[Chapter-delegates] UN request for info on ISOC steps toward enhanced cooperation

[Grigori Saghyan]

Dear Mr. Graham,
not sure, that our practice includes something unusual, just to describe 
what situation we have in Armenia


   1. We have signed an agreement with the Ministry of transport and
      communications (MOTC) in which we determined, that MOTC and
      ISOC.AM will cooperate in Internet related issues, MOTC and
      ISOC.AM will provide mutual consultation and participate in
      development of telecommunications programs, etc. text is
      available, ready to provide if necessary.
   2. ISOC.AM was defined as a monopolist in domain delegation activity
      by The State Commission for the Protection of Economic Competition
      of Armenia. Periodically we have to provide necessary economical
      information concerning ISOC.AM activity.
   3. ISOC.AM have established a special working group, which can revoke
      a domain if it is proved that the domain is being used for
      spreading spam and/or any illegal or inappropriate purposes (to
      stir up an international, ethnic, religious discord, to abet in
      international terrorism, to promote violence, to boost up
      pornography, to support trafficking). Working group has among its
      members representatives from governmental authorities. Of course,
      standard procedure for revoke is also present -- court decision is
      mandatory for ISOC.AM.

ISOC.AM VP
