is just a quick note to update list
members on what is going on at ICANN
related to privacy and protection of
registration data. The most important
development which I need to bring to your
attention is the call for volunteers for
the new pdp to develop a replacement for
the WHOIS directory. I have copied the
call at the bottom of this email. Please
consider joining, either as an observer or
full participant. If you have questions,
please do not hesitate to contact me,
Tapani Tarvainen, or Kathy Kleiman (in
cc). We really need a great many people
to volunteer for this work, as it is
extremely important, and there are many
commercial participants already signed
up. It is important to have balanced
representation of interests on these
working groups.<br>
<br>
Registrars and technical experts have
expressed concern, notably at the GNSO
level, about the RDAP (registration data
access protocol) work that is proceeding
even though the work of the PDP on WHOIS
replacement may make this work
irrelevant. It is likely a call to put
the brakes on that work may develop. For
more information on the RDAP
implementation, look here:<a
moz-do-not-send="true"

We will be putting in comments, due in 22
days.<br>
<br>
The call for volunteers for the
Competition and Consumer Trust Review Team
has resulted in the selection of the team,
listed here: <a moz-do-not-send="true"

target="_blank">https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2-2015-12-23-en</a>.
This is a very important review, and
members may be interested in following the
work of this team. Further information is
available here <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/reviews/cct" target="_blank">http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/reviews/cct</a>
and members may be interested in looking
at the public opinion survey done by
Nielsen in 2015, as it will no doubt be
important for the work of the committee,
and be considered in the context of the
the two studies of DNS abuse for which
ICANN is currently tendering.<br>
<br>
The Final report and recommendations of
the Privacy Proxy Working Group has been
sent to the GNSO for its endorsement, and
will be discussed at the Marrakech meeting
in March. We expect to see a call for
volunteers for the implementation working
group shortly. <br>
<br>
Finally, we are proposing to have a
privacy meeting in Marrakech, although we
have yet to hear whether this proposal has
been approved. Stay tuned, and please
join us for the next monthly discussion on
January 19th.<br>

<h3><b>In Brief</b></h3>
The Generic Names Supporting
Organization (GNSO) Council seeks
volunteers to serve on a PDP Working
Group to establish a policy framework
for a next-generation gTLD
Registration Directory Service (RDS)
to replace WHOIS (Next-Gen RDS). The
GNSO Council <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#201511"
target="_blank">approved the WG's
charter</a> on 19 November 2015,
tasking this PDP to address concerns
with WHOIS by creating a new policy
framework capable of balancing diverse
interests to meet today's needs for
gTLD registration data.<br>
</dd>
<dd><br>
</dd>
<dd><b>What This Team Will Do</b></dd>
<dd><br>
The PDP WG will use a 3-phase process
defined in the <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/whois-ng-gtld-rds-charter-07oct15-en.pdf"
target="_blank">approved charter</a>to
(1) establish gTLD registration data
requirements to determine if and why a
next-generation RDS is needed, (2)
design policies that detail functions
that must be provided by a
next-generation RDS to support those
requirements, and (3) provide guidance
for how a next-generation RDS should
implement those policies, coexisting
with and eventually replacing WHOIS. <br>
</dd>
<dd>This PDP WG will provide the GNSO
Council with policy recommendations
regarding the issues identified in the
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://whois.icann.org/sites/default/files/files/final-issue-report-next-generation-rds-07oct15-en.pdf"
target="_blank">Final Issue Report</a>
[PDF, 1.4 MB] and as defined in the <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/whois-ng-gtld-rds-charter-07oct15-en.pdf"
target="_blank">charter approved by
the GNSO Council</a> [PDF, 628 KB].
Specifically, this PDP WG is tasked
with analyzing the purpose of
collecting, maintaining and providing
access to gTLD registration data and
considering safeguards for protecting
that data, determining if and why a
next-generation RDS is needed to
replace WHOIS, and creating policies
and coexistence and implementation
guidance to meet those needs.<br>
</dd>
<dd>During the first phase of this PDP,
the PDP WG will, at a minimum, attempt
to reach consensus recommendations
regarding the questions detailed in
the PDP WG’s charter. The PDP WG’s
output will then be submitted to the
GNSO Council for approval of its
recommendations regarding IF and WHY a
next-generation RDS is needed to
replace WHOIS before moving to the
next phase. If the WG concludes a new
policy framework is needed, this
output should include requirements to
be addressed by that new framework and
any next-generation RDS. However, if
the WG concludes the existing WHOIS
system can adequately address
requirements, the WG’s output should
confirm this and identify any
necessary changes to the WHOIS policy
framework.<br>
<br>
</dd>
<dd>After Phase 1, if the GNSO Council
confirms that a new policy framework
and next-generation RDS are required,
the PDP WG will then proceed to Phases
2 and 3, recommending a new consensus
policy framework to satisfy
requirements for a next-generation RDS
established in Phase 1, along with any
necessary coexistence and
implementation guidance. Further
detail regarding this 3-phase process
and questions to be considered can be
found in the PDP WG’s charter.<br>
<br>
<b>How This Team Will Work</b></dd>
<dd><br>
ICANN WGs use transparent, open
processes. The meetings of this PDP WG
will be recorded, and the recordings
will be available to the public. The
mailing list for the PDP WG will be
archived publicly. The group will
collaborate using a public workspace
for draft materials and all final work
products and milestones will be
documented on the <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://community.icann.org/display/gTLDRDS/Next-Generation+gTLD+Registration+Directory+Services+to+Replace+Whois"
target="_blank">WG's wiki</a>. The
PDP WG is expected to follow the <a

Guidelines</a> [PDF, 350 KB] as well
as the GNSO PDP Manual.<br>
<br>
<b>How to participate </b></dd>
<dd><br>
There are two ways to volunteer: </dd>
<dd>Individual Members – anyone
interested cann volunteer to join the
PDP WG as a WG member, regardless of
whether they are members of the ICANN
community. Members are expected to
actively contribute to mailing list
conversations as well as meetings – it
is anticipated tthat the PDP WG will
at a minimum meet on a weekly basis
via teleconference. Members are
expected to provide essential input to
the process. Members will be required
to provide a Statement of Interest (<a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://community.icann.org/display/gnsosoi/New+SOIs"
target="_blank">SOI</a>). </dd>
<dd>Mailing list observers – for those
who are merely interested in
monitoring thhe WG’s conversations,
there is the possibility to sign up as
a mailing list "observer" which offers
read-only access to the mailing list.
Mailing list observers will not be
permitted to post, will not receive
invitations to the various meetings or
calls of the WG and will not have to
complete a Statement of Interest. At
any point in time, a mailing list
observer can join the WG as a member
simply by informing the GNSO
Secretariat. </dd>
<dd>In addition, there will be
opportunities to provide input through
public consultations and public
comment processes that the PDP WG is
expected to organize.<br>

<b>Next steps</b></dd>
<dd><br>
In its motion, the GNSO Council
directed that this call for volunteers
be circulated as widely as possible in
order to ensure broad representation
and participation in the WG. This call
will remain open until the WG convenes
for the first time. At this juncture,
it is anticipated that the PDP WG may
convene online in late January 2015.
Following that, regular online
meetings will be scheduled in
accordance with the PDP WG’s work
plan, which it is expected to develop
as one of its first tasks.<br>

<h3><b>Background</b></h3>
<br>
Created in the 1980s, WHOIS began as a
service to identify and contact
entities responsible for the operation
of a network resource on the Internet.
Over the years, ICANN's requirements
for gTLD domain name registration data
collection, access and accuracy have
undergone some important changes. Yet,
after nearly 15 years of task forces,
review teams, and studies,
comprehensive WHOIS policy reform
remains the source of long-running
discussion and debate.<br>
</dd>
<dd>In 2012, the ICANN Board launched
the Expert Working Group on gTLD
Registration Directory Services (EWG)
to help redefine the purpose of gTLD
registration data and consider how to
safeguard the data, and to propose a
model for gTLD registration directory
services (RDS) to address accuracy,
privacy, and access issues.<br>
</dd>
<dd>Upon publication of the EWG's Final
Report in June, 2014, an informal
group of GNSO Councilors and ICANN
Board Members collaborated to propose
a Process Framework for structuring a
GNSO PDP to successfully address these
challenging issues. This Process
Framework was adopted by the Board in
2015, along with a reaffirmation of
its 2012 request for a PDP to be
convened to define the purpose of
collecting, maintaining and providing
access to gTLD registration data. The
Board also asked that the PDP consider
safeguards for protecting data, using
the recommendations in the EWG's Final
Report as an input to, and, if
appropriate, as the foundation for a
new gTLD policy.<br>
</dd>
<dd>In preparation for this PDP, a new <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://whois.icann.org/sites/default/files/files/rds-prelim-issue-13jul15-en.pdf"
target="_blank">Preliminary Issue

published for <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.icann.org/public-comments/rds-prelim-issue-2015-07-13-en"
target="_blank">public comment</a>
on 13 July 2015. A <a

target="_blank">Final Issue Report</a>
[PDF, 1.2 MB] was subsequently
published on 7 October 2015, including
links to all public comments received,
along with a draft charter for the PDP
WG. This draft charter was approved by
the GNSO Council on <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocouncilmeetings/Motions+19+November+2015"
target="_blank">19 November 2015</a>,
enabling the formation of a GNSO
working group of community volunteers
to progress this PDP.<br>
</dd>
<dd>More information can be found on the
<a moz-do-not-send="true"

href="https://community.icann.org/display/gTLDRDS/Next-Generation+gTLD+Registration+Directory+Services+to+Replace+Whois"
target="_blank">WG's wiki</a>,
including the WG's charter, inputs
already provided by all SG/Cs during
the public comment period, and an
extensive library of foundational
materials to inform the WG's
deliberations. In addition, the WG
will reach out to all SG/Cs for
feedback on any items that they
believe should be considered that may
not have been specifically called out
in the approved charter.<br>
</dd>
<dd>As this will be a complex
multi-phase PDP, all those interested
in helping to shape the policy
framework for a next-generation gTLD
RDS are encouraged to volunteer for
this WG. Only with the help of the
entire community can this WG achieve
its goal of formally defining an
appropriate purpose of gTLD
registration data and establishing a
new policy framework to enable
permissible access to that data with
improved privacy and accuracy.<br>
