I would like to add a comment to flag the problems around maintaining adequate domain name registration data, this in the case of ICANN’s targeted support for the Internet in Africa, and NCSG’s focus on the not-for-profit sector. Consider South Africa, by ordinary measures the most developed country in Africa. Earlier this year the government de-registered over 300 South African NGO’s and put an equal number on alert that they are about to lose their registration. Without registration the NGO cannot even own a bank account. The reason: failure to keep their required document filings up to date. If they own a domain name (gTLD or ccTLD) there is a high probability that they are not even aware of those registration data obligations and a high likelihood that they won’t keep that data current. As well, think of the nightmare that will arise for registrars, et. al. if the civil society groups that are de-listed have one of the new domain names where registered status is a requirement. Any policy that carries requirements should not be based on the ideal situation, and should take seriously subjecting itself to stress testing. As well, there is scope for enlightened or unenlightened government policy here on the continued ownership of particular gTLD domain names. If, for example, .ngo means a registered NGO and registration is lost, who will be empowered, or obliged, to act? Sam L.
