2R Models

Registry “2R” Model

Registry – Registrant

Registry provides direct registrations to consumers

Registrants request domains directly through registry

Registrants request domains directly through a direct reseller

3


2R Model

Advantages

Simple Model

Direct customer relationships

Offloads some customer interface work from

registry to reseller

Disadvantages

Doesn’t scale without lots of work from registry

4

3R Model

Registry “3R” Model

Registry – Registrar –

Registrant

Registrars interface

between customer and

registry

5


3R Model

Advantages More stakeholders => more policies/business models

Less work for registry (automation/EPP)

Focus on DNS services

6


Open and Closed models

Open registry

Allows anyone to register domains anywhere

Closed registry

Restricted registration

Laid down procedure for registration

7


Open vs. Closed registry

8


Implications

Open

Anyone anywhere can register domain

Not operated by many registries

Restrictions are minimal, eg. .ly allows for open

registration largely but restricts type of content

on .ly website

Introduction of policies in Dispute Resolution

Procedure to protect trademark owners and

defend their rights against cybersquatters

9


Implications

Closed

Adopted by many .ccTLD registries

Narrow defined categories for registration eg. Government, limited companies, academic institutions.

Strict checking means extra overheads eg. More paper work submissions as proof by registrant.

Additional cost is incurred

Complex because of too many rules to follow

Deters domain registrations and establishment of a thriving registrar sector

10


Open and Closed Model Adoption

These registries adopt open model

.at, .dk, .mx, .nz, .ch and .uk

Small Islands, .cc (Cocos), .tv (Tuvalu), .ws (Samoa)

Closed model

.fr, .de, .it, .be, .my, .es, .se, .nl and .ve

common restrictions are

residence requirement, company registration or legal

representative

11


Continued…

.es registry created open 3rd level domain eg. .com.es,

.nom.es, .org.es

Extending open model to 2nd level domain .es because of

positive experience with 3rd level domain

.za has open registrations for only .co.za domains

12


.gh Registry Model

3R Model

Registrar Accreditation Process to be published soon

Maximum of 5 Local registrars to be accredited in 2016

Closed Registry

Require Company registration certificate or trade mark

for registration

Reduces number of disputes

Debate on Close or Open registry for .gh registry later
