[34]Two ICANN directors update their conflicts profile after .africa
complaint
[35]Kevin Murphy, December 19, 2012, 01:40:48 (UTC), [36]Domain
Registries
ICANN directors Mike Silber and Chris Disspain have updated their
official statements of interest — used to identify potential conflicts
on the board — after a complaint from a .africa applicant.
The [37]new SOI statement more clearly specifies the relationship
between South African ccTLD policymaker ZADNA — for which Silber acts
as treasurer — and Uniforum, which has applied for the .africa gTLD.
It also gives a bit more information about Disspain’s employer, .au
policymaker AuDA, and ARI Registry Services, which is providing the
back-end registry services for dozens of new gTLD applicants.
Here’s Silber’s new SOI summary, with the relevant new text
highlighted:
Member of the Management Committee and Treasurer of the Internet
Service Providers’ Association (ISPA) South Africa. He is also, a
Director and Treasurer of the .za Domain Name Authority, the ccTLD
administrator for .za. The .za Domain Name Authority has concluded
an arms-length operating agreement with Uniforum t/a the .za Central
Registry for Uniforum to operate the .za registry. Under the
agreement, Uniforum will collect and pay transaction fees to .za
Domain Name Authority. Uniforum is acting as the registry service
provider for various new gTLD applicants.
Here’s Disspain’s, again with my emphasis:
Director and CEO of .au Domain Administration Limited, the .au ccTLD
manager; .au has sponsorship agreement with ICANN under which .au
pays ICANN a yearly amount based on the amount of names under
management. Former Officer of ICANN, Paul Levins, is a Director of
.au Domain Administration Limited. .au Domain Administration Limited
licenses AusRegistry Pty Ltd to run the registry for the second
level names in .au. Under the Registry License agreement,
AusRegistry pays fees to auDA; companies affiliated with AusRegistry
are affiliated with new gTLD applications.
AusRegistry is technically ARI’s parent, but they share many of the
same senior executives.
The updated statement comes shortly after a [38]complaint filed with
ICANN’s Ombudsman by .africa applicant DotConnectAfrica about Silber
and Disspain’s alleged conflicts of interest over the gTLD.
While the indirect connection between Silber and DCA’s rival .africa
applicant Uniforum is clear, it was not obvious to Ombudsman Chris
LaHatte what Disspain’s conflict was supposed to be.
LaHatte found no actions that constituted conflicts of interest from
either director, but he appeared to nudge the board to providing fuller
disclosure, which is what seems to have happened here.
