The consultative committee meetings comprising AFNIC user and registrar members were held on 14 and 15 October 2010. The meetings enabled an interim update on the current projects and a discussion of the decision taken by the Constitutional Court of the French Republic on October 6.
The consultative committees also discussed AFNIC's priorities for 2011, which will be submitted for approval to the Board of Directors next month.
The consequences of the decision of the Constitutional Court
The decision by the Constitutional Court to consider as unconstitutional article L. 45 of the French Electronic Communications Act, which is the legal framework of domain names management in France, was discussed in detail. The consequences of the decision were discussed extensively during the committee meetings.
The members present stated their plea for a clear legislative framework by 1 July 2011 and underlined their support for AFNIC.
They welcomed Mr. Mathieu P, the initiator of the proceedings before the Constitutional Court, for a constructive exchange of views on the decision, its grounds, and the consequences for the stakeholders.
The priorities for 2011
The consultative committees also discussed the 2011 Business Plan, which includes a certain number of major issues, including input for the implementation of a new legal framework as of 1 July 2011, the launch of IDNs at the second level, ability to register .fr domains for more than one year and the finalisation of the deployment of DNSSEC.
The action plan will be presented to and voted on by the Board of Directors on 19 November 2010.
