Staff officers in the U. S. Navy provide specialized support to Line Officers and to all other persons in the organization. Staff functions in the Navy include medical, legal, supply and chaplain (religious).
Accordingly, the staff recommends that it be authorized by the Board to convey to the DNSO a list of issues for possible study, with a view toward formulating appropriate recommendations as to refinements to the policy, to be presented to the Board in 2000.
Staff notes that the delineation of evidence of bad-faith is not intended to be exhaustive, and other types of evidence may be presented to the panel in the administrative dispute-resolution procedure.
Staff acknowledges that the procedures are quite extensive,(3) but feels that at least initially it is important to have a notification procedure that is very likely to alert domain-name holders when they must act to defend their domain names.
ICANN staff and counsel feels that this formulation fairly places subsequent court actions in a reasonable location for the domain-name holder, while limiting the possibility of abuses through such tactics as submission of incorrect Whois data.
ICANN staff and counsel feel that this elaboration is more prudently deferred until experience with proceedings under the policy and rules accumulates.
This last feature would, in the view of ICANN staff and counsel, severely impair the principle that the dispute resolution policy should be uniform among registrars, and is therefore contrary to Board Resolutions 99.43 and 99.83.
