Recommendations

1. Mechanism of DN Administration
Administrator should be a neutral non-profit
govt. organization
There should be an independent arbitration agency
to resolve disputes
The judgment of arbitration agency should be
binding on the administrator
Eligibility for a particular domain name to be
allocated is required to be sought from the
applicant to prevent frauds.

10
Recommendations (Contd)

2. Responsibility of administration for handling
of domain names
It should adopt neutral and non-profit approach
Allocation should be non-discriminatory
The fees for this purpose should be minimum so
as to just recover the cost of administration
Governments of respective countries should take
initiative to establish such administrative
agency

11
Recommendations (Contd..)

3.Provisions in the national policy documents
In most of the countries there is no explicit
provision in respect of administration of domain
names in their sector policy documents.
Therefore, it is recommended that establishment
of such body should be done through a
administrative order by the Government.
4. Further analysis by COR group will be done on
getting the responses from other members.

Other members who have not submitted their
contributions should submit their responses for
further analysis by the consultative group
