2. .nz Policies and Procedures

There were no current consultations over February.  Work continues on the Additional Search Functionality and the Second Level Domains Policy review which will both be agenda items for the next DNCL Board meeting in April.

4. Other .nz matters

There was a meeting of the Registrar Advisory Group (RAG).  Items on the agenda included the implementation process for the .nz IDNs, DNSSEC and EPP updates.  The minutes of the meeting are online at http://dnc.org.nz/content/RAG_Meeting_Minutes_110210.html.

 

5. Dispute Resolution Service

As of the end of February, there were three disputes progressing through the DRS, with three valid complaints received during the month.  These figures are about average for February.

Three domain names were transferred as the result of two expert decisions.  The expert dealing with one of these complaints noted that it involved two domain names with two separate complainants, one complainant for each of the domain names, with one of them nominated ‘lead complainant’.  As the registrant was the same for each domain name, it is permissible under the DRS Policy but the Expert raised the point of it essentially being like two different complaints as the rights asserted for each domain name were different.

There are plans to review the DRS starting later this year so this matter may be one that is raised as part of that review.

6. DNC Office

Development work  on the application forms for IDN .nz domain names during the sunrise period is nearly complete.  Testing has been undertaken and the Sunrise Period is set to commence early April.
