    <p>I do not know who you are arguing for Milton, but certainly not
      our members.  Please read the legal memos, they back everything I
      have been arguing for.</p>
    <p>FIrstly, they reject the arguments put forward by the other side
      of the EPDP, that RIPE and .eu are a fit model for us and the
      SSAD.  Secondly, they reiterate the advice they gave us over a
      year ago to avoid discriminating between legal and natural in a
      manner that automates disclosure.  I don't know what happened to
      the old Milton who fought automated disclosure tooth and nail, but
      with outside counsel backing our position, in my view it would be
      daft to give in now and agree to create guidance.</p>
    <p>If we as a matter of policy create guidance, it will be examined
      by any DPA investigating a complaint about the SSAD.  The
      co-controllers will be held accountable for whether or not they
      adhere to it.  It may be reference in the Registrars Accreditation
      Agreements, negotiations for which are going on as we argue about
      this.  There is no reason that I can see to include the guidance
      that has been developed in our policy, I do not agree that this
      particular ship has sailed.  As far as I am concerned, it is still
      in drydock.</p>
    <p>What we have been discussing in the EPDP is the guidance that the
      registrars have already developed on a voluntary basis.  We can
      simply leave them to do this.  There is no need to treat the
      deliberations of this EPDP as holy writ that cannot be set aside,
      we have debated all kinds of nonsense over the past three years. 
      Putting it in a google doc does not mean it cannot land on the
      cutting room floor.  <br>
    </p>
    <p>I attach that guidance for those who are interested.</p>
    <p>Kind regards, Stephanie Perrin<br>

            is that the<br>
            > other half of the EPDP does want it, and the board will
            see the EPDP<br>
            > as deadlocked. So Option 1 will make you feel very

            ><br>
            > Scenario 1.<br>
            > We “hold the line,” and we revert to Phase 1
            recommendations<br>
            > unchanged. There is _no guidance_. The other half of
            the EPDP just<br>
            > gives up and accepts it. This result is not bad, I
            admit, if that<br>

            > But what are the Phase 1 recommendations? You have
            misrepresented the<br>
            > “status quo” as not differentiating legal and natural.
            WRONG. What<br>
            > will happen under this option is that any registrar or
            registry can<br>
            > choose to differentiate in any way they like. And there
            will be no<br>
            > guidance that you can appeal to if they do it wrong.
            You say you<br>
            > don’t want registrars asking users whether they are
            legal or natural.<br>
            > Well, sorry, that can happen under your Option 1. A
            deadlock on EPDP<br>
            > means that differentiation is neither prohibited or
            required, it is<br>
            > up to the contracted parties. Many registrars won’t do
            it, but some<br>
            > will. Registries could do it, too. This is the “let the
            market<br>
            > decide” option. Stephanie has become a libertarian, I
            guess.<br>
            ><br>
            > Scenario 2<br>
            > Scenario 1 assumes the other side accepts defeat. But
            what if we<br>
            > “hold the line,” and the other half of the EPDP doesn’t
            accept it?<br>
            > The European Commission, the US justice department, the
            GAC, SSAC,<br>
            > and of course the IPC/BC and ALAC join a strong chorus
            telling the<br>
            > board “something must be done.” The Board is
            influenced, and refuses<br>
            > to accept the recommendation, as it has done with the
            SSAD (which the<br>
            > same group of stakeholders opposed). We have seen the
            Board cave to<br>
            > GAC and governmental demands again and again, the
            latest example<br>
            > being “curative rights” for IGO acronyms, which the
            GNSO never<br>
            > approved. Worse, the EC may modify its NIS2 legislation
            to require<br>
            > ICANN to differentiate. The US congress could
            intervene. The issue<br>
            > festers for another three – five years. Several
            powerful players<br>
            > start attacking the multistakeholder process. Maybe
            ICANN corrupts<br>
            > its process once again.<br>
            ><br>
            > Scenario 3<br>
            > Scenario 3 is that we don’t require differentiation of
            legal persons,<br>
            > but we develop consensus guidance on how contracted
            parties should do<br>
            > it if they choose to do it. This is the most likely
            scenario, and<br>
            > it’s one that your position paper completely ignores.
            If you do want<br>
            > guidance, the approach to guidance that I have
            suggested is best,<br>
            > because it is a very lightweight process of
            self-identification by<br>
            > registrants. By offering some differentiation it may
            defuse the<br>
            > opposition of the other stakeholders. On the other hand
            Stephanie’s<br>
            > complicated, expensive and power-surrendering approach
            is not the<br>
            > kind of guidance we want.<br>
            ><br>
            > By now it should be clear to anyone who’s read this far
            that Scenario<br>
            > 1 is not as wonderful as you say and may not be
            possible. The EPDP is<br>
            > already deeply invested in developing guidance about
            how registrars<br>
            > should and should not differentiate. We have been
            working on it for<br>
            > weeks. Unless something changes radically in the next
            week, we will<br>
            > actually produce some guidance about differentiation.
            So, I suggest<br>
            > that we confine our debate to Scenario 2: the
            developing of<br>
            > nonbinding guidance. I suggest again that allowing
            registrants to<br>
            > choose to identify their registration as one of a legal
            person, with<br>
            > their data published or automatically available via
            SSAD, creates a<br>
            > path to consensus and to resolving the issue, whereas
            your preferred<br>
            > path does not.<br>
            ><br>
            > To conclude, I call your attention to a pathology that
            is paralyzing<br>
            > nearly all of ICANN’s working groups. Defining your
            position and<br>
            > “holding the line” is a strategy that all the SGs and
            ACs seem to<br>
            > adopt now. It turns all these deliberations into a
            bunch of people<br>
            > re-stating their position again and again for 3-4
            years,<br>

            > Fellow NCSG members,<br>
            ><br>
            >> We would like to work together to share our
            rationale for Option 1 –<br>
            ><br>
            > maintaining the status quo and not asking further
            follow-up<br>
            > questions, mandatory or otherwise, about legal and
            natural persons.<br>
            > While the EPDP phase 2a discussions have been an
            educational and<br>
            > interesting exercise, we are not under any obligation
            to change the<br>
            > existing policy, or further complicate it.<br>
            ><br>
            > As we have all discussed, legal/natural person
            questions are very<br>
            > complicated for many of our members who are often
            noncommercial and<br>
            > non-profit organizations whose structure and ways of
            obtaining domain<br>
            > names do not resemble those of the large corporations
            other<br>
            > stakeholder groups represent. Our members may have many
            layers of<br>
            > privacy protection in less-well-known sections of the
            GDPR, other<br>
            > local law, Constitutions and international conventions.<br>
            ><br>
            > We learned that recent studies show that 50% of gTLD
            domain name<br>
            > registrations are for natural persons – and at least
            25% more have<br>
            > overlapping entity and personal data (e.g., the
            organization name has<br>
            > personal data in it and is thus protected as personal
            data).<br>
            ><br>
            > Stephanie and Kathy shared their concerns for
            legal/natural person<br>
            > questions during our long work on the Proxy and
            Privacy <br>
            > Accreditation Working Group.   We worked closely with
            the Registrars<br>
            > Stakeholder Group to protect registrant privacy –
            including Battered<br>
            > Women’s Shelters, family planning clinics, and girls
            educational<br>
            > institutions – all of which may be legal entities, but
            have<br>
            > protectable data due to obvious danger from disclosure
            in certain<br>
            > countries.<br>
            ><br>
            > In light of the complicated world around us, we support
            Option 1- the<br>
            > Status Quo.  We ask the NCSG to adopt this as our
            stance.  Based on<br>
            > the existing policy which makes differentiation of
            legal/natural<br>
            > persons optional for each registrar, we believe we
            already have the<br>
            ><br>
            > -        best way to fight DNS Abuse,<br>
            ><br>
            > -        best way to protect individuals and
            noncommercial organizations, and<br>
            ><br>
            > -        best way to follow GDPR and other applicable
            human rights<br>
            > and free speech laws<br>
            ><br>
            > Therefore, we recommend NCSG “hold the line” and stick
            with Option 1.<br>
            ><br>
            > As the Registrars wrote in their EPDP Statement on
            Thursday April 29:<br>
            > We have heard plenty of vocal support in this group to <br>
            > [differentiate between legal and natural persons in a
            mandatory<br>
            > fashion], but to date the RrSG have not heard any
            compelling reason<br>
            > to create policy that makes this dramatic shift to the
            domain<br>
            > registration landscape.<br>
            ><br>
            > We agree.  Nothing will stop other stakeholder groups
            from demanding<br>
            > further disclosure of data, and lobbying other parties
            including<br>
            > governments. What we can do in ICANN is come up with
            the best<br>
            > solution for us at this time.<br>
            ><br>
            > Many thanks to the members of our NCSG EPDP Team for
            your hard work.<br>
            > This has been a long road.  With new studies, new
            information and<br>
            > legal opinions, we think we have a clear and strategic
            path forward. <br>
            > We believe our position to be closely aligned with that
            of the<br>
            > Registrar Stakeholder Group, which they articulated on
            April 29 (see<br>
            > below).<br>

            > Best, Kathy Kleiman and Stephanie Perrin<br>

            ---------------------------------------------------------<br>
            > The Registrar Stakeholder Group issued their position
            statement on<br>
            > Thursday (4/29):<br>
            ><br>
            > The members of the RrSG EPDP team have participated in
            this process<br>
            > in good faith since day one and will continue to do so;
            however, we<br>
            > need to be crystal clear that members of our
            Stakeholder Group, whom<br>
            > we are here to represent, have voiced and recently
            reconfirmed their<br>
            > strong opposition to any policy coming out of this
            group that makes<br>
            > differentiation between natural and legal persons for
            domain<br>
            > registrations mandatory.<br>
            ><br>
            > We have heard plenty of vocal support in this group to
            do just that,<br>
            > but to date the RrSG have not heard any compelling
            reason to create<br>
            > policy that makes this dramatic shift to the domain
            registration<br>
            > landscape. The Contracted Party can make the most
            accurate assessment<br>
            > of their own legal, technical, and commercial risks and
            obligations,<br>
            > and is the only party that can determine what level of
            risk they<br>
            > should assume. The scope of this EPDP Phase 2a is to
            consider if<br>
            > changes are required for the relevant Recommendation;
            it has become<br>
            > clear through this process that no such changes are
            required<br>
            ><br>
            > To the extent this group can focus its energies on
            guidance to<br>
            > contracted parties which choose on their own to make
            this<br>
            > differentiation, we continue to believe that is a
            worthwhile<br>
            > exercise. We believe that guidance materials including
            educational<br>
            > information provided by ICANN in multiple languages
            would help<br>
            > contracted parties educate registrants and this would
            be a valuable<br>
            > effort.<br>
            ><br>
            > That said, based on analysis done by our stakeholder
            group's members,<br>
            > we reject the notion that the majority of registered
            domain names are<br>
            > registered to legal entities. We further remind this
            team that we<br>
            > have not yet seen evidence that increased publication
            of registration<br>
            > data will address any of the problems which have been
            mentioned so<br>
            > far in this phase, and that the registration data is
            reliably and<br>
            > promptly available to those who do have a legitimate
            reason to access<br>
            > it.<br>
            ><br>
            > Finally we note that this statement represents the
            official position<br>
            > of the Registrar Stakeholder group, and statements from
            members of<br>
            > other groups participating in the EPDP do not represent
