<div>Thanks for this update Stephanie, and a special thanks to you and everyone else from the NCSG who has worked so hard on reaching this milestone. I will confess that I have not followed the work of the PPSAI WG but I hope the compromise reached, between your recommendations and those of the GAC, was a fair one. And I totally agree with you that ICANN should not be seeking to curtail or control content or behaviour that does not threaten the operation of the Internet itself; it should only be making policies, supported by consensus, that deal with the operation of and threats to the Domain Name System. Thanks again for all your hard work. </div><div><br></div><div>- Ayden</div><div><br></div><div><div class="gmail_extra">

<p>For those interested in the final results of the privacy proxy
services accreditation issues working group, which wrapped up last
year after much discussion and debate,
<a href="https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=43983094">https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=43983094</a>,
the Board has passed the final recommendations, accepting the
Government Advisory Committee's request to attempt to accommodate
their concerns as expressed in their recommendations to the PDP,
during the next phase which is implementation. This represents a
compromise. It will be important for our stakeholder group to
have strong representation on the Implementation Review Team,
which should be starting up shortly. <br>
</p>
<p>One of the critical issues was whether or not businesses or those
conducting financial transactions on a website should be allowed
to use privacy proxy services. Our position was that they should,
for many reasons, notably that small businesses and organizations,
including charitable organizations, may process small payments or
donations on the web, but may still need to have their address and
contact information protected if they are subject to harassment or
discrimination in some regions. There are many other reasons,
including a very important one in my view: ICANN must not get
further into the business of making policy based on information
appearing on websites.</p>

e. GNSO Policy Recommendations on Privacy & Proxy Services
Accreditation
<pre>Whereas, on 31 October 2013, the GNSO Council approved the charter for a Working Group to conduct a Policy Development Process that had been requested by the ICANN Board concerning the accreditation by ICANN of privacy and proxy domain name registration service providers, as further described at <a href="http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/raa-pp-charter-22oct13-en.pdf">http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/raa-pp-charter-22oct13-en.pdf</a> [PDF, 463 KB].
Whereas, the PDP followed the prescribed PDP steps as stated in the ICANN Bylaws, resulting in a Final Report being delivered to the GNSO Council on 8 December 2015.
Whereas, the Privacy & Proxy Services Accreditation Issues PDP Working Group (WG) reached Full Consensus on all its final recommendations (see <a href="http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/raa/ppsai-final-07dec15-en.pdf">http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/raa/ppsai-final-07dec15-en.pdf</a> [PDF, 1.24 MB]).
Whereas, the GNSO Council reviewed and discussed the final recommendations of the Privacy & Proxy Services Accreditation Issues PDP WG, and adopted the recommendations on 21 January 2016 by a unanimous vote (see <a href="http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions">http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions</a> - 201601.)
Whereas, the GNSO Council vote exceeded the required voting threshold (i.e. supermajority) to impose new obligations on ICANN contracted parties.
Whereas, in accordance with the ICANN Bylaws, a public comment period was opened on the approved recommendations to provide the community with a reasonable opportunity to comment on their adoption prior to action by the ICANN Board, and the comments received have been summarized and reported (see <a href="https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/report-comments-ppsai-recommendations-31mar16-en.pdf">https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/report-comments-ppsai-recommendations-31mar16-en.pdf</a> [PDF, 299 KB]).
Whereas, the ICANN Bylaws provide that the Board is to request the GAC's opinion regarding "any policies that are being considered by the Board for adoption that substantially affect the operation of the Internet or third parties, including the imposition of any fees or charges" and "take duly into account any advice timely presented" as a result.
Whereas, the Board notified the GAC of the publication of the GNSO's final recommendations for public comment on 19 February 2016 (see <a href="https://gacweb.icann.org/download/attachments/27492514/2016-02-19-Steve-Crocker-to-Thomas-Schneider-GNSO-PDP.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1456046942000&api=v2">https://gacweb.icann.org/download/attachments/27492514/2016-02-19-Steve-Crocker-to-Thomas-Schneider-GNSO-PDP.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1456046942000&api=v2</a> [PDF, 819 KB]).
Whereas, in its Marrakech Communiqué issued on 9 March 2016 the GAC advised the ICANN Board that it needed more time to consider potential public policy concerns relating to the adoption of the final PDP recommendations (see <a href="https://gacweb.icann.org/download/attachments/28278854/GAC">https://gacweb.icann.org/download/attachments/28278854/GAC</a> Morocco 55 Communique FINAL.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1458046221000&api=v2 [PDF, 567 KB]).
Whereas, on 15 May 2016 the Board acknowledged receipt of the GNSO's PDP recommendations and resolved to consider them at its first meeting following ICANN56 to enable the GAC to provide timely advice, if any (see <a href="https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2016-05-15-en">https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2016-05-15-en</a> - 2.a).
Whereas, in its Helsinki Communiqué issued on 30 June 2016 the GAC advised the ICANN Board to direct that the GAC's concerns be effectively addressed to the greatest extent feasible by the Implementation Review Team that is to be convened to implement the adopted recommendations (see <a href="https://gacweb.icann.org/display/gacweb/Governmental+Advisory+Committee?preview=/27132037/43712639/20160630_GAC%20ICANN%2056%20Communique_FINAL%20.pdf">https://gacweb.icann.org/display/gacweb/Governmental+Advisory+Committee?preview=/27132037/43712639/20160630_GAC%20ICANN%2056%20Communique_FINAL%20.pdf</a> [PDF, 328 KB]).
Resolved (2016.08.09.08), the Board hereby adopts all the final recommendations of the Privacy & Proxy Services Accreditation Issues PDP Working Group, as passed by a unanimous vote of the GNSO Council on 21 January 2016 ("Privacy/Proxy Policy Recommendations").
Resolved (2016.08.09.09), the Board directs the President and CEO, or his authorized designee, to develop and execute an implementation plan, including costs and timelines, for the Privacy/Proxy Policy Recommendations consistent with ICANN Bylaws Annex A and the Implementation Review Team Guidelines & Principles endorsed by the Board on 28 September 2015 (see <a href="https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2015-09-28-en">https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2015-09-28-en</a> - 2.f), and to continue communication with the community on such work. In the event that policy issues arise in the course of implementation discussions, they should be referred back to the GNSO in accordance with the framework for implementation associated with GNSO policy recommendations, including the Implementation Review Team Guidelines & Principles.
Resolved (2016.08.09.10), the Board acknowledges the GAC's advice from the Helsinki Communiqué regarding the Privacy/Proxy Policy Recommendations. The Board will consider the GAC's advice and provide input to the Implementation Review Team for consideration in implementation planning.
