[NCSG-PC] Canadian pharmacy association concerns over the CCT report

[Stephanie Perrin]

THe pharmacy guys (Ron Andruff and Tim Smith,) sent me four 
recommendations from the CCT review that they are worried about in terms 
of shadow regulation.  I agree.  We are walking down the famous slippery 
slope.......

*/Recommendation 1/*

Registrars and registries may acknowledge the ongoing problem of illegal 
online pharmacies and publicly support the work of organizations such as 
CSIP and the Alliance for Safe Online Pharmacies (ASOP) and companies 
involved in combatting the use of domain names for the illegal 
distribution of drugs and medicines by illegal online pharmacies.

*/Recommendation 2/*

When registries and registrars become aware of a suspected illegal 
pharmacy they may refer the domain to a third party provider that 
verifies the legitimacy of these websites.

*/Recommendation 3/*

After receiving adequate legal confirmation (pursuant to each 
organization’s own assessment of adequate legal confirmation) that a 
domain name hosts a website that is used to market and distribute drugs 
and medicines in violation of applicable laws, registrars and registries 
may take prompt action. Registries and registrars may take action on 
confirmed, illegal pharmacies up to and including suspension or deletion 
of the affected domain(s) in accordance with their internal procedures.

*/Recommendation 4/*

Registrars and registries also include on their website, contact 
information for an “Abuse Contact” so that users can report suspected 
illegal websites for further investigation by a online pharmacy 
verification provider.
