Sponsoring Organization's Proposal

 

 

 

Overview

 

In this application, IATA, a not-for-profit association that has played a leading role in the global travel industry since 1919, with members in 143 countries and offices in 75 countries, seeks to launch a new TLD focused on the travel industry which will be known as “.travel”.  This will be a restricted TLD, available only to businesses in a position to meet objective and transparent criteria which establish their legitimacy as reputable providers of travel-related products, services and information.  Thus, members of the Internet community will be able to rely on “.travel” addresses as reliable sites in which to engage in e-commerce transactions.  While travel is already the largest sector of commerce conducted on the web, the introduction of this restricted TLD will promote even further the realization of the efficiencies and convenience of e-commerce for consumers and suppliers alike, in all parts of the world. 

 

IATA is uniquely and ideally positioned to sponsor this initiative.  Its core activities have always included the setting of industry standards to facilitate cooperation among travel industry suppliers, for the benefit of their customers.  In this digital age, it is only logical that IATA exercise its traditional leadership role to enable the travel industry and the customers of that industry to fully exploit the potential of the Internet. 

 

As a not-for-profit organization, IATA will operate the “.travel” TLD on a cost recovery basis.  In line with longstanding tradition and commitments made in regard to other such activities, any surpluses that might result would be dedicated to public interest-based initiatives such as expanding the availability of internet services to travel suppliers and consumers in developing nations in order to “bridge the digital divide,” and increasing travel industry infrastructure and efficiency to make travel more affordable to consumers worldwide. 

 

Significantly for the broader Internet community, this proposal offers the potential to introduce much needed competition in the provision of registry services, which will drive down prices and increase the array of choices to the benefit of users not only of “.travel” but of all TLDs.  The plan to introduce quality controls to validate the businesses which seek “.travel” domain names will serve as a model for future restricted TLDs focused on other sectors of the economy. 

 

For all of these reasons, which are more fully addressed in the remainder of this application, IATA respectfully submits this proposal clearly merits approval by ICANN. 

 

 

I. SPONSORING ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE

 

C1. Please submit a comprehensive description of the structure and nature of the sponsoring organization and the manner in which that organization will conduct its operations, including policy‑formulation activities. We strongly recommend retaining professional legal assistance to aid in the formulation of your Sponsoring Organization's Proposal and accompanying documents.

 

The following documents should be attached to the description:

•                      articles of incorporation, association, etc.;

•                      bylaws or any similar organizational document;

•                      list of persons presently on the supervising Board of the organization (or to be initially on the Board); and their resumes.

•                      To the extent applicable and not clear from the attached documents, the description should address the following topics in detail.

 

IATA lies at the very heart of the world’s largest industry – travel and tourism.  It is a not-for-profit association, whose membership consists of 275 airlines, based in 143 different countries and territories, which together transport in excess of 95 percent of the world’s scheduled international air traffic.  IATA’s membership runs the gamut from the very largest airlines operating thousands of flights each day over worldwide route networks, to relatively small airlines concentrating on service in particular geographic regions of the world.  Attachment C1.A contains a complete list of IATA’s current membership. 

 

IATA’s Head Office is located in Montreal, Canada and has its Executive Office in Geneva, Switzerland.  Additional offices have been established in 75 countries.  IATA’s worldwide network of offices is set forth in Attachment C1.B. 

 

In addition to its airline membership, IATA counts among its customers approximately 90,000 IATA accredited and endorsed travel agents located in 209 countries; the operators of other modes of transportation such as railways and ferry companies; and numerous other suppliers of travel-related services including hotels, travel insurance providers, etc.  Attachment C1.C shows a list of allied and associated organisations that are participants in our Partnership Program. 

 

IATA was originally founded in 1919, when air travel was truly in its infancy. After the Second World War, when the United Nations decided to base ICAO, its specialized agency that deals with air travel, in Montreal, IATA was re-constituted by a Special Act of the Canadian Parliament, which received Royal Assent on December 18, 1945.  Attachment C1.D contains a copy of the Special Act of Parliament establishing IATA. 

 

Attachment C1.E contains the Articles of Association of IATA, which provide further details concerning the governance and management of IATA.  Under IATA’s Articles, the Association is ultimately responsible to its Annual General Meeting, which consists of the Chief Executive Officers of all IATA Member airlines.  Management of the Association is entrusted to a Board of Governors, consisting of the CEOs of thirty-one Member airlines.  Drawn from a mix of large and small airlines from all parts of the world, the current composition of the IATA Board of Governors, together with biographical information on each Member of the Board, is listed in Attachment C1.F.  The IATA governance structure ensures the Association remains responsive to the diverse needs of a dynamic and global industry. 

 

 

C2. Organization Information. Principal location, legal status of the organization, laws under which it is organized, type of organization (for profit, non‑profit, corporation, association, etc.).

 

As set forth in C1, IATA’s Corporate Headquarters is in Montreal, Canada, and its Executive Office is located in Geneva, Switzerland. Other principal regional offices are located in Amman, Jordan; Beijing, China; London, England; Miami, USA; Nairobi, Kenya; and Singapore, with a network of offices in a total of 75 different countries.  IATA is organized as a not-for-profit association under Canadian Federal law (Special Act of Parliament of Canada).  See Attachment C1.D. 

 

 

C3. Organization Structure. Size of organization, number of officers, directors and advisors, roles/duties of directors and officers and other staff, supporting and/or contributing organizations, affiliates, membership.

 

IATA currently employs over 1,700 staff.  Its senior management consists of a Director-General & Chief Executive Officer, and eight (8) Vice Presidents.  These individuals are listed, their resumes, and descriptions of their roles and duties, are provided, in Attachment C3.A.  A complete listing of IATA’s current membership is contained in Attachment C1.A, referenced above.  Exhibit C3.B is IATA’s “GlobalSource” CD-ROM containing a listing of the approximately 90,000 travel agency locations accredited or endorsed by IATA and IATAN (IATA’s wholly-owned US subsidiary) throughout the world. 

 

 

C4. Organization Purpose. Functions and mission of the organization, definition of community to be served (if any), method of ensuring operation in the interest of the stakeholders of the community to be served and the Internet at large.

 

The essence of IATA is to serve as a neutral, trusted, intermediary to develop standards which facilitate cooperation among travel industry enterprises.  Because IATA has developed standardized airline ticket formats which are recognized around the world, it is possible to buy a ticket from a travel agency in Vancouver, Canada, that will be recognized and accepted by a domestic airline in South Africa, for a flight from Johannesburg to Cape Town.  Similarly, the IATA “interline” system makes it possible to purchase a single ticket, with a single payment, covering travel on a succession of different airlines (e.g., United Airlines from Los Angeles to New York; connecting to Virgin Atlantic for the flight from New York to London; and returning from London direct to Los Angeles on British Airways).  Few industries in the world today can offer their customers the flexibility and benefits of this type of cooperation and standardization, all of which is dependent upon the coordination role played by IATA. 

 

IATA has been entrusted by the industry, and by governments around the world, to design and equitably administer the coding systems essential for the smooth and efficient functioning of the travel industry.  It is IATA that assigns airport codes (such as “LAX” for Los Angeles or “SYD” for Sydney); airline designator codes (such as “AA” for American Airlines or “MK” for Air Mauritius); and that assigns tens of thousands of unique codes to identify travel agency locations around the world.  The IATA coding system has been the backbone of communications and information exchange in the travel industry for decades.

 

IATA provides a broad range of products and services to meet the needs of travel industry customers. IATA Industry Settlement Systems is the principal vehicle for processing payments from travel agents to their principals, handling remittances in excess of US$ 130 billion each year.  The IATA Clearing House provides an efficient means for Members, which include not only airlines but other transport entities as well, to offset debits and credits due each other, processing over US$ 32 billion in transactions in 1999.  Numerous IATA publications (which increasingly are available in electronic format as well as traditional “hard copy”) are recognized as the authoritative source for state-of-the-art information in the field of transportation and travel.  These exhibits include:

 

·        Customer Focus Guides: Cargo, Travel and Tourism, Airlines, Airports, Civil Aviation  (Exhibit C4.A)

·        IATA Handbook Part 1, 2, & 3 (Exhibit C4.B)

·        Airline Coding Directory (Exhibit C4.C)

·        IATA City Code Directory (Exhibit C4.D)

·        Multi-Lateral Interline Traffic Agreement (MITA) (Exhibit C4.E)

·        Passenger Services Conferences Resolutions Manual (Exhibit C4.F)

·        Passenger Agency Conference Resolutions Manual (Exhibit C4.G)

·        IATA GlobalSource CD ROM (Exhibit C3.B, the world’s most comprehensive directory of travel agencies). 

 

IATA is also working toward the launch of a digital security service for the travel industry, which will capitalize on IATA’s traditional role as a neutral, trusted intermediary to provide a basis for ensuring authentication, integrity, confidentiality and non-repudiation for electronic transactions conducted over public networks. 

 

Now that our industry, along with the rest of the world, is coming to rely increasingly on the internet to meet its communications and information exchange requirements, IATA has identified a need to create a “.travel” restricted Top Level Domain.  IATA is prepared to devote its unique expertise to sponsor and effectively manage this new TLD, for the benefit of the travel industry and the millions of consumers worldwide served by our industry. 

 

IATA’s interest in offering the Internet community a travel industry-orientated TLD is not of recent vintage.  On July 2, 1997, IATA became a signatory to the Memorandum of Understanding on the Generic Top Level Domain Name Space of the Internet Domain Name System (gTLD-MoU).  Pursuant to that decision, IATA pursued the establishment of a new TLD for the travel industry.  Now that ICANN has announced its intention to authorize new TLD’s, and now that the travel industry has established itself as the largest e-commerce segment of the “.com” world, IATA enthusiastically renews its longstanding interest in achieving the myriad benefits of the proposal to create a TLD for this, the world largest, industry.

 

Over the years, IATA has established criteria and processes, which validate, equitably and efficiently, whether a business constitutes a part of the travel sector of the world’s economy.  Since its inception, IATA has organized on-going “Traffic Conferences” which are forums in which its Members and other partners come together to discuss such matters as industry standards and procedures.  The IATA Traffic Conferences are open to all governments of the world to observe, and proceedings are filed for public comment with relevant governmental agencies, such as the US Department of Transportation.  It is through these Traffic Conferences, which operate on the basis of consensus, that IATA has developed industry standards for such things as the design of universally-recognized passenger tickets and baggage tags, accreditation of travel agencies, and the industry coding systems. 

 

Recognizing the unique needs of the travel industry for cooperation and coherence in such matters, the IATA Traffic Conferences have been granted a public interest-based exemption from the antitrust laws of the United States.  Civil Aeronautics Board Order 68-7-55, July 12, 1968.  Exemptions from the competition laws of the European Union, Australia, and other nations have also been obtained. 

 

In order to do business as an airline, it is imperative to be assigned a two-character airline designator code by IATA.  This coding system, open to both IATA Members and non-members, exists pursuant to a Resolution 762 of the IATA Passenger Services Conference, which is contained in Attachment C4.C.  Without an IATA airline designator code, computer reservations systems would be unable to accept an airline’s schedule, other airlines would find it impossible to participate in the through-ticketing of connecting passengers, and myriad financial, information, and communications systems would be unavailable.  Possession of an IATA designator code is as vital to an airline as possession of a domain name for any business intending to engage in e-commerce. 

 

Because airline designator codes consist of only two characters (usually two letters, but sometimes a letter and a numeral), the supply of codes is limited.  It is IATA that has been entrusted to allocate this scarce resource among both Member and non-member airlines worldwide.  IATA has developed criteria to validate that applicants are indeed legitimate airlines, and has implemented a fee structure which creates an incentive for the surrender for re-allocation of codes no longer in use (e.g., because an airline has merged or gone out of business), and provides a source of funding for projects which benefit the entire travel industry.

 

IATA also is responsible for allocating the three-letter codes which designate the cities and airports of the world (e.g., “JFK” for New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport; “NYC” for New York City; “LHR” for London-Heathrow Airport; and “LON” for London, England).  See Resolution 763 contained in Attachment C4.D.  Whenever controversies arise concerning the allocation of these codes, IATA procedures come into play to obtain the input of all concerned parties, including the relevant governmental authorities.  Based upon that input, IATA strives to build a consensus consistent with pertinent public interest considerations among the affected stakeholders. 

 

Another area of IATA’s responsibilities has been the development of standards for accreditation and endorsement of travel agencies, to ensure these businesses are reputable, financially solvent, and equipped to provide the travelling public with knowledgeable and professional services.  See, for example, Resolution 814, contained in Attachment C4.E.  IATA has processes in place to review and action approximately 90,000 application renewals every year from accredited and endorsed travel agencies around the world.

 

Attainment of the benefits of a restricted TLD will require the equitable and substantive evaluation of domain name requests, to weed-out applications from other than bona fide travel industry constituents, while ensuring the TLD is available for use by its intended constituency.  Because of its expertise in performing precisely this type of function with respect to travel industry systems that have been in existence for decades, IATA is uniquely and ideally suited to carry out this responsibility. 

 

IATA views the community to be served by the “.travel” TLD as the peoples of the world who travel, and the firms which provide services in the travel sector of the global economy.  IATA has several mechanisms already in place for ensuring the “.travel” TLD will be managed in the best interest of the stakeholders of the community to be served. 

 

First, as noted in response to C1, IATA is ultimately accountable to its Annual General Meeting comprised of the Chief Executive Officers of 275 international airlines, drawn from 143 different countries.  Accordingly, IATA is uniquely positioned and indeed mandated to ensure the objectives and aspirations of all parts of the global travel community are given the maximum possible opportunity to flourish. 

 

Second, to provide an effective channel for direct input to IATA regarding management of the “.travel” TLD, IATA proposes to establish a new .travel Advisory Committee, which would include a broad range of representatives of members of the “.travel” stakeholder community, including specifically travel consumer groups, and travel services suppliers. 

 

IATA has a long history of organizing and facilitating entities of this nature to provide a forum for dialogue and action across diverse stakeholder groups on issues of mutual concern.  For example, earlier this year, IATA launched the “Simplifying Passenger Travel Interest Group” which brings together government control authorities (i.e., Immigration and Customs agencies), airports, airlines, and technology providers, to expedite the travel experience for passengers using innovative technological solutions such as biometrics and smart cards.  Attachment C4.A contains further information on the vision and work program of this Group.  Another Interest Group coordinated by IATA, known as “Cargo 2000,” brings together freight forwarders and airlines to focus on automating cargo processing in order to achieve efficiencies and economies for the benefit of cargo shippers.  In the two year period preceding the “Y2K” rollover on January 1, 2000, IATA took the initiative to coordinate an unprecedented effort to assist travel industry enterprises worldwide in assessing their Y2K readiness and to take the necessary measures to achieve compliance.  This project brought together, under leadership of IATA, Member and non-member airlines, airport authorities, air traffic control providers, fuel suppliers, and a myriad of other travel industry-related interests, to work together toward the common and vital objective of avoiding any disruption to services available to the travelling public on the Y2K rollover date. 

 

Yet another instance where IATA has sponsored and coordinated dialogue among diverse stakeholder groups is the “Airline-Consumer Forum,” which has been in existence for the past fifteen (15) years.  The Consumer Forum brings together airline and consumer organization representatives at least twice-yearly to discuss and agree actions on issues of common interest.  The current membership of the Airline Consumer Forum is shown in Attachment C4.B.  Thus, IATA’s commitment and ability to establish a successful and meaningful Advisory Group to provide input in the management of the “.travel” TLD is proven by the years of practical experience gained in coordinating the extensive range of multi-stakeholder groups described above. 

 

Third, IATA already has a fully developed website, www.iata.org, which provides a convenient and virtually cost-free means for members of the travel community, in the broadest sense, to provide their input to IATA.

 

For the reasons detailed in C5 below, approval of this application will benefit the internet at large by offering a competitive alternative to the existing “.com” TLD, focused on the largest economic sector on the web today, the travel industry.  It will significantly alleviate the pressure on the availability of “.com” domain names, and will validate innovative policies targeted against speculation and trafficking in domain names and discouraging the hoarding of domain names on which no distinctive content has been posted, which may be useful to apply to other new gTLDs to be established in the future. 

 

 

C5. Appropriateness of Community. If the organization is intended to serve or represent a particular community, define the community and explain why that definition fits the TLD proposal.

 

Air transport is at the centre of the travel and tourism industry (see Attachment C5.A). Today the sector has an estimated economic impact of some US$ 3,575 billion according to World Travel & Tourism Council estimates and supports about 200 million jobs. Some 657 million tourists travelled to foreign countries in 1999, spending almost US$ 455 billion, according to World Tourism Organization data.

 

There are more than 100,000 travel agency outlets worldwide and air travel accounts for 60% of their total business. The world’s scheduled airlines performed some 1,560 million passenger journeys during 1999, as reported by ICAO. (The actual number of individual passengers is estimated to have been over 500 million.)

 

Detailed data on other sectors of the travel industry are difficult to obtain but, according to the International Hotel & Restaurant Association, there are over 300,000 hotels and 8 million restaurants around the world. It is also estimated that more than 6 million people went on ship cruises during 1999.

 

Of significance for this application has been the rapid growth in the past few years of on-line travel distribution, from basically zero five years ago to about US$ 5 billion in the USA for the year 2000, according to Jupiter Communications. This turnover is expected to more than double during the next three years, with airlines leading the way in the travel industry in terms of the e-commerce share of their total business.

 

Airlines operating in the USA could be doing more than 10% of their business on-line by 2003, up from 6% today, again according to Jupiter Communications. Growth in other regions of the world is expected to be even faster, although from a smaller base.

 

The community to be served by the establishment of the “.travel” TLD will consist of all organizations involved in any aspect of travel. Specifically this will include but not be limited to:

 

Scheduled Airlines

Charter Airlines

Airports

Ferries

Train Operators

Bus and Coach Operators

Ground Handlers

Catering Companies

Car Rental Companies

Hotels and Resorts

Bed and Breakfast Houses

Camp Facility Operators

Tourist Boards/Associations

Tourist Facility Operators

Travel Guide Publishers

Travel Agents

Tour Operators

Consolidators

Internet Service Providers for Travel

Computer Reservation Systems/Global Distribution Systems

 

 

C6. Representation. Manner in which the organization will represent and take input from community to be served, the categories of stakeholder to be included in the organization.

 

As outlined in C4 above, IATA proposes to institute an Advisory Committee modeled on its Airline-Consumer Forum, Interest Groups, and other such multi-stakeholder dialogue and action bodies, to enable representatives of all segments of the “.travel” TLD constituency to provide input directly to IATA.  Meetings of this Advisory Committee will be open to the public, notices, agendas and minutes of meetings will be posted on a website, and the location of meetings will rotate through different parts of the world to afford all members of the “.travel” constituency the maximum opportunity to participate.  In addition, IATA will encourage individuals to provide input via its website.

 

To provide appropriate input to policy decisions IATA also intends to establish an IATA-Registrars Forum. This forum will consist of the management of IATA directly concerned with overseeing the policy in respect of “.travel” TLD together with representatives of all registrars approved to process applications for the domain name.

 

The Forum will:

·        provide an input to the policy development in respect of the TLD

·        establish a formal two way channel of communication between registrars and the sponsoring organization to increase mutual understanding and determine point position on matters of common interest

·        make representation to ICANN, Government regulatory bodies and consumer organizations so as to advance the common interest of the parties and the furtherance of the objective of ICANN to enhance the utility of the DNS.

 

The IATA-Registrars Forum will meet twice a year.

 

The Chairman and Vice-Chairman will be selected by the Forum by common consent and the appointment confirmed by the IATA Director General.  IATA will appoint a senior executive to act as Secretary to the Forum.

 

 

C7. Openness and Transparency. Measures taken to promote openness and transparency, access to information, web site use, public posting of information, meeting minutes, notice and comment provisions.

 

IATA will make full utilization of its website to efficiently, economically, and rapidly promote communications with the “.travel” constituency.  As a start to that process, this application is being posted on the IATA website at www.iata.org, and IATA is encouraging interested persons to provide comments on the application.  As noted in C4 above, IATA will establish an Advisory Committee to provide further input on the management of the “.travel” TLD, and will post advance notice and agendas of the meetings of that Committee, as well as minutes of committee proceedings and other relevant documents, on the publicly-accessible portion of the IATA website.  Comments on agenda items will be accepted via the website from members of the public for consideration by the Advisory Committee.  Meetings of the Advisory Committee will be freely open to the public, and in accordance with longstanding IATA policy and practice, will rotate among the different regions of the globe to promote accessibility to all members of the “.travel” constituency, wherever in the world they may reside.  As noted in C6 above, IATA also intends to set-up an IATA-Registrar Forum to provide additional input to policy making.

 

 

C8. Initial Directors and Staff. The identity and qualifications of the initial directors and staff.

 

The current senior management of IATA is identified, including copies of their resumes, in Attachment C3.A. The Vice President who currently is responsible for, among other things, IATA’s e-commerce initiatives and the IATA website, and whom it is envisaged would be responsible for the “.travel” TLD is Louise Roy, whose resume is included in Attachment C3.A.  Before joining IATA, Ms. Roy served as President & CEO of Telemedia Communications, Inc., and prior to that was President & Director General of the Montreal Urban Community Transit Commission, and a Vice President at Air France.  IATA’s Senior Director Information Technology Services, Karin Gebert, would also play a key role in management of the “.travel” TLD.  Ms. Gebert’s career with IATA has spanned 17 years, and has included a number of promotions to progressively greater levels of responsibility.  Her resume is included in Attachment C8.A.

 

 

C9. Selection of Directors, Officers, Members, Staff, etc. Eligibility, method of selection, term of service, compensation, liability, conflicts of interest, resignation, removal, vacancies.

 

IATA is committed to hiring and promoting on the basis of merit.  It is firmly committed to non-discrimination in its hiring policies, and views its diverse, multi-national and multi-cultural workforce from over 75 nations as one of the organization’s major strengths.  Openings for IATA staff positions are posted on the IATA website, and made known via internal e-mail to existing IATA staff members.  In some cases, vacancies are advertised in newspapers and other media, and the services of employment agencies may be utilized to assist in recruitment efforts.  Most IATA staff positions are permanent appointments, supplemented by fixed-term contract appointments depending on the nature of the specific job requirements and anticipated duration.  Compensation and employee benefits are designed to be competitive, taking into account local market conditions, to enable IATA to recruit and retain the most highly qualified candidates for each position.  IATA is committed to gender parity in its compensation policies.  IATA has in place customary Directors & Officers liability insurance coverage, as well as “Errors and Omissions” liability insurance coverage.  Accordingly, IATA staff, directors, and officers, do not face any personal liability with respect to acts, errors, or omissions committed in good faith in the course of conducting their duties for IATA.  All IATA employees must sign the Business Standards and Ethics Guidelines, a copy of which appears as Attachment C9.A, which obliges them to confirm they are free of all conflicts of interest.  IATA directors, officers, and employees are free to resign their employment with IATA by giving the period of notice specified in their employment agreements, which is generally set in accordance with prevailing local conditions in the country where they are based.  In the infrequent event of termination of a director, officer or employee by IATA, all contractual provisions and local legal requirements in regard to notice, severance packages, etc. are observed. 

 

 

C10. Policy‑Making Procedure. Provide a detailed description of the process for formulating policies for the TLD, including a detailed description of the requirements for adoption of different types of policy.

 

In the first instance, IATA proposes to have detailed discussions with ICANN on the formulation of policies for the TLD.  As indicated in this application, we intend to be as open as possible and consistent with the policies of ICANN for DNS.  Being a restricted TLD, we will establish certain selection criteria to ensure only qualified applicants will be allowed to register in the TLD.  By doing so, as more fully explained in Section E of this application, an innovative and significant value-added service that will be attractive to users of the internet will be provided, and thus, “.travel” will become an attractive alternative and a viable competitor to the “.com” TLD for the largest segment of e-commerce today, the travel industry.  As indicated in C4 above, we intend to establish an Advisory Committee to enable representatives of all segments of the .“travel” TLD constituency to provide input directly to IATA.  Furthermore, as outlined in C6, IATA intends to establish an IATA-Registrar Forum to provide additional input to policy development in respect of the TLD. 

 

All policy proposals in respect of the domain name will be presented to IATA’s Board of Governors for approval in exactly the same way as other policy discussions of the organization are processed.

 

 

C11. Meetings and Communication. Frequency of meetings, location of meetings, provisions for telephone meetings, other methods of communication, generation of minutes for meetings.

 

As indicated previously, IATA will establish an IATA-Registrar Forum and an Advisory Committee, each of which will meet twice per year.   In accordance with longstanding IATA policy, the location of the meetings will rotate through the different parts of the world, to provide equal opportunity for attendance to all members of the global constituency served by the “.travel” TLD.  To the extent useful, IATA envisages that these bodies will make use of teleconference, video-conference, and other such technologies, to enable members who may not be in a position to travel to attend a meeting in person, to nevertheless provide input.  IATA will encourage the use of its website and e-mail to facilitate communications from stakeholders.  Minutes of meetings will be generated by secretariat staff assigned to support these activities, and will be posted on the website, as will notices and agendas for upcoming meetings. 

 

 

C12. Fiscal Information. Initial budget, expenses, existing capital, sources of revenue, accounting, audit, annual report and annual statement.

 

Attachment C12.A, contains the most recent audited financial statements of IATA, including fiscal information, expenses, existing capital, sources of revenue, accounting procedures, audit report, annual report and annual statement.  IATA is not required to, and has never before, made public its financial statements.  Consistent with its commitment to openness and transparency, and in the interest of enabling all who may be interested in commenting on this application to have a complete basis upon which to do so, IATA is not requesting confidential treatment of this information.  As the financial statements show, IATA has an annual budget in excess of US$ 240 million.  While IATA is a not-for-profit entity, it is accustomed to managing activities with sizeable financial implications, and unquestionably has the capabilities and resources to successfully launch and operate the “.travel” TLD.  A pro forma initial budget for the “.travel” sponsored TLD activity is set forth in Attachment C12.B.  The IATA Annual Report is contained in Exhibit 12.A.

 

 

C13. Liability. Liability of the organization, directors, officers, and staff.

 

All liabilities of IATA, its directors, officers, and staff pertinent for purposes of financial reporting and disclosure under generally accepted accounting principles are fully disclosed in IATA’s audited financial statements contained in Attachment C12.A.  IATA does not require reporting of, nor maintain any records of, whether individual directors, officers and staff may have personal liabilities, such as mortgages, etc., which we trust would not be relevant to this application.  IATA maintains third party liability insurance coverage in an amount exceeding US$ 50 million, errors & omissions coverage in the amount of US$ 10 million, as well as fidelity and directors & officers liability coverage.

 

 

C14. Amendment of Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws. Procedures for making amendments to the articles of incorporation, bylaws, and other organizational documents.

 

The Special Act of Parliament of Canada establishing IATA may only be amended by further Act of the Parliament of Canada.  The Articles of Association of IATA may be amended by majority vote at an IATA Annual General Meeting. 

 

 

C15. Reconsideration and Review. Any policy for allowing reconsideration and review of organization policy or implementation decisions.

 

Any party dissatisfied with any policy or decision of IATA may seek review of that decision by the IATA Board of Governors, and if dissatisfied with the disposition of the matter rendered by the Board of Governors, by the IATA Annual General Meeting. 

 

 

 

II. PROPOSED EXTENT OF POLICY‑FORMULATION AUTHORITY

 

[This section is intended to address the extent of the policy authority to be delegated, NOT the specific policies proposed. Specific policies should be described in the Description of Proposed TLD Policies part of the application.]

IATA seeks authority to resolve only those domain name disputes that are submitted to IATA by members' and/or third parties' mutual consent as described in Section E21.  Otherwise, members and/or third parties must submit to domain name dispute resolution under ICANN's UDRP.

 

C16.2. Reasons/justifications for seeking authority;

 

As fully explained  in section E, the essence of this proposal is to launch a new TLD which will offer the internet community the advantage of quality control based on objective and transparent criteria relevant to the conduct of e-commerce.  Registrants which are unwilling or unable to comply with the criteria set for the “.travel” TLD will continue to be free to register and operate websites in unrestricted TLDs such as .com.  Registrants that wish to offer their customers the value-added features inherent in qualification for the “.travel” restricted TLD will register here.  In order to offer the internet community this new and expanded level of choice, it is key that the sponsor of this restricted TLD be delegated authority to implement these policies.

 

C16.3. Method of guaranteeing that your organization will administer the policy in the interest of the Internet at large; and

 

IATA proposes that while it seeks the authority to develop objective and transparent criteria for registration in this TLD, it will work closely with users, registrars, and other stakeholders in this process through the .travel Advisory Board and the IATA-Registrars Forum, previously described in section C4.  Input from these groups will also be used in the continual review and updating of the criteria for granting the “.travel” TLD in the future.  Moreover, IATA intends to add the criteria for registration in the “.travel” TLD to the list of activities of its Board of Governors, which in turn is accountable to the IATA Annual General Meeting composed of the CEOs of 275 airlines from 143 different countries.  In so doing, IATA will ensure that viewpoints from all parts of the globe are duly taken into account in the development and administration of these policies. 

 

C16.4. Whether variation from existing ICANN policies is intended at the opening of the new TLD.

 

No further variations from existing ICANN policies is intended at the opening of the new TLD. 

 

 

 

III. CONTRACT TERMS WITH REGISTRY OPERATOR

 

[Sponsoring organizations are responsible for securing an initial registry operator for the proposed TLD and ensuring that the registry operator completes the Registry Operator's Proposal. Sponsoring organizations should also enter detailed contracts for the provision of registry operation services. These contracts should address all of the required functions as outlined in the Registry Operator's Proposal.]

 

C17. Identification of Registry Operator. Please list the full legal name, principal address, telephone and fax numbers, and e‑mail address of the registry operator:

 

JVTEAM, LLC, 112 Vermont Avenue NW, Suite 550, Washington DC, 0005, USA:

Tel: +1 202 533 2600

Fax: +1 202 533 2975

Email: ken.hansen@neustar.com

 

 

C18. Contract with Registry Operator. Please attach one of the following:

 

C18.1. a copy of your contract with the selected registry operator for provision of registry services;

 

C18.2. proposed terms for a contract (i.e. at least a detailed term sheet) with a registry operator for provision of registry services, proof of commitment from the registry operator for provision of services under those proposed terms, and a notation of the estimated date of entry into the contract; or

 

C18.3. a statement that the sponsoring organization will also serve as the registry operator for the proposed TLD. (In this case, the sponsoring organization must prepare and submit the Registry Operator's Proposal in addition to the Sponsoring Organization's Proposal.)

 

The signed, binding Term Sheet covering the contractual arrangement between IATA and JVTEAM, LLC is attached as Attachment C18.A.  The estimated date of entry into the contract based on this binding Term Sheet is December 1, 2000, subject to finalization of any outstanding issues with ICANN.

 

IATA has engaged in a thorough examination of the options for registry operator services, and engaged in extensive and serious discussions with a number of potential partners.  The outcome of this process was the selection of JVTEAM.  This decision was based on a number of factors including JVTEAM’s financial strength, specific expertise in the operation and management of a significant country code TLD, and expertise as the North American Numbering Plan Administrator (NANPA) and Local Number Portability Administrator (LNPA), all of which assure the necessary financial and managerial resources will be available to bring this “.travel” TLD to fruition once it is authorized by ICANN. 

 

In addition to the benefits of this proposal for the worldwide travel industry and its customers, IATA views this as an opportunity to launch a credible competitor to VeriSign, which is obviously the dominant provider of registry services today.  By creating an alliance between IATA’s proposed TLD based on value-added quality assurance of registrants which the internet consumers of today are demanding, and the financial and technical strengths of JVTEAM as the registry operator, ICANN is presented with a unique opportunity to afford the internet community not only the extensive array of advantages described in this particular proposal, but also the very significant benefit of introducing viable and desperately needed competition into the broader market for the provision of registry operator services. 

 

As indicated above, IATA has been in contact in the course of this process with a number of other existing and prospective registry service providers which are expected to be involved in other proposals to ICANN in this round of applications.  All of the registry operators with which IATA has been in contact have been keen to work with IATA.  IATA’s first choice of registry operator is clearly JVTEAM, as indicated above.  IATA anticipates that in consideration of the material set forth in section D of this application in particular, ICANN will agree JVTEAM has presented superior qualifications on all accounts to serve in this capacity.  Nevertheless, in the event ICANN in its judgment were for any reason to direct IATA to partner with a different registry operator, IATA hereby confirms it would be prepared to do so, assuming mutually agreeable terms with the registry operator recommended by ICANN could be negotiated.

 

 

 

By signing this proposal, the undersigned attests, on behalf of the applicant(s), that the information contained in this application, and all supporting documents included with this application, are true and accurate to the best of applicant's knowledge.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, an airline that does not meet these criteria may be admitted to membership if the Board considers such airline’s membership to be in the interest of IATA.

b. All applications for membership in IATA shall be made in the form provided and submitted together with the application fee to the Corporate Secretary. All applications are subject to the approval of the Board.

c. Membership shall become effective once payment in full of all fees and payment of dues for the current year are received and upon approval by the Board.

d. Any airline whose application for membership is not approved by the Board may appeal the decision to the next Annual General Meeting, the decision of which shall be final.

 

4. Fees and Dues

a. Upon the written request of the Director General, acting on behalf of the Board, a Member shall provide, by the date specified in the request, all data necessary to establish the annual dues payable by the Member. If such data is not provided by the specified date, the Board may prescribe the amount of dues to be paid.

b. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, annual dues shall be payable when invoiced and in the currency or currencies set out in the invoice.

c. Interest on arrears of dues shall accrue and be payable at the rate set by the Board, taking into account prevailing market rates for the relevant currency or currencies, unless due to exceptional circumstances, the Board waives this requirement.

f. When membership in IATA has been terminated all dues outstanding on the effective date of termination are payable.

g. Payments of fees and dues are not refundable under any circumstances.

c. Termination

i. A Member no longer meeting the criteria for membership may have its membership terminated by the Board ninety (90) days after the occurrence of the event giving rise to its ineligibility.

ii. A Member declared bankrupt or placed in receivership, or making a voluntary assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or ceasing to hold the authority to operate, or otherwise ceasing to carry on the business that qualifies it for membership, may have its membership terminated by the Board effective thirty (30) days from the date of occurrence of such event.

iii. Notwithstanding sections 5.c.i and 5.c.ii, the Board may, upon the written request of the Member concerned, postpone the effective date of termination for a fixed period, as appropriate.

a. A Member that has had its membership terminated by the Board and received a notice of termination may, by written notification to the Corporate Secretary within thirty (30) days of receipt of the notice, invoke its right to be heard by the Board. Invocation of this right shall suspend the effective date of the termination, pending the results of the hearing by the Board.

b. A Member whose membership has been terminated by the Board or by a General Meeting may seek arbitration under the IATA Arbitration Rules. Invocation of this procedure shall suspend the effective date of the termination, pending the results of the arbitration.

c. The decision of the arbitration tribunal shall be final and binding. If the decision is in favour of IATA, the termination shall be effective on the date of the decision, and the costs of the arbitration shall be borne by the Member.

During the period of suspension, the Member shall not be required to pay any dues but shall not exercise any rights and privileges of membership.

 

8. Notice of Resignation, Limitation, Suspension or Termination

The Corporate Secretary shall notify all Members in writing of the resignation, limitation, suspension, and lifting of suspension of a Member or its termination of membership.

A vision

 

Passengers, equipped with a multi-functional device, utilizing a biometric ID, provide information in a “one-stop” check process which, together with other information generated from the journey and shared between all involved parties, would facilitate subsequent processing, and allow controls to be effected on a risk assessment basis.

RESOLUTION 762 AIRLINE DESIGNATORS

 

 

 

Attachment C4.C - RESOLUTION 762 AIRLINE DESIGNATORS

PSC(21)762 Expiry: Indefinite

Type: B

RESOLVED that, the following rules shall apply to the assignment and use of airline designators for the entire airline and travel and tourism industry:

For the purposes of this Resolution,

“AIRLINE” means: an enterprise operating aircraft for commercial purposes which (i) performs scheduled or non-scheduled air transport services, or both, which are available to the public for carriage of passengers, mail and/or cargo and (ii) is certified for such purposes by the civil aviation authority of the state in which it is established.

“PUBLISHED SCHEDULE” means: a listing of the timing of air services and other schedule information available to the public in standard air transport industry guides.

1.     USE OF AIRLINE DESIGNATORS

Those companies assigned an airline designator are to use such designator for reservations, schedules, timetables, telecommunications, ticketing, cargo documentation, legal, tariffs and/or other commercial/traffic purposes. Codes for use in baggage handling applications are defined in Resolution 769.

2.     USE OF TWO-CHARACTER AND THREE-LETTER DESIGNATORS

Carriers and CRSs recognise the necessity of processing three-letter airline/CRS designators at some future date. All organisa-tions having an IATA assigned two character designator shall continue to use such designator until such time as ATA and IATA Members agree on a conversion date for the use of three-letter designators by such organisations. All organisations receiving an IATA assigned two-character designator, shall notify IATA of their desired three-letter designator, and subsequently IATA will reserve an available designator.

It is also recognised that IATA will deplete all available two-character designators and that three-letter designators will need to be also processed. Therefore, when IATA exhausts the available supply of two-character designators, airlines/CRSs will be placed on a waiting list for an available two-character designator. Until such time as a two-character designator becomes available, the airline/CRSs will use its assigned three-letter designator for the purposes defined in paragraph 1. When a two-character designator becomes available the airline/CRS will have the option of using the two character-designator or three-letter designator, but not both. If the airline/CRS chooses not to use the two-character designator, it will become available for reassignment. The airline/CRS must decide whether it wishes to use the two-character designator within thirty days of it becoming available.

The Joint ATA Passenger Council/IATA Passenger Services Conference shall annually review the airline industry requirements for airline designators.

3.     USE OF AIRLINE DESIGNATORS BY RAILWAY, FERRY AND BUS COMPANIES

Railway, ferry, and bus companies with requirements for a designator for passenger transportation, for use in reservations, schedules, timetables or, tariff publishing, may be assigned a three-letter designator. Until such time as three-letter designators can be handled by airlines and computer reservations systems, such non airline companies shall also be assigned a duplicated two-character numeric-alpha designator in a controlled environment drawn from designators assigned to non-scheduled passenger or cargo airlines.

4.     ASSIGNMENT CRITERIA FOR

NEW APPLICANTS

4.1 The following new applicants for airline designators shall be assigned a two-character (two-letter, if available, or numeric-alpha, alpha-numeric) designator and a three-letter designator:

4.1.1 ATA and IATA Member Airlines, and airlines which are parties to the ATA Interline Traffic Agreement — Passenger (Resolution 5.65), the IATA Interline Traffic Agreement —Passenger (Resolution 780/780e), or the IATA Interline Traffic Agreement — Cargo (Resolution 660);

4.1.2 non-ATA/non-IATA Member airlines publishing and operating scheduled air service in accordance with the definition of a scheduled air service contained in IATA Recommended Practice 1008 in standard air transport guides. However, if such airline does not intend to conclude an interline traffic agreement within 90 days of assignment, the two-character designator shall be recalled and it shall be assigned a three-letter designator; until such time as three-letter designators can be handled by airlines and Computer Reservation Systems, such airlines shall also be assigned a duplicated airline designator in a controlled environment.

4.1.3 airlines not qualifying under 4.1.1 or 4.1.2, with a requirement for an airline designator to participate in an airline industry shared telecommunication facility shall be assigned a Banded Code for message addressing and a three-letter designator.

4.1.4 a new entrant which does not yet meet the definition of “airline” for purposes of this Resolution may be granted a provisional airline designator code assignment when written notification is received from the civil aviation authority of the state in which it is established advising that the enterprise is substantially meeting the state’s requirements for the issuance of a licence to operate commercial air transport services;

4.1.4.1 such provisional assignment shall be valid for a non renewable period of six (6) months. Failure of the enterprise to meet the definition of “airline” for purposes of this Resolution within six (6) months of provisional assignment of the airline designator code will result in the formal recall of the code. A non-refundable processing charge shall apply to requests for provisional assignments of airline designator codes, in addition to all fees otherwise applicable.

4.2 Non-scheduled passenger or non-scheduled cargo airlines not qualifying under 4.1.1, 4.1.2 or 4.1.3 with a requirement for an airline designator shall be assigned a three-letter designator; until such time as three-letter designators can be handled by airlines and Computer Reservation Systems, such airlines shall also be assigned a duplicated airline designator in a controlled environment.

 

4.3 Non-airline Unit Load Device (ULD) owners who participate in the Interline ULD Control User Group (IULDUG) (two-letter controlled duplication and a three-letter beginning with “X”). Non-airline ULD owners who do not participate in the IULDUG will not be eligible for a unique or controlled duplicate code but shall be assigned a Banded Code and a three-letter code beginning with “X”).

4.4 Computer Reservations Systems (CRS) suppliers with a requirement for participation in airline industry shared telecommunication facilities. Such CRS suppliers shall only be assigned two-character numeric-alpha or alpha-numeric designators using the figure “1” and letters “A–Z”. Such designators can be used in interline reservations messages. They shall not be used for the interline transmission of PTAs nor shall they be used for any other ticketing purpose, (except for the optional identification of the CRS controlling the PNR. This identification should be shown in the “Airline Data/Booking Reference/PNR” box on the ticket). These codes shall not be duplicated.

4.5 The two-character and three-letter airline designators shall be used for the purposes outlined in Paragraph 1, (except where expressly stated otherwise in this Resolution), and in accordance with the instructions issued by IATA. Notwithstanding anything in this Resolution, three-letter designators will not be used by airlines until such time as the Joint ATA Passenger Council/IATA Passenger Services Conference reaffirms the requirement for the use of such three-letter designators.

5.     CONTROLLED DUPLICATION1

5.1 During the interim period, two-character designators may be duplicated in a controlled environment.

5.1.1 The following criteria shall apply to controlled duplicate designators: The same code will not be duplicated if the companies: publish passenger schedules; or publish cargo schedules; or participate in the industry shared telecommunication facilities except under Banding as defined in RP 1008; or at the time of assignment, it is known by IATA that the companies serve the same general geographic area. 5.1.2 In the event that one of the companies with a duplicated designator changes its status, and falls into one of the criteria listed above, the company which had the designator first shall continue to have the use of the code and IATA will change the designators of the other companies which shared the designator.

5.2 If an airline has nominated a pre designated point that airline’s two-character designator will not be duplicated.

6.     DESIGNATORS NOT AVAILABLE FOR ASSIGNMENT

The following combinations shall not be assigned to individual airlines or companies qualifying for airline designator:

6.1 these designators are to be used for communications purposes only:

     Commercial Category                              Designator

6.2 three-letter designators — CAF, COR, DPC, EEE, EXO, HDQ, NAC, NIL, PAN, PDM, QAA, QAB, QFP, QMK, QQQ, QTA, QTB, QTE, RDT, RET, RPT, RQR, RTA, RTC, RTP, RTX, SOS, STP, SVC, UNO, XCR, XHL, XXD, XXH, YXA to YZZ and ZXA to ZZZ, ATX, CAR, CCR, HHL, HTL, OSI, PTA, SSR, SUR, TTO, TUR, YYY;

6.3 three-letter combinations with CZ, NN or ZC;

6.4 an airline’s or CRS’s three-letter designator shall not be the same as the location identifier for that airline’s or CRS’s head office location.

7.     SUBMISSION OF REQUEST

Companies requesting the assignment of a designator or a change to an existing designator shall submit a request (using the application form which is published separately) to the IATA Office, as shown on the application form.

8.     PROCESSING OF REQUEST

Upon receipt of a request for the assignment of an airline designator, the IATA Office will:

8.1 determine the eligibility of the applicant and, if eligible, will assign and authorise the use of an airline designator, coordinating assignments to avoid possible uncontrolled duplications;

8.2 introduce an effective date for the use of the airline designator so assigned by means of a circular letter to ATA/ IATA Members, CRSs and to the Airline Guides;

8.3 publish all assignments in the IATA Airline Coding Directory.

8.4 The order of priority in assigning two-character airline designators is as follows:

8.4.1 an airline which requires a change to its designator because of an operational problem caused by the designator it has been assigned, including conflicts associated with controlled duplicate designators;

8.4.2 an airline which has been assigned a three-letter airline designator and who has been placed on a waiting list for a two-character designator in accordance with Paragraph 2, will be offered a two-character designator according to the date the airline requested to be placed on that waiting list established for this purpose. If the airline refuses to accept the first two-character airline designator which becomes available, that airline will move to the bottom of this waiting list;

8.4.3 an airline which does not currently have an airline designator;

 

8.4.4 an airline which requests a voluntary change to its airline designator. Assignments will be made from a waiting list in order of the date the airline requested to be placed on this list.

9.     CHANGES TO AIRLINE

DESIGNATOR ASSIGNMENTS

9.1 Except as provided in Paragraph 9.2, airline designators shall not be changed without strong justification, including changes made in accordance with Paragraph 2 and with regard to the priority as specified in Paragraph 8.

9.2 Two or more airlines already holding a unique two-character designator, except controlled duplicate designators, may voluntarily exchange such airline designators using IATA as an intermediary. IATA may establish fees for acting as an intermediary. When an airline designator is assigned or changed, IATA will establish its effective date and undertake to co-ordinate this assignment or change with all parties concerned.

9.3 The effective date of any change (except additions and deletions) to current airline designators, except controlled duplicate designators, shall not be less than ninety (90) days following the date on which the change is agreed.

9.4 When making a request for changes, airlines and CRSs shall ensure that such request is sent to the IATA Office shown on the Application form (which is published separately).

10. EXTENSION OF TWO-

CHARACTER DESIGNATOR SYSTEM

To encourage airlines who do not need a unique two character designator for operational reasons to surrender it, or to encourage airlines to move to banding, IATA may assess a fee as part of the annual review process in addition to any assignment or administration fee. This fee shall apply to all non-IATA, non-ATA companies, except to members of the IATA Registered Supplier Programme, IATA Travel Partners Programme and airlines assigned a Banded Code. Failure to complete and return the annual review form and/or pay any airline designator fee shall result in that airline designator being recalled by IATA for reassignment.

11. RECALLING OF AIRLINE DESIGNATORS

11.1 If at any time it is determined by ATA or IATA that an airline or non-airline company no longer qualifies for a designator under the criteria established in paragraph 4 of this Resolution, the designator will be recalled. A company will cease to use the designator upon notification by IATA of the recall of the designator.

11.2 The IATA Secretariat will advise the IATA/ATA Members, CRSs and other interested parties by way of a circular letter and in the regular transmittal of the IATA Airline Coding Directory of any changes in airline designators. Recalled airline designators should not be reassigned for a period of at least sixty (60) days.

11.3 An airline designator is not considered the property of the airline to which it is assigned. Once an airline no longer meets the criteria for the assignment of an airline designator, that designator is recalled. After 60 days from the date of recall, the designator may be reassigned. Should the carrier which has had its designator recalled demonstrate within 60 days of the recall that it does meet the criteria for an airline designator, that designator will be reallocated to it. If the carrier demonstrates that it satisfies the criteria for an airline designator more than 60 days from the date of the recall of its airline designator,

 

it shall be considered a new applicant and IATA will assign an available airline designator. In these circumstances IATA can not guarantee to assign the original airline designator to the applicant.

Attachment C4.D - RESOLUTION 763 LOCATION IDENTIFIERS

PSC(21)763                                  Expiry: Indefinite

Type: B

RESOLVED that:

Members and CRSs shall use the location identifiers published in the IATA Airline Coding Directory. Assigned three-letter location identifiers are considered permanent. They shall not be duplicated. They shall not be changed without strong justification primarily concerning air safety. The following procedures shall apply for the assignment of three-letter location identifiers (city/airport codes) for airlines’ purposes, other than Air Traffic Services1 applications (the following codes are not available for assignment: CPY, DDL, DPC, HDQ, IAT, NIL, NUC, QAA, QAB, QAF, QEN, QES, QQQ, QSP, QTA, QTB, QTQ, QTV, QUK, QXA, QXL, QXM, QXN, QXS, QXT, QXU, QZY, QZW, XXX, ZZW, ZZX, ZZY, ZZZ. The following codes are reserved for use as a fictitious points only in the text of a Schedule Exchange Data Message according to the IATA Standard Schedules Information Manual: QFP, QMX, QMY, QPX, QPY, QZW.

The following codes are reserved as fictitious points for use in Charge Card and Credit Card billings: XAA, XAE, XAF, XAO, XDF, XCA, XOT, XPC, XPE, XTD and XUP.

1.     CRITERIA

1.1 Members and CRSs may only request the assignment of a unique three-letter code to identify one of the following locations:

1.1.1 an airport receiving scheduled air services by a Member airline;

1.1.2 an airport receiving charter air services by a Member airline;

1.1.3 an alternate airport available for use by Member airlines;

1.1.4 an airline headquarters when HDQ or an existing city/ airport code cannot be used;

1.1.5 a location which must be identified for airline communications routing or airline scheduling purposes or airline schedule exchange data messages and for which no existing airport or city code is available.

a location which must be identified for intermodal transportation, served by a railway, ferry or bus company having an intermodal agreement with an airline. For the purposes of this Resolution, intermodal transportation means transportation provided by an airline and one or more other modes of transportation, documented on a single accountable traffic document, with a reservation, and distributed via an airline reservation system and/or CRS. Code assignment requests received from railway, ferry or bus companies will be subject to a charge set by IATA.

1.2 To satisfy the criteria listed under 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3, 1.1.4 and 1.1.5, the following shall apply:

1.2.1 for scheduled service airport location identifiers, consult the current issue of the IATA Airline Coding Directory in order to avoid requesting an identifier which is already in use; 1.2.2 as a first choice, select an unassigned mnemonic using the first three letters of the location name; 1.2.3 as a second choice, select an unassigned mnemonic preferably starting with the first letter of the location name. 1.3 Codes are assigned under 1.1.1, 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 as follows: 1.3.1 if only one airport serves an area, only one code will be assigned to both the airport and the area; 1.3.2 when an area is served by more than one airport, each airport will be assigned an individual code. The area will be assigned a metropolitan area code which may be the code of one of its airports or an individual code; provided that the above criteria is without prejudice to currently existing unique metropolitan area codes as published in the IATA Airline Coding Directory.

1.4 An airport will not be listed in or de-listed from the IATA Airline Coding Directory under a metropolitan area location identifier unless a specific request for such action is submitted to the IATA or ATA Head Office, as appropriate.

1.4.1 If a request requires the creation of a new metropolitan area (from one to two airports), the airport operators of each airport concerned as well as the airlines serving those airports shall be included in the poll, as per 1.5. This provision shall also apply for a request to remove an airport from a metropolitan area comprising only two airports and the consequential dismantling of that metropolitan area.

1.4.2 However, if a request requires the listing/de-listing of an additional airport to/from a metropolitan area (comprising two or more airports), only the airport operator as well as the airlines serving the additional airport shall be included in the poll as per 1.5.

 

1.5 Listing or de-listing of an airport under a metropolitan area location identifier shall only be actioned if it is established by the IATA or ATA Secretariat that:

 

1Air Traffic Services — ICAO Annex 11 definition: a generic term meaning, variously, Flight Information Service, Alerting Service, Air Traffic Advisory Service, Air Traffic Control Service, Area Control Service, Approach Control Service or Aerodrome Control Service

1.5.1 the operator(s) of the airport(s) in question support(s) such action; 1.5.2 the aeronautical authorities of a European Community country do not object to such action. These authorities of an EC country will be notified of any proposed amendment to a metropolitan area listing by the IATA or ATA Secretariat and be asked to advise of any objection to such a proposed listing in writing with justification. If no reply is received within 60 days it will be assumed that the aeronautical authorities do not object to the amendment; 1.5.3 a majority of responses from a poll of carriers operating scheduled air transport services serving the airport(s) concerned support such action. For the purpose of determining which air carriers serve such airport(s), the IATA or ATA Secretariat as appropriate will consult the airport authority(ies) concerned. For the purposes of compiling the list of carriers serving an airport(s), the airport authority(ies) is to include the teletype address of the carriers presently operating scheduled air transport services or which have operated to the airport during the previous 12 month period. For the purposes of conducting a poll, the following criteria shall apply; 1.5.4 the poll will be conducted not more than once per year for a given airport; 1.5.5 the poll will be sent by teletype to:

 

1.5.5.1 the Passenger Services Conference Accredited Representative of IATA Member carriers or the interline contact of Member carriers participating in the MITA but not represented in the Passenger Service Conference, 1.5.5.2 the interline contact for non-IATA carriers which are party to the IATA Multilateral Interline Traffic Agreements,

1.5.5.3 the chief executive (head office teletype address) of any other carrier(s) indicated as concerned by the airport author-ity(ies) concerned;

1.5.6 a majority shall be considered as a simple majority of carriers responding to the poll, with non-responses and abstentions not counting in the poll.

1.5.7 Requests received from non-IATA and non-ATA airlines for listing an airport under a metropolitan area location identifier will be subject to a charge set by IATA.

Note: The criteria set forth in this paragraph shall not apply to listings as they appeared in the IATA Airline Coding Directory prior to 1 December 1987.

2.          ADDITIONAL LOCATIONS OR CHANGES

 

Members and CRSs requiring the assignment of an identifier for an additional location or a change to an existing identifier, shall submit a request (using the pro forma Attachment ‘A’) for an acceptable identifier, to the IATA or ATA Head Office, as appropriate.

3.     PROCESSING OF REQUESTS FOR ADDITIONAL LOCATIONS OR CHANGES

 

Upon receipt from a Member or a CRS of a request for the assignment of an additional location identifier or for a change to an existing identifier, the appropriate Secretariat of the IATA or ATA Head Office will:

3.1 co-ordinate recommended changes or additions to location identifiers with ATA or IATA, as the case may be, to determine availability and to ensure conformity with the criteria shown in 1.2;

3.2 co-ordinate agreement on the proposed identifier from the headquarters of all other Members and CRSs having activities at the location concerned;

3.3 if the recommended location identifier is mutually acceptable, ATA and/or IATA will:

3.3.1 assign the requested scheduled service airports location identifier or an alternate thereto,

3.3.2 assign identifiers in the ‘Q’, ‘X’ and ‘Z’ groups to locations other than scheduled service airports defined under 1.1.5,

3.3.3 establish an introductory date of each new location identifier;

3.4 authorise the identifiers so assigned by means of a circular letter to all Members and CRSs and to the Airline Guides. The introductory date of a new location identifier shall normally be the first day of a month and not less than sixty (60) days from the date of the circular issued by ATA and IATA;

3.5 include such amendments in the next issue of the IATA Airline Coding Directory.

 

4. REQUESTS FROM NON MEMBERS FOR ASSIGNMENT

Upon receipt of a request from a non-Member operating scheduled air services for the assignment of a location identifier, the appropriate Secretariat of the ATA/IATA Head Office shall do so in accordance with the provisions of this Resolution.

5.     EFFECTIVENESS OF CHANGES

At any given time for any location, airlines should use only the one identifier which is effective on the date of travel to/from that location. The first date on which the new location identifier must be used for reservation purposes will be advised by IATA, but never less than sixty (60) days before the actual date of effectiveness of the changed location identifier. When making a recommendation for such changes, Members shall ensure that such notice is sent to the appropriate Secretariat of the IATA or ATA Head Office at least seventy (70) days before such effective date.

6.     CANCELLATION OF CODES

When recommending the cancellation of an existing code, Members and CRSs shall submit the proposal to the IATA or ATA Head Office, as appropriate, giving reasons to substantiate the recommendation. Co-ordinating action shall be taken by IATA or ATA Head Office which shall authorise such cancellation by the same procedure as outlined in Paragraph 3.
