2000-03-10 - ccTLD ADMINISTRATION AND DELEGATION POLICIES
Board resolves that the President and Staff are to work with interested parties to draft language for the rights and responsibilities of the various parties in ccTLD agreements.
- Work with the ccTLD organizations, Governmental Advisory Committee, and other interested parties to prepare draft language for contracts, policy statements, and/or communications embodying these relationships.
- Responsible entity: ICANN President and staff
- Due date: None provided
- Completion date: 5 July 2000
Whereas, the Board has received a number of serious and carefully crafted recommendations relating to ccTLD administration and delegation policies, best practices, and contractual elements, including recommendations from the Governmental Advisory Committee, ccTLD managers, and others;
Whereas, the elements of these recommendations provide a sound basis for constructive dialogue and the finalization of stable and appropriate relationships;
RESOLVED [00.13] that the President and staff are authorized to work with the ccTLD managers, Governmental Advisory Committee, and other interested parties to prepare draft language for contracts, policy statements, and/or communications, including appropriate funding arrangements, to be presented to the Board and posted for public comment as soon as practicable.
- ICANN staff determined that it was premature to set forth a "final" agreement. ICANN staff prepared and presented a draft of a "status quo" agreement between ICANN and ccTLDs for comment as recorded in the 05 July 2000 ICANN Yokohama Meeting agenda, available at: http://www.icann.org/en/meetings/yokohama/cctld-topic.htm
- The discussion draft of the ccTLD Manager-ICANN "Status Quo" agreement was posted on 05 July 2000, available at: http://www.icann.org/en/meetings/yokohama/draft-cctld-status-quo-agreement-05jul00.htm
- It was later resolved that delegation of additional ccTLDs would only be established upon Board approval of stable and appropriate agreements between ICANN and the ccTLDs as recorded in the 25 September 2000 Resolution 00.75, available at: http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/minutes-25sep00.htm.
- All ccTLD Agreements are available at http://www.icann.org/en/cctlds/agreements.html.
- The resolution does not address funding for the items identified herein.
