Hi all,

As your NCUC rep to the PIR advisory council, I'll be attending a face
to face council meeting this weekend. To anyone who has
concerns/thoughts about PIR practices, positions or policy proposals, or
ideas for PIR that you'd like me to convey, I can bring them up at the
meeting if you can send them to me by Wednesday night.

Best,

Frannie

Subject: [NCUC-DISCUSS] PIR

FYI:  I received the following message this morning
from David Maher.

Danny:
As I mentioned in my earlier message, PIR believes it
would be helpful to the Internet community to see an
interim report on PIR's operation of the .ORG registry
since the beginning of the contract 
term on Jan. 1, 2003. Five documents are now posted
at:  http://www.pir.org/Publications/Reports.aspx

Best regards,
David

Note from Danny:

David is responding to an earlier message in which I
noted that Section 5.2. of the current .org contract
"Procedure for Subsequent Agreement" calls for a
"Renewal Proposal" to be submitted that would detail
the registry operator's operation of the TLD and
include a description of any additional registry
services, proposed improvements, etc.  That renewal
proposal had not been submitted in tandem with PIR's
renegotiated contract language.

It would behoove our constituency to (1) review these
documents and (2) to ask PIR whether these documents
constitute its response to community comments on the
proposed new contract language (per the 25 September
2006 ICANN Board meeting, a requested response to
community comments from PIR, Affilias, and NeuStar was
due 10 October 2006 at 2PM PST).
