<div>Hi Kathy,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for your continued interest in the work being done by
this WG, and apologies for the slow response. I am on holiday
with my kids at Disneyland Paris right now, and am not regularly
checking my email. Being one of several NCSG members who
actively participated in this WG, I will try to briefly provide
my own personal perception regarding the "thick" Whois PDP WG's
initial report. Roy Balleste, Marie-Laure Lemineur and Avri
Doria could provide more insight as well, which I would
personally appreciate.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>On page 4 of the report, there is a list of 11 topics listed
for consideration by the WG's charter. Sub-teams were created
for each topic, each with their own mailing list and meeting
schedule, independent from the rest of the WG. To my knowledge,
NCSG had very little if any contributions to the sub-teams
listed apart from the one concerned with "Impact on privacy and
data protection" in which we really exerted the majority of our
collective effort. However, two submissions were made by NCSG
(one by each of the constituencies) in January addressing every
one of the topics listed for consideration as each constituency
saw fit, and you will find some of those comments reflected in
some of the sub-team findings (although not all). Still…, the
NCSG initial feedback is on-the-record and can be found <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=39421016">here</a> for
those who would like to go over them, or any of the other
statements submitted by other constituencies/SGs and ALAC.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I do not personally agree with the bottom line recommendation
of this report to proceed with a transition of current "thin"
registries to "thick", as well as implement this as a rule for
all new gTLDs beyond the last round of new gTLDs (which will
also all be adopting a "thick" Whois model as per the applicant
guidebook). It seemed to me that this was, however, the obvious
expected outcome by most of the WG members from the outset of
the WG's deliberations and am not surprised by the final
outcome.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I would definitely say though that section 5.5 (starting on
page 25) of the report with the findings of the Impact on Data
Protection and Privacy sub-team appropriately reflected the
concerns we, as NCSG members, expressed (amidst the lack of
concern expressed by other folks of course). I personally see
more of a noncommercial influence on this part of the report
than others. I do have to say that while working on this
sub-team, I was pleasantly surprised to find folks from other
SGs/constituencies very agreeable in accepting noncommercial
concerns, and including them in the sub-team findings. The
sub-team coordinator, Don Blumenthal, also did a great job of
moderating the discussions that included a lot of debates.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I generally found the folks from the Registries to be the
most on this WG to share common concerns with us in NCSG. I also
found it unfortunate that we had so much disagreement on this
topic with the folks from At-Large. I personally see a very
little difference between the interests of users and those of
registrants, especially where Whois and privacy is concerned. It
seems that the folks from At-Large don't agree with me. I think
that if we would like to make progress on this topic in the
future, we should probably work on both those fronts.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This email is no where near as brief as I intended it to be
when I started, but I will close with this; if we do submit a
public comment, we might want to focus less on detailing the
opinions we have on specific policy issues. We've done this
several times already during the course of this WG. I would lean
more towards brief overviews on those, with more elaborations on
the principles we hold that explain our policy positions. Folks
from NCSG who attended the WG meeting in Beijing did a pretty
good job of doing that, and I personally appreciated it. I would
appreciate input from others on this though.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks.</div>

Thank you for your time and efforts on this Working

have your guidance:<br>
- What do you agree with?<br>
- What do you disagree with?<br>

Feel free to share what you think your victories were
(hooray!) and what you think still needs to be done to

Following its analysis of the different

protection; cost implications;
synchronization / migration;
authoritativeness; competition in registry
services; existing Whois applications; data

implemented. In section 7.2 of the Initial

implementation considerations. In section

provides other observations that emerged
from this discussion which while not
directly related to the question of thin or

specifies Whois service requirements for
generic top-level domain (gTLD) registries
through the Registry Agreement (RA) and the
Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA).
Registries and registrars satisfy their
Whois obligations using different service
models. The two common models are often
characterized as "thin" and "thick" Whois
registries. This distinction is based on how
two distinct sets of data are managed. One
set of data is associated with the domain
name, and a second set of data is associated

Council requested an Issue Report regarding
the use of thick Whois by all gTLD
Registries at its meeting on 22 September
2011. The Issue Report was expected to 'not
only consider a possible requirement of
thick Whois for all incumbent gTLDs in the
context of IRTP, but should also consider
any other positive and/or negative effects
that are likely to occur outside of IRTP
that would need to be taken into account
when deciding whether a requirement of thick
Whois for all incumbent gTLDs would be
desirable or not'.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
