[registrars] Staff Managers Report on Registry Services
http://www.icann.org/gnso/issue-reports/registry-svcs-report-19nov03.htm ICANN Staff has released "Staff Manager's Issue Report on the Need for a Predictable Procedure for Changes in the Operation of TLD Registries" the most important paragraph is excerpted below. There are a few gems in this document (ie - "There is an inherent monopoly power in the operation of any TLD registry.") that aren't reproduced below, so it is worth a complete read-through: -- Recommendations to the GNSO PDP Should be Initiated In view of the analysis above it is the recommendation of the Staff Manager that the GNSO initiate a PDP to develop a policy to guide the establishment of a predictable procedure for ICANN’s consideration of proposals by registry operators and sponsors for changes in the architecture or operation of a gTLD registry. This formulation of the issue to be addressed in the PDP is based upon the 16 October 2003 decision of the GNSO Council that the topic of the PDP should be “the need for a predictable procedure for introduction of new Registry Services (as defined in the gTLD registry agreements).” It is adjusted to reflect the reality that proposed changes may include but are not limited to things that could be called “services” or “products,” and that any proposed changes that could have the effects described should be subject to an appropriate consideration process. -- -rwr
