks like European Union and Mercosur?

<tlr>

Warning: The log will pause for a short moment now.

bye

<asvensson>

Vint Cerf: GAC recommendation tried to limit itself.

<asvensson>

Raul Echeberria: But translations not contained (in EU case).

<asvensson>

Rob Blokzijl: Fully agree. Case of European Union is not the most beautiful thing we did. Does not follow algorithm at all. But should go on.
