Subject: [ga] Touton's view on Transfers?

Please review #4 it is at the crux of our current problems with
transfers.

I would also ask anyone that has had an ISP wrongfully transfer a
name that you owned, to tell us of such episode.

 http://www.icann.org/correspondence/touton-to-russo-27aug01.htm

From the language of the policy, it seems apparent that:

         1. The responsibility for ensuring that a Registered Name
Holder authorizes the transfer lies with the gaining registrar, not the
losing registrar.

         2. This allocation of responsibility should not prevent the
losing registrar, as an additional measure, from seeking to inform
Registered Name Holders of impending transfers and affording them an
opportunity to express their objection.

         3. The allocation of responsibility does indicate, however,
that the losing registrar may not deny a transfer request that the
gaining registrar has verified merely because the losing registrar has
not verified it. Thus, a losing registrar should not deny a transfer
request simply because it has notified the Registered Name Holder of the
request and has not received a response.

         4. The losing registrar may, however, deny the transfer request
where it has an adequate reason for believing that the Registered Name
Holder has not authorized the transfer. In some instances, the failure
of the Registered Name Holder to respond to a notification may form one
element of the reason. Because the policy allocates the verification
responsibilty to the gaining registrar, however, the lack of such a
response is not by itself an adequate reason to deny the transfer.
Additional elements of an adequate reason may include information
relating to the Registered Name Holder (such as prior communications) or
the authorization practices followed by the gaining registrar.

Now why can't ICANN and the GA market itself like this, no matter
how strictly commercial the endeavor is you can at least try and make it
look honorable.

Subject: [ga] List Monitors/discipline

I like the following definitions of discipline.  I had what I use
it for; doing something when it is difficult.  As in exercising
self control.  It goes both ways when referring to censorship.

1 : PUNISHMENT
2 obsolete : INSTRUCTION
3: a field of study
4 : training that corrects, molds, or perfects the mental faculties or
     moral character
5 a : control gained by enforcing obedience or order b : orderly or
 prescribed conduct or pattern of behavior c : SELF-CONTROL
6 : a rule or system of rules governing conduct or activity

Certainly we cannot have rules that are applied differently to
different classes.  That is the direct opposite of discipline.

If we do not get some answers and participation by the nominees prior to
the nominating cutoff I will be very disappointed and Nominate myself. 
Then we will test WXWs theory.
And certainly test the mettle of the GA to either sit with the good old
boys or move on to a new era.

Eric

Subject: Re: [ga] Good Marketing

Eric and all assembly members,

  If you will notice, most of the member companies, are just that, member
companies, not members of constituencies as in the ICANN Model.
You will also notice that these member companies are NOT strong
or in any way supporters of ICANN.  Some of the member companies
of this organization are even strong opponents of ICANN publicly.

  Given these and many other reasons it is not too difficult to
conclude why ICANN cannot, does not, or perhaps will not
ever achieve the marketability that projectliberyt.org amongst
a host of other similar organization has and will continue to
achieve.

  The competition for both attention and market share of donations
or public and commercial interest is intense as has been shown recently
sense Sept. 11, with the Red Cross debacle.  In that backdrop along
with the now long standing and growing lack of trust that the previous
and present ICANN BOD and staff has engendered in word and deed,
looking honorable now for ICANN is a steep up hill trek that thus far
has not been seriously attempted by that same ICANN BOD and staff...

Subject: Re: [ga] List Monitors/discipline

Eric and all assembly members,

  Censorship as it applies to discipline, specifically SELF discipline
is much different than Selective Censorship which WXW was
concerned about in his earlier post regarding Monitors for the
DNSO GA, and has been a chronic problem with the DNSO GA
or some factions within.

  The current illegitimate "Rules" were and are illegitimate because
they were not voted upon by legitimately by the than DNSO GA
members.  Of course some would call this a "Legalism" or
now claim that such is outlined specifically within the DNSO
GA voting process.  However, and none the less, those rules
at that time were voted upon using Joops "Voting Booth" in
which several DNSO GA members did indeed openly admit
that they voted more than once, and a few did so several times
on the than two set of "Rules" than proposed.  Hence the
illegitimacy of the current "Rules" for the DNSO GA ML.

  This problem has been central, alone with some of Eric's comments
below, although those comments below are juxtaposed as to the
Censorship/Selective Censorship issue in discourse within the
DNSO GA.  Given this overview that is laboriously documented
in the DNSO GA archives, it is small wonder that the Monitors
are reluctant to speak in amy fashion in this regard, irrespective
of it's obvious importance to this assembly.

  In conclusion I would propose that after the election of a new
Chair, that the newly elected chair will put forth a basic outline/list
of DNSO GA Rules in the form of a motion to the DNSO GA members
to review and propose amendments or modification to in order to
provide for both a process and work product (Final Motion) that
the membership can than vote upon with a limited time frame for debate
and amendments/modifiction(s).

  I would further propose the the following key elements would seem to
be central to coming up with a legitimate set of DNSO GA ML Rules:

1.) Censorship and Selective Censorship - Are these appropriate in any form?

     Where and when are they appropriate, if so?  How and under
     what conditions should, if at all, can they be applied. Are their
     potential legal complications a to the White Paper/MoU or
     other USG legal mandate?

2.) Member banning from posting - Should this ever be done?  If so,
     under what conditions should such banning be done?  (also
     see above #1. for other considerations).

3.) Monitors - What is their role, their responsibility, tools to manage
     their assigned responsibilities, term of service, how many, and
     are they all elected at the same time?

4.) Sanctions- Type of sanctions for errant member behavior on the
     DNSO GA ML?  Using ML software to help provide for certain
     types of sanctions and what are they?  Level of infractions that
     would invoke different levels of sanctions for errant Member ML
     behavior, how many, how long, what kind, how invoked, and
    ability to appeal?

							<!-- Paragraph begin -->
							<span class="newsContent">By Elinor Mills Abreu</span>
							<P>
							<!-- Paragraph end -->
						
							<!-- Paragraph begin -->
							<span class="newsContent">MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (Reuters) - They direct you to every  Web address you type in your browser. They secure nearly every  item you buy online. Soon they'll be routing your telephone  calls as well. And you probably don't even know who "they" are.</span>
							<P>
							<!-- Paragraph end -->
						
							<!-- Paragraph begin -->
							<span class="newsContent">VeriSign Inc. <a href="/quote.jhtml?ticker=VRSN.O">VRSN.O</a> -- the provider of Internet address  and security services -- is hoping to step out from behind the  curtain in 2002 with an advertising campaign modeled after the  "Intel Inside" marketing of the early 1990s.</span>
							<P>
							<!-- Paragraph end -->
						
							<!-- Paragraph begin -->
							<span class="newsContent">Like Intel Corp. <a href="/quote.jhtml?ticker=INTC.O">INTC.O</a>, VeriSign's branding suffers from  its lack of a clear consumer product. Unlike the chip giant,  VeriSign has confused the marketplace by acquiring companies  that do different things, including provide obscure services.</span>
							<P>
							<!-- Paragraph end -->
						
							<!-- Paragraph begin -->
							<span class="newsContent">"We had a Robert Bly-esque time in the woods, beating on  drums, trying to come up with a message of who we are," a  VeriSign spokesman said recently, referring to the American  poet who argued that modern men suffer from being disconnected  to their mythic roots.</span>
							<P>
							<!-- Paragraph end -->
						
							<!-- Paragraph begin -->
							<span class="newsContent">The company came up with a mantra -- digital trust  services. -- but now has its work cut out to make their message  carry. One spokesman admits, for example, that his own mother  has confused the company he works for with Verizon  Communications <a href="/quote.jhtml?ticker=VZ.N">VZ.N</a>. Verisign will commit substantial amounts  to its identity-boosting campaign -- one published report put  its ad budget at $80 million -- using network television and  major print publications to get the word out.</span>
							<P>
							<!-- Paragraph end -->
						
							<!-- Paragraph begin -->
							<span class="newsContent">MARKET LEADER IN SECURE TRANSACTIONS, DOMAINS</span>
							<P>
							<!-- Paragraph end -->
						
							<!-- Paragraph begin -->
							<span class="newsContent">It has the resources to do it, with $1 billion in cash at  its disposal. An 800-pound gorilla in its own right, it's  valued at nearly $10 billion.</span>
							<P>
							<!-- Paragraph end -->
						
							<!-- Paragraph begin -->
							<span class="newsContent">The company pioneered public-key infrastructure (PKI)  services in 1995. PKI, even if hard to understand, is vital to  e-commerce. It enables companies to identify parties in an  online communication using digital certificates and to encrypt,  or scramble, messages so they are read only by the intended  recipients.</span>
							<P>
							<!-- Paragraph end -->
						
							<!-- Paragraph begin -->
							<span class="newsContent">The company then acquired Signio Corp. and now offers  online payment services. Its acquisition of Network Solutions  Inc. (NSI) last year, however, wasn't as obvious a choice.</span>
							<P>
							<!-- Paragraph end -->
						
							<!-- Paragraph begin -->
							<span class="newsContent">Since 1993, NSI has had what many in the industry argue is  a monopoly on the domain name registry market, thanks to a  cooperative agreement with the U.S. government.</span>
							<P>
							<!-- Paragraph end -->
						
							<!-- Paragraph begin -->
							<span class="newsContent">As registry for all .com, .net and .org domain names and  operator of the domain name system, NSI gets $6 a year for  every Web address purchased. VeriSign is expected to retain the  .com contract after it expires in 2007 and to bid for the .net  contract in 2005.</span>
							<P>
							<!-- Paragraph end -->
						
							<!-- Paragraph begin -->
							<span class="newsContent">VeriSign also makes money as one of the many registrars,  reselling domain names to customers. It also has 46 affiliates  in other countries that pay royalties.</span>
							<P>
							<!-- Paragraph end -->
						
							<!-- Paragraph begin -->
							<span class="newsContent">The company offers one-stop shopping, from buying a domain  name to creating a Web site and enabling e-commerce.</span>
							<P>
							<!-- Paragraph end -->
						
							<!-- Paragraph begin -->
							<span class="newsContent">UTILITY FOR MERGED DATA, VOICE WORLDS</span>
							<P>
							<!-- Paragraph end -->
						
							<!-- Paragraph begin -->
							<span class="newsContent">Even as he was in talks with NSI, VeriSign Chief Executive  Stratton Sclavos had his sights set on a bigger market --  telephony.</span>
							<P>
							<!-- Paragraph end -->
						
							<!-- Paragraph begin -->
							<span class="newsContent">Last week, the company completed its $1.2 billion  acquisition of Illuminet Holdings Inc. <a href="/quote.jhtml?ticker=ILUM.O">ILUM.O</a>, whose  independent carrier-to-carrier switching network routes  land-line and wireless calls and enables carriers to offer  caller ID, roaming and other services.</span>
							<P>
							<!-- Paragraph end -->
						
							<!-- Paragraph begin -->
							<span class="newsContent">Sclavos' plan is to create a global directory based on the  domain name database, which looks up about 5 billion Web  addresses a day, to find phone numbers and Web addresses, as  well as offer location-based services for people, regardless of  whether they are on their telephone, handheld or PC. The  closest analogy would be a utility.</span>
							<P>
							<!-- Paragraph end -->
						
							<!-- Paragraph begin -->
							<span class="newsContent">"Our ultimate goal is to be so ubiquitous in the services  we deliver that we get taken for granted," Sclavos told Reuters  in an interview at his office in Mountain View, California.</span>
							<P>
							<!-- Paragraph end -->
						
							<!-- Paragraph begin -->
							<span class="newsContent">"I say that somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but we want to  provide the services basically every communication and every  commerce transaction uses more or less 24 hours a day, seven  days a week," he said.</span>
							<P>
							<!-- Paragraph end -->
						
							<!-- Paragraph begin -->
							<span class="newsContent">NEAR-TERM CHALLENGES</span>
							<P>
							<!-- Paragraph end -->
						
							<!-- Paragraph begin -->
							<span class="newsContent">The company's stock is one of the few that's managed to  avoid the Internet collapse, still trading at nearly $40 -- but  it's well below it's year's high of almost $100 and its fallen  20 percent since its third-quarter earnings report. Analysts  pointed to slowdowns in both domain name renewals and deferred  revenue growth as concerns.</span>
							<P>
							<!-- Paragraph end -->
						
							<!-- Paragraph begin -->
							<span class="newsContent">While the domain name database did shrink, that was mostly  due to the last gasps of the speculative dot-com bubble and a  purge of free, promotional domain names, said Chief Financial  Officer Dana Evan. That leaves reliable, paying customers who  have proven that they will buy more services, she said.</span>
							<P>
							<!-- Paragraph end -->
						
							<!-- Paragraph begin -->
							<span class="newsContent">Meanwhile, the events of Sept. 11 and delays in the launch  of the new .biz and .info domains also slowed deferred revenue  growth, but recurring revenues, which represent about 80  percent of the total, compensate for that, said Evan.</span>
							<P>
							<!-- Paragraph end -->
						
							<!-- Paragraph begin -->
							<span class="newsContent">While many companies have taken financial hits because of  cuts in corporate spending, VeriSign's subscription-based  business model has enabled it to expand operating margins and  predict up to 40 percent revenue growth next year. It's sales  this year are approaching $1 billion already.</span>
							<P>
							<!-- Paragraph end -->
						
							<!-- Paragraph begin -->
							<span class="newsContent">In general, analysts foresee bright long-term prospects,  even a "juggernaut," if VeriSign can execute on its plan, said  Stephen Sigmond of RBC Capital Markets.</span>
							<P>
							<!-- Paragraph end -->
						
							<!-- Paragraph begin -->
							<span class="newsContent">"The big challenge is correcting this perception some  people have that they're just a domain name company, and  clarifying the message," he added.</span>
							<P>
							<!-- Paragraph end -->
						
							<!-- Paragraph begin -->
							<span class="newsContent">Sclavos is confidently aiming high, with the goal of being  one of the top five technology companies in the world within  the next 10 years.</span>
							<P>
							<!-- Paragraph end -->
						
							<!-- Paragraph begin -->
							<span class="newsContent">"We want to be known in the same breath as Oracle (Corp.)  <a href="/quote.jhtml?ticker=ORCL.O">ORCL.O</a>, Cisco (Systems Inc.) <a href="/quote.jhtml?ticker=CSCO.O">CSCO.O</a>, Microsoft (Corp.)  <a href="/quote.jhtml?ticker=MSFT.O">MSFT.O</a> and Intel," he said.</span>
