[wg-review] 11 [IDNH] individual domain name owners, Report requested by Members of the WG-Review

[Jefsey Morfin <jefsey@wanadoo.fr>]

This is a first list of questions, please add/comment on the relevance.  At 
this stage we do not look for debate.

The plan is to listi these questions for further reference on the temporay 
http://idnh.org site by tomorrow (this temporary site should become 
http://idnh.dnso.org  as soon as the constituency process progresses).

- should the DNSO/IDNH be a direct GA of individual domain name holders 
(with potentially millions of Members)? or should it be an union of 
services, associations, etc.. of individual domain name holders on a model 
similar to the DNSO/BC? Or should it be organized in cooperation with local 
NICs or TLDs as TLD/national chapters? or other formulas?

- would it be appropriate to set up a temporary action team for this 
subject list with the Members of this WG-Review who seconded this motion?

- would there be exsiting organizations interested in IDNH issues which 
could be provided a link on the temporary http://idnh.org site ?

- what are the priorities of DNSO/IDNH Members in term of domain name 
management, allocation stability and legal protection:

    - in reference to ICANN
    - in reference to UDRPs
    - in reference to Registries and ccTLDs
    - in reference to Registras
    - in reference to national laws to be proposes
    - in reference to which other topics?

- would it be a priroity to request a formal technical and legal definition 
of what is a domain name in order to know what we are talking about in 
contracts, laws, rules, UDRP, IP, copyrights, freespeach, etc...

- would it be advisable to consider this subject list as the kernel of an 
IDNH constituency? and to report it as such to the BoD, the Staff and the NC?

- would it be of interest to have this individual domain name holders 
subject list to work together/in synergy with the future @large Study Group 
to better define the common interest issues (DNSO) and the protection of 
the individual business interest (@large).

- would it be of interest to request from BoD and Staff to organize a 
constitution meeting of the DNSO/IDNH constituency in Melbourne?

- would it be of interest to request from the Staff the creation of a 
idnh.dnso.org mailing list to better prepare such a meeting?

- evolution of the DNS system is made through the CRADA agreement and the 
root development through the SSRAC. Would it be of interest to ask the 
responsibles of these programs to dialog with the individual domain name 
holders for them to better understand the business opportunities which may 
come from novative uses of the DNS system.

- would it be of interest to initiate a similar dialog with the different 
groups and interests involved in multilingual domain names? In particular 
would be intersting to investigate a common study with the MINC which 
mainly focus on muli-lingual domain name issues, in particular in he area 
of the application of TM protection to foreign languages and sounds?

- would it be opportune for an individual domain name owner constituency to 
ask for a financial contrinbution? Would some organizations want to sponsor 
such a constituency? Under which terms?
