[governance] Re: [Coalition] ICANN Meeting in Mexico

[Danny Younger]

Ginger,

In July 2008 ICANN published a series of proposed amendments to the Registrar Accreditation Agreement -- one of those amendments was a direct response to a concern first raised by the ALAC's Vittorio Bertola, namely that Registrant Rights be clearly detailed in the contract.

The exact text of the amendment follows:

"In the event that ICANN gives reasonable notice to Registrar that ICANN has published a webpage that identifies available registrant rights and responsibilities, and the content of such webpage is developed in consultation with registrars, Registrar shall provide a link to the webpage on any website it may operate for domain name registration
or renewal clearly displayed to its Registered Name Holders at least as clearly as its links to policies or notifications required to be displayed under ICANN Consensus Policies."

Since this amendment was proposed, neither the ALAC nor any of the proponents of this measure have acted to define such rights -- they haven't even started.  If this rights subset hasn't been worked on at all in the last year, I wouldn't hold my breath awaiting this Summit to yield a full exposition of Internet User Rights.
