David Farrar Motion

This is to give notice of my intention to move the following motion at the AGM. It is in nine parts - I will move it as one but if the meeting so wishes could be voted on in parts even though to some degree they all flow together.

  1. That ISOCNZ adopt a Shared Registry Model for administering the DNS within *.nz.This should be implemented by removing the Registry function from DOMAINZ and maintaining DOMAINZ as a Registrar.
  2. That ISOCNZ establish an Implementation Team consisting of representatives of appropriate Council Committees and Working Groups, an industry representative and contracted project manager to oversee the transition.
  3. Requirements to become a Registrar should be minimal: a legal entity willing to sign a contract and pay its invoices.
  4. The charging regime use by the Registry should be as neutral as possible, reflecting the Registrars use of the Registry. A monthly charge should include a fixed or minimum component equivalent to approximately 100 names.
  5. The information held in the Registry for each name should be that information required for the correct operation of the DNS, identification and authentication of both the responsible Registrar and the Registrant, and technical and administrative contacts for the name.
  6. ISOCNZ should establish policy setting standards for the governance of the .nz portion of the DNS. This policy should be enforced through contracts.
  7. ISOCNZ should adopt a Statement of Best Practice. This statement should be instrumental in the governance of the Registry and in the development of working relationships with Registrars.
  8. A standing committee should be established to maintain liaison between the Registry and the Registrars.
  9. ISOCNZ should consult with its legal advisors with a view to establishing a method for funding DNS policy development that is fully transparent and subject to annual approval of the membership.

  4. Hine et al [June 21 2000]

  5. That ISOCNZ accept recommendations 2 through 9 of the Report of the SRS working group and (i) establish and enforce new policy consistent with recommendations 2, 4, and 5 as soon as practicable, and (ii) request the working group to resolve, in a continuation of the open and consultative manner used to date, the remaining issue specified in recommendation 6 and make consequential recommendations with respect to recommendations 3 and 7 as soon as practicable.
  6. Hine et al [June 21 2000]

Farrar Motions II

  1. That in order to implement the policy of "removing the registration function from the registry, with the registry focusing on registrars as its customers", the Registry function be removed from Domainz and Domainz is maintained as a Registrar.
  2. Farrar [June 21 2000]

  3. That ISOCNZ Council be directed to hire or contract a Project Manager to put together options on the details of the implementation of the AGM resolutions; to work with a working group which shall seek consensus and recommend and report to Council on said details; to put together a business plan for the implementation and transition; and when approved to oversee the implementation and transition.
