<p>Colleagues,</p>
<p>I may have an overly simplistic view of the issue here, but I
would like to put it on the table. ICANN has a narrow remit within
the growing area of global, regional (e.g. EU), and national
Internet governance. It exercises that remit through a serious of
contracts with entities (registrars and registries) that operate
under diverse national Internet governance jurisdictions. <br>
</p>
<p>With differing specific data protection language in diverse
contexts, it is highly unlikely that ICANN can draft “higher
standard” contract language that will satisfy the data privacy
regulations of all, most, or even many, national data privacy
regimes. So, what is the path forward here?</p>
<p>There seem to be two components of a path forward. First, ICANN
must figure out how it exercises ICANN agency as a stakeholder in
the various legislative policy venues in which data privacy and
other Internet governance policy is debated and where regulations
are formed. Some ICANN stakeholders already “have skin in those
games” and are already present in those policy debates. ICANN
writes contract language and needs to be engaged as a stakeholder.
<br>
</p>
<p>Second, in contrast to seeking “higher standard” contract
language, ICANN may need to look for “minimum conditions” contract
language that offers contracted parties maximum freedom to
negotiate with and meet the conditions of national Internet
governance policies. At the same time ICANN can use its agency as
a stakeholder to press for “higher standard” national policies
that harmonize regulations, and facilitate the work and interests
of various stakeholders in the Internet ecosystem. <br>
</p>
<p>In short, the path forward may be (a) more ICANN agency as a
stakeholder, and (b) minimal contract language to maximize the
ability of contracted parties to deal with national policies and
regulations. <br>

<div>Hi Caleb,<br>

<div>While I appreciate that not all countries have data
protection laws, privacy remains a fundamental human right. My
suggestion is thus that we should adopt the highest level of
protection for all domain name registrants. And I suspect it is
a lot easier to implement one model, rather than fragmented
models for different jurisdictions.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Please also remember that ICANN sets policy by contract; i.e.
registries, registrars, and registrants agree by contract to
follow the rules and policies created by ICANN, and these
policies can be revised and deleted. So while ICANN must of
course comply with the law, it can adopt and impose a higher
standard on the contracted parties.<br>

<div>Hello Badii and Ayden,<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For me, i think the Model 2A serves the purposes. Don't
forget that not all countries have data protection laws or
policy in place.<br>
</div>
<div>Hence, based on jurisdiction, they cannot be governed by
laws that is peculiar to a certain continent or sovereign
state. <br>

<div>I could live with the second model.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The key differentiation between Model 2A and 2B is
its applicability: 2A applies only "where the
registrant, registry, registrar or a processor are
located in the European Economic Area"; 2B "applies to
all registrations on a global basis without regard to
location of registry, registrar registrant, and
processing activities"<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>On this basis I think Model 2B is the best path
forward. To have fragmented approaches for different
regions would be a mistake, in my opinion.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Given the short turnaround time here (we need to
agree on a position and submit a comment by 29 January)
and other obstacles between now and then
(Intersessional, GNSO Council Strategic Planning
Session), may I suggest that we schedule a call next
week to discuss our response?<br>
