            Fully agree. Although I don’t feel that was the intent, it

            up.

            IMHO, I don’t see the need for a public comment period on
            every time this policy might be used. If a new set of
            policies and processes are adopted for handling WHOIS
            conflicts with privacy laws, then they should be clear
            enough during implementation to not require public comment,
            right? Isn’t this the case with all policies? For instance,
            is there a public comment period every time a new registrar
            signs a contract with ICANN? Or will there be a public
            comment period when implementation of the “thick” WHOIS
            policy kicks in?
            <br>
            <br>
            Another thought is that a public comment period will also
            lengthen the period during which a registrar will
            potentially be at risk for non-compliance with local laws.
            Unless there is an important reason why there should be a
            public comment for each of the resolution scenarios, then I
            suggest we support Kathy’s recommendation to not have any.

                  To Rafik, NCSG Executive Committee and NCSG

                  <br>
                  <br>
                  There is an important, but very quiet comment
                  proceeding that has been
                  <br>
                  taking place this summer. It is the /Review of the
                  ICANN Procedure for
                  <br>
                  Handling WHOIS Conflicts with Privacy Law///at
                  <br>
                  /<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.icann.org/public-comments/whois-conflicts-procedure-2014-05-22-en/">https://www.icann.org/public-comments/whois-conflicts-procedure-2014-05-22-en/</a>
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  Stephanie put out a call for comments, and not seeing
                  any, I drafted
                  <br>
                  these.  It has been dismayeding ever since ICANN
                  adopted its Consensus
                  <br>
                  Procedure for Handling WHOIS Conflicts with Privacy
                  law -- because it
                  <br>
                  basically requires that Registrars and Registries have
                  to be sued or
                  <br>
                  receive an official notice of violation before they
                  can ask ICANN for a
                  <br>
                  waiver of the Whois requirements. That always seemed
                  very unfair- that
                  <br>
                  you have to be exposed to allegation of illegal
                  activity in order to
                  <br>
                  protect yourself or your Registrants under your
                  national data protection
                  <br>
                  and privacy laws.
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  In the more recent Data Retention Specification, of
                  the 2013 RAA, ICANN
                  <br>
                  Staff and Lawyers saw this problem and corrected it --
                  now Registrars
                  <br>
                  can be much more pro-active in showing ICANN that a
                  certain clause in
                  <br>
                  their contract (e.g., extended data retention) is a
                  clear violation of
                  <br>
                  their national law (e.g., more limited data
                  retention).
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  So to this important comment proceeding, I drafted
                  these comments for us
                  <br>
                  to submit. As Reply Comments (during the Reply
                  Period), we are asked to
                  <br>
                  respond to other commenters. That's easy as the
                  European Commission and
                  <br>
                  Registrar Blacknight submitted useful comments.
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  Rafik, can we edit, finalize and submit by the
                  deadline on Friday?
                  <br>
                  Comments below and attached. If you have edits, in the
                  interest of time,
                  <br>
                  kindly suggest alternate language. Tx!!

                  <br>
                  *Introduction*
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  The Noncommercial Stakeholders Group represents
                  noncommercial
                  <br>
                  organizations in their work in the policy and
                  proceedings of ICANN and
                  <br>
                  the GNSO. We respectfully submit as an opening premise
                  that every legal
                  <br>
                  business has the right and obligation to operate
                  within the bounds and
                  <br>
                  limits of its national laws and regulations. No legal
                  business
                  <br>
                  establishes itself to violate the law; and to do so is
                  an invitation to
                  <br>
                  civil and criminal penalties. ICANN Registries and
                  Registrars are no
                  <br>
                  different – they want and need to abide by their laws.
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  Thus, it is timely for ICANN to raise the questions of
                  this proceeding,
                  <br>
                  /Review of the ICANN Procedure for Handling WHOIS
                  Conflicts with Privacy
                  <br>
                  Law/(albeit at a busy time for the Community and at
                  the height of

                  <br>
                  *Background*
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  The /ICANN Procedure for Handling Whois Conflicts with
                  Privacy Law /was
                  <br>
                  adopted in 2006 after years of debate on Whois issues.
                  This Consensus
                  <br>
                  Procedure was the first step of recognition that data
                  protection laws
                  <br>
                  and privacy law DO apply to the personal and sensitive
                  data being
                  <br>
                  collected by Registries and Registrars for the Whois
                  database.
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  But for those of us in the Noncommercial Users
                  Constituency (now part of
                  <br>
                  the Noncommercial Stakeholders Group/NCSG) who helped
                  debate, draft and
                  <br>
                  adopt this Consensus Procedure in the mid-2000s, we
                  were always shocked
                  <br>
                  that the ICANN Community did not do more. At the time,
                  multiple Whois
                  <br>
                  Task Forces were at work with multiple proposals which
                  include important
                  <br>
                  and pro-active suggestions to allow Registrars and
                  Registries to come
                  <br>
                  into compliance with their national data protection
                  and privacy laws.
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  At the time, we never expected this Consensus
                  Procedure to be an end
                  <br>
                  itself – but the first step of many steps. It was an
                  “end” for too long,
                  <br>
                  so we are glad the discussion is reopened and once
                  again we seek to
                  <br>
                  allow Registrars and Registries to be in full
                  compliance with their
                  <br>
                  national data protection and privacy laws – from the
                  moment they enter
                  <br>
                  into their contracts with ICANN.

                  III/*. */Questions asked of the Community in this
                  Proceeding
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  The ICANN Review Paper raised a number of excellent
                  questions. In
                  <br>
                  keeping with the requirements of a Reply Period, these
                  NCSG comments
                  <br>
                  will address both our comments and those comments we
                  particularly
                  <br>
                  support in this proceeding.
                  <br>
                  <br>
                      1.
                  <br>
                  <br>
                         Is it impractical for ICANN to require that a
                  contracted party
                  <br>
                         already has litigation or a government
                  proceeding initiated
                  <br>
                         against it prior to being able to invoke the
                  Whois Procedure?
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  1.1 Response: Yes, it is completely impractical (and
                  ill-advised) to
                  <br>
                  force a company to violate a national law as a
                  condition of complying
                  <br>
                  with that national law. Every lawyer advises
                  businesses to comply with
                  <br>
                  the laws and regulations of their field. To do
                  otherwise is to face
                  <br>
                  fines, penalties, loss of the business, even jail for
                  officers and
                  <br>
                  directors. Legal business strives to be law-abiding;
                  no officer or
                  <br>
                  director wants to go to jail for her company's
                  violations. It is the
                  <br>
                  essence of an attorney's advice to his/her clients to
                  fully comply with
                  <br>
                  the laws and operate clearly within the clear
                  boundaries and limits of
                  <br>
                  laws and regulations, both national, by province or
                  state and local.
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  In these Reply Comments, we support and encourage
                  ICANN to adopt
                  <br>
                  policies consistent with the initial comments
                  submitted by the European
                  <br>
                  Commission:
                  <br>
                  <br>
                       o
                  <br>
                  <br>
                         that the Whois Procedure be changed from
                  requiring specific
                  <br>
                         prosecutorial action instead to allowing
                  “demonstrating evidence
                  <br>
                         of a potential conflict widely and e.g.
                  accepting information on
                  <br>
                         the legislation imposing requirements that the
                  contractual
                  <br>
                         requirements would breach as sufficient
                  evidence.” (European
                  <br>
                         Commission comments)
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  We also agree with Blacknight:
                  <br>
                  <br>
                       o
                  <br>
                  <br>
                         “It's completely illogical for ICANN to require
                  that a
                  <br>
                         contracting party already has litigation before
                  they can use a
                  <br>
                         process. We would have loved to use a procedure
                  or process to
                  <br>
                         get exemptions, but expecting us to already be
                  litigating before
                  <br>
                         we can do so is, for lack of a better word,
                  nuts.” (Blacknight
                  <br>
                         comments in this proceeding).
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  <br>
                     1.1a How can the triggering event be meaningfully
                  defined?
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  1.1 a Response: This is an important question.
                  Rephrased, we might ask
                  <br>
                  together – what must a Registry or Registrar show
                  ICANN in support of
                  <br>
                  its claim that certain provisions involving Whois data
                  violate
                  <br>
                  provisions of national data protection and privacy
                  laws?
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  NCSG respectfully submits that there are at least four
                  “triggering
                  <br>
                  events” that ICANN should recognize:
                  <br>
                  <br>
                       o
                  <br>
                  <br>
                         Evidence from a national Data Protection
                  Commissioner or his/her
                  <br>
                         office (or from a internationally recognized
                  body of national
                  <br>
                         Data Protection Commissioners in a certain
                  region of the world,
                  <br>
                         including the Article 29 Working Party that
                  analyzes the
                  <br>
                         national data protection and privacy laws) that
                  ICANN's
                  <br>
                         contractual obligations for Registry and/or
                  Registrar contracts
                  <br>
                         violate the data protection laws of their
                  country or their group
                  <br>
                         of countries;
                  <br>
                  <br>
                       o
                  <br>
                  <br>
                         Evidence of legal and/or jurisdictional
                  conflict arising from
                  <br>
                         analysis performed by ICANN's legal department
                  or by national
                  <br>
                         legal experts hired by ICANN to evaluate the
                  Whois requirements
                  <br>
                         of the ICANN contracts for compliance and
                  conflicts with
                  <br>
                         national data protection laws and cross-border
                  transfer limits)
                  <br>
                         (similar to the process we understand was
                  undertaken for the
                  <br>
                         data retention issue);
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  <br>
                       o
                  <br>
                  <br>
                         Receipt of a written legal opinion from a
                  nationally recognized
                  <br>
                         law firm in the applicable jurisdiction that
                  states that the
                  <br>
                         collection, retention and/or transfer of
                  certain Whois data
                  <br>
                         elements as required by Registrar or Registry
                  Agreements is
                  <br>
                         “reasonably likely to violate the applicable
                  law” of the
                  <br>
                         Registry or Registrar (per the process allowed
                  in RAA Data
                  <br>
                         Retention Specification); or
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  <br>
                       o
                  <br>
                  <br>
                         An official opinion of any other governmental
                  body of competent
                  <br>
                         jurisdiction providing that compliance with the
                  data protection
                  <br>
                         requirements of the Registry/Registrar
                  contracts violates
                  <br>
                         applicable national law (although such
                  pro-active opinions may
                  <br>
                         not be the practice of the Data Protection
                  Commissioner's office).
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  The above list draws from the comments of the European
                  Commission, Data
                  <br>
                  Retention Specification of the 2013 Registrar
                  Accreditation Agreement,
                  <br>
                  and sound compliance and business practices for the
                  ICANN General
                  <br>
                  Counsel's office.
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  We further agree with Blacknight that the requirements
                  for triggering
                  <br>
                  any review and consideration by ICANN be: simple and
                  straightforward,
                  <br>
                  quick and easy to access.
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  <br>
                     1.3 Are there any components of the triggering
                  event/notification
                  <br>
                  portion of the RAA's Data Retention waiver process
                  that should be
                  <br>
                  considered as optional for incorporation into a
                  modified Whois Procedure?
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  1.3 Response: Absolutely, the full list in 1.1a above,
                  together with
                  <br>
                  other constructive contributions in the Comments and
                  Reply Comments of
                  <br>
                  this proceeding, should be strongly considered for
                  incorporation into a
                  <br>
                  modified Whois Procedure, or simply written into the
                  contracts of the
                  <br>
                  Registries and Registrars contractual language, or a
                  new Annex or
                  <br>
                  Specification.
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  We respectfully submit that the obligation of
                  Registries and Registrars
                  <br>
                  to comply with their national laws is not a matter of
                  multistakeholder
                  <br>
                  decision making, but a matter of law and compliance.
                  In this case, we
                  <br>
                  wholeheartedly embrace the concept of building a
                  process together that
                  <br>
                  will allow exceptions for data protection and privacy
                  laws to be adopted
                  <br>
                  quickly and easily.
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  <br>
                     1.4 Should parties be permitted to invoke the Whois
                  Procedure before
                  <br>
                  contracting with ICANN as a registrar or registry?
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  1.4 Response: Of course, Registries and Registrars
                  should be allowed to
                  <br>
                  invoke the Whois Procedure, or other appropriate
                  annexes and
                  <br>
                  specifications that may be added into Registry and
                  Registrar contracts
                  <br>
                  with ICANN. As discussed above, the right of a legal
                  company to enter
                  <br>
                  into a legal contracts is the most basic of
                  expectations under law.
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  <br>
                     2.1 Are there other relevant parties who should be
                  included in this
                  <br>
                  step?
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  2.1 Response: We agree with the EC that ICANN should
                  be working as
                  <br>
                  closely with National Data Protection Authorities as
                  they will allow. In
                  <br>
                  light of the overflow of work into these national
                  commissions, and the
                  <br>
                  availability of national experts at law firms, ICANN
                  should also turn to
                  <br>
                  the advice of private experts, such as well-respected
                  law firms who
                  <br>
                  specialize in national data protection laws. The law
                  firm's opinions on
                  <br>
                  these matters would help to guide ICANN's knowledge
                  and evaluation of
                  <br>
                  this important issue.
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  <br>
                     3.1 How is an agreement reached and published?
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  3.1 Response. As discussed above, compliance with
                  national law may not
                  <br>
                  be the best matter for negotiation within a
                  multistakeholder process. It
                  <br>
                  really should not be a chose for others to make
                  whether you comply with
                  <br>
                  your national data protection and privacy laws. That
                  said, the process
                  <br>
                  of refining the Consensus Procedure, and adopting new
                  policies and
                  <br>
                  procedures, or simply putting new contract provisions,
                  annexes or
                  <br>
                  specifications into the Registry and Registrar
                  contracts SHOULD be
                  <br>
                  subject to community discussion, notification and
                  review. But once the
                  <br>
                  new process is adopted, we think the new changes,
                  variations,
                  <br>
                  modifications or exceptions of Individual Registries
                  and Registrars need
                  <br>
                  go through a public review and process. The results,
                  however, Should be
                  <br>
                  published for Community notification and review.
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  We note that in conducting the discussion with the
                  Community on the
                  <br>
                  overall or general procedure, policy or contractual
                  changes, ICANN
                  <br>
                  should be assertive in its outreach to the Data
                  Protection
                  <br>
                  Commissioners. Individual and through their
                  organizations, they have
                  <br>
                  offered to help ICANN evaluate this issue numerous
                  times. The Whois
                  <br>
                  Review Team noted the inability of many external
                  bodies to monitor ICANN
                  <br>
                  regularly, but the need for outreach to them by ICANN
                  staff nonetheless:
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  *Recommendation 3: Outreach*
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  *ICANN should ensure that WHOIS policy issues are
                  accompanied by
                  <br>
                  cross-community*
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  *outreach, including outreach to the communities
                  outside of ICANN with a
                  <br>
                  specific*
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  *interest in the issues, and an ongoing program for
                  consumer awareness.*

                  This is a critical policy item for such outreach and
                  input.
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  <br>
                     3.2 If there is an agreed outcome among the
                  relevant parties, should
                  <br>
                  the Board be involved in this procedure?
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  3.2 Response: Clearly, the changing of the procedure,
                  or the adoption of
                  <br>
                  a new policy or new contractual language for
                  Registries and Registrars,
                  <br>
                  Board oversight and review should be involved. But
                  once the new
                  <br>
                  procedure, policy or contractual language is in place,
                  then subsequent
                  <br>
                  individual changes, variations, modifications or
                  exceptions should be
                  <br>
                  handled through the process and ICANN Staff – as the
                  Data Retention
                  <br>
                  Process is handled today.
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  <br>
                     4.1 Would it be fruitful to incorporate public
                  comment in each of
                  <br>
                  the resolution scenarios?
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  4.1 Response: We think this question means whether
                  there should be
                  <br>
                  public input on each and every exception? We
                  respectfully submit that
                  <br>
                  the answer is No. Once the new policy, procedure or
                  contractual language
                  <br>
                  is adopted, then the process should kick in and the
                  Registrar/Registry
                  <br>
                  should be allowed to apply for the waiver,
                  modification or revision
                  <br>
                  consistent with its data protection and privacy laws.
                  Of course, once
                  <br>
                  the waiver or modification is granted, the decision
                  should be matter of
                  <br>
                  public record so that other Registries and Registrars
                  in the
                  <br>
                  jurisdiction know and so that the ICANN Community as a
                  whole can monitor
                  <br>
                  this process' implementation and compliance.
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  Step Five: Public notice
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  <br>
                     5.2 Is the exemption or modification termed to the
                  length of the
                  <br>
                  agreement? Or is it indefinite as long as the
                  contracted party is
                  <br>
                  located in the jurisdiction in question, or so long as
                  the applicable
                  <br>
                  law is in force.
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  5.2 Response: We agree with the European Commission in
                  its response,
                  <br>
                  “/By logic the exemption or modification shall be in
                  place as long as
                  <br>
                  the party is subject to the jurisdiction in conflict
                  with ICANN rules.
                  <br>
                  If the applicable law was to change, or the contacted
                  party moved to a
                  <br>
                  different jurisdiction, the conditions should be
                  reviewed to assess if
                  <br>
                  the exemption is still justified.” But provided it is
                  the same parties,
                  <br>
                  operating under the same laws, the modification or
                  change should
                  <br>
                  continue through the duration of the relationship
                  between the
                  <br>
                  Registry/Registrar and ICANN. /
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  <br>
                     5.3 Should an exemption or modification based on
                  the same laws and
                  <br>
                  facts then be granted to other affected contracted
                  parties in the same
                  <br>
                         jurisdiction without invoking the Whois
                  Procedure
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  5.3 Response. The European Commission in its comments
                  wrote, and we
                  <br>
                  strongly agree: /“the same exception should apply to
                  others in the same
                  <br>
                  jurisdiction who can demonstrate that they are in the
                  same situation.”
                  <br>
                  /Further, Blacknight wrote and we support: /“if ANY
                  registrar in
                  <br>
                  Germany, for example, is granted a waiver based on
                  German law, than ALL
                  <br>
                  registrars based in Germany should receive the same
                  treatment.” /Once a
                  <br>
                  national data protection or privacy law is interpreted
                  as requiring and
                  <br>
                  exemption or modification, it should be available to
                  all
                  <br>
                  Registries/Registrars in that country.
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  Further, we recommend that ICANN should be required to
                  notify each gTLD
                  <br>
                  Registry and Registrar in the same jurisdiction as
                  that of the decision
                  <br>
                  so they will have notice of the change.
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  We thank ICANN staff for holding this comment period.
