3. Main Agenda:
a. Registry Services Technical Evaluation Panel (RSTEP) Report on
Public Interest Registry's Request to Implement Technical Bundling in
.NGO and .ONG
Whereas, on 12 March 2014, Public Interest Registry (PIR) submitted a
Registry Services Evaluation Policy (RSEP) request [PDF, 24 KB] to offer
mandatory technical bundling of second level domain names for .NGO and
.ONG under Exhibit-A of each respective Registry Agreement.
Whereas, on 21 May 2014, ICANN staff posted the RSEP request for public
information and conducted its review of the request under the RSEP.
Whereas, on 4 June 2014, ICANN staff's preliminary determination did not
identify any significant competition issues. Separately, ICANN staff
determined that the proposed registry service might raise significant
stability or security issues, and informed [PDF, 320 KB] PIR of the need
to refer the proposal to the Registry Services Technical Evaluation
Panel (RSTEP) for further evaluation.
Whereas, on 6 June 2014, ICANN referred PIR's RSEP request [PDF, 952 KB]
to the RSTEP for further evaluation.
Whereas, on 10 June 2014, ICANN posted PIR's RSEP request for public
comment. The public comment concluded on 30 July 2014 and no public
comments were received.
Whereas, on 29 July 2014, the RSTEP report was posted for public
comment. The public comment period concluded on 13 August 2014 and no
public comments were received.
Whereas, the RSTEP report concluded that from a technical evaluation
perspective, the proposal does not create "a reasonable risk of a
meaningful adverse effect on stability or security" as defined in the
RSEP Policy related to the introduction of the registry service to
support the mandatory technical bundling of second level domain names
for .NGO and .ONG. The RSTEP report and staff also identified several
potential technical and implementation questions associated with
introducing the proposed new registry service to the DNS, including:
implications of unbundling of .NGO and .ONG; potential registrant and/or
end user confusion; equivalency issues being discussed within the
context of IDN variants; and other operational concerns.
Resolved (2014.09.09.05), the Board adopts the findings in the RSTEP
report that PIR's proposal does not create "a reasonable risk of a
meaningful adverse effect on stability or security", and approves PIR's
request related to the introduction of the registry service to support
the mandatory technical bundling of second level domain names for .NGO
and .ONG.
Resolved (2014.09.09.06), the Board authorizes the President and CEO, or
his designee(s), to develop an amendment to implement the new registry
service that takes into account and appropriately addresses the related
outstanding technical and implementation questions.
b. Planning for Future gTLD Application Rounds
No resolution taken.
c. FY15 Operating Plan and Budget
Whereas, the draft FY15 Operating Plan and Budget was posted for public
comment in accordance with the Bylaws on 8 May 2014, which was based
upon community consultations, and consultations throughout ICANN staff
and the Board Finance Committee, during the past fiscal year.
Whereas, intervening activities and comments received from the public
comment forum were taken into account to determine significant revisions
to the 8 May 2014 draft FY15 Operating Plan and Budget.
Whereas, in addition to the public comment forum, ICANN actively
solicited community feedback and consultation with the ICANN community
by other means, including online conference calls, meetings in Singapore
and London, and email communications.
Whereas, the Board Finance Committee has discussed, and guided staff on,
the development of the FY15 Operating Plan and Budget at each of its
recent regularly scheduled meetings.
Whereas, the Board Finance Committee met on 19 August 2014 to discuss
the final draft FY15 Operating Plan and Budget, and recommended that the
Board adopts the FY15 Operating Plan and Budget.
Whereas, per section 3.9 of the 2001, 2009 and 2013 Registrar
Accreditation Agreements, respectively, the Board is to establish the
Registrar Variable Accreditation Fees, which must be established in
order to develop the annual budget.
Whereas, the description of the Registrar fees, including the
recommended Registrar Variable Accreditation Fees, for FY15 has been
included in the FY15 Operating Plan and Budget.
Resolved (2014.09.09.07), the Board adopts the FY15 Operating Plan and
