The NCDNHC supports formation of a body which would provide technical and policy assistance, such as operations, domain name disputes, etc., and necessary guidance in enhancing ccTLD registries in developing countries.
That the NCDNHC form a body which will help ICANN investigate violations of the ICP-1 and RFC-1591 ccTLD documents;
That the same body be tasked with studying whether the current ICP-1 and RFC 1591 documents need to be modified, supplemented, or replaced by a new document which will ensure that the ccTLD administrators adhere to community-based, community-supported, and neutral registry operations of the ccTLD Registries in consonance with ICANN's policy of ensuring a neutral gTLD registry.
The ccTLD contracts among ccTLD-ICANN-GAC should go through an appropriate, open, transparent and documented consultation process with Local Internet Community, which by nature includes various non-commercial organizations and its members.
Therefore, NCDNHC, would like to propose that ccTLD contract should first go through DNSO consultation in order to encourage local Internet community discussion rather than negotiation among small group of people, ccTLD admin contact, ICANN staff and representative from GAC.
