Possible ‘Next Steps’ in Dispute Resolution

Document released by ICANN for Public Notice

MARINA DEL REY, Calif.: Following the posting of the Frameworks and Principles for Accountability and Transparency, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers today published a document that countenances some possible additional improvements in dispute resolution mechanisms.

In response to feedback on accountability and transparency issues during the consultation process — especially feedback received during a workshop at ICANN’s Los Angeles meeting held in November 2007 — the ‘Next Steps’ document contains two ideas:

ICANN Meeting: Delhi, India; Feb 10th to Feb 15th 2008

It is time for the next quarterly ICANN meet and this time around it holds very special importance to us at LogicBoxes. The 2008 first quarter ICANN meet is scheduled to be held between 10th and 15th February in New Delhi, India. Being hosted in our own country for the very first time, it gives us immense pleasure to have the opportunity to especially invite you and your team to attend this meeting.

As always, this conference presents all members of the Internet Community with the opportunity to meet those within the ever expanding industry and exchange valuable insights on the current scenario and the expected road ahead. In addition to interacting and networking with key players, ICANN meetings allow all involved to voice their opinions on critical decisions and actively participate in the policy making process. Strategic decisions taken at such meetings will shape the future of Registrar businesses in the years to come.

Located within the host country, LogicBoxes has planned a surprise for all our clients and guests. It would be great if you and your team could join us for the same. At this point in time, I do not have the liberty of giving you more details on this exclusive event; however I can guarantee that it will be special and completely worth your while. Additionally, LogicBoxes and Skenzo will jointly sponsor the conference and we will have our booth at the venue throughout the meeting. Our entire contingent is expected to attend this meeting and we’d like to invite you all to drop in by the booth as per your convenience and give us the opportunity to discuss things over personally.

To make things a little easier, we have put together a whole list of hotels and resources that you could use to make your arrangements comfortably. We’d honestly like to see you all at the meeting and hope nothing deters you from making the trip to India. While ICANN has already listed out various options, we’ve taken up the initiative of finding accommodation and travel alternatives that might suit your needs. Please click here to access this information.

Also, if you intend to tour the country with family etc., do let us know and we could help you narrow down on places of interest and travel options. LogicBoxes’ Offices are located in Mumbai and if you do intend to visit our city, we’ll be glad to arrange for you to see our offices and meet our team in person.

We look forward to having you attend the meeting and sincerely hope that you will be part of the LogicBoxes event as well. Do let us know if you’ll need any additional information from us and we’d be more than happy to help.

Update to Paypal Standard Checkout Gateway

We have always prioritized giving you a secure environment to conduct your business. With the increasing number of online frauds, and as another step towards mitigating those frauds, we have made certain modifications to the PayPal Standard Checkout Gateway integration in your Control Panel. This is being done in order to enhance the security of PayPal transactions throughout your chain.

The following modifications have been made:
From here on, it is required that you (as well as any of your sub-resellers that have integrated PayPal Standard Checkout Gateway), ensure that your ‘Primary Email ID’ at PayPal is the same as your ‘PayPal Account Username’ in the PayPal integration form in your Control Panel. In case the two email addresses aren’t the same, the transaction will be marked as Auth Pending by our system and you will have to manually approve or decline it.

For your Customers’ / Sub-resellers’ PayPal transactions to get automatically approved, put:

Your ‘Primary Email ID’ at PayPal = ‘PayPal Account Username’ in the PayPal integration form in your LogicBoxes Control Panel.

We request you to check your settings within your account and either modify the Primary Email Id at PayPal to the Email Id you have entered as your PayPal username with us or vice versa.

In order to change your PayPal Username in your Control Panel, you need to go to

Settings >> Finance and Billing >> Payment Gateway >> List / Add

You could also refer to our KnowledgeBase for more information on this. For your convenience, we have prepared a White Labeled Mail that you could use to inform your sub-resellers about this change.

For more information on this, feel free to drop in a line to your Account Manager. Additionally, we strongly recommend that you pass on this information to all your sub-resellers at the earliest possible.
