HI Tim please find an extract from https://www.centr.org/docs/1999/05/centr-ga2-icann.html which points out some basic responsibilities for cctld's and I'm sure when we put this in context with the governance discussions going on we could expand this further. In this regard i point us to the interests of the "soveriegn state" which i do not beleive are being taken in consideration today as regards to the .ug. Technically i already said and stated that a commendable job has been done and by suggesting that CFI be given the first 5 year term is confirmation of that. However the internet is changing on a daily rate and this change is driven by a collective discussion by all stakeholders. We as a nation are missing in this debate as far as names are concerned, this is a time consuming process that for a private business can be very unproductive. And thus my suggestion. Relationship between ccTLDs and ICANN CENTR Principles: DRAFT, for CENTR General Asssembly Ratification GA1999/02-11 Version 1.2: 13 May 1999 1. Nature of Relationship 1.1 A legally binding contract 2 Recognition 2.1 of ICANN by ccTLDs The ccTLD recognises ICANN as the global co-ordinator of the Operational Administration of the Internet 2.2 of ccTLD by ICANN ICANN recognises the ccTLD as the designated Top Level Domain Registry in the sovereign state (or other country or region) to which the Top Level Domain Name has been allocated. 3 Service Relationship 3.1 Provision of basic services by ICANN Maintaining the root & procedure for failure. 3.2 Payment of Fees for basic services Basis of fees to be established but related to level of effort involved (not number of domain names). 4 ccTLD Responsibilities 4.1 To Ensure The continuation of the original culture and inspiration of the Internet; The stability and safety of the Internet particularly within their own ccTLD; The interests of the sovereign state (or other country or region) indicated by the designated top level domain. 4.2 To Operate the Domain Registry Provide the Domain Name service to the Internet community using the designated Top Level Domain Name. 4.3 To Provide - 5 ICANN Responsibilities 5.1 ccTLD Delegation Delegate and maintain the delegation of the ccTLD.
