<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi all,</div><div><br></div><div>Greetings from the skies over the Pacific ocean.</div><div><br></div><div><b>Councillors</b>, what do think about Anne's suggestion of initiating a GGP process to develop implementation guidelines for the Urgent Request timeline issue that GAC PSWG has offered to develop an LEA authentication system that might help make the implementation of urgent requests feasible?</div><div>The council's position currently seems to be that with an authentication system, the IRT can proceed with its work on implementing Urgent Requests, but will it really have everything? I had a chat with Anne to further discuss this and below are some things she believes the GGP might need to develop implementation guidance on, and I tend to agree:</div><div><br></div><div>
<div>1. Ways of verifying that the LEA is legit (coming out of the GAC PSWG work but feed that into the GGP)</div><div>2.
Requirements to show that the facts supplied by the authenticated LEA
are believable (verifiable) and fit into one of the four categories to
which the urgent requests time frame applies. (Standards may vary
depending on the allegation.)</div><div>3. Specific information on the
particular law which the LEA is seeking to enforce (in some ways may be
redundant with the exercise in 2. above.</div><div>4. Maybe some helpful
standards on types of replies that registrars can make within 24 hours
- can this be standardized somehow?</div><div>5. Helpful standards on what registrars can say if a request is denied. </div>
</div><div><br></div><div>Keen to hear your thoughts, especially <a class="gmail_plusreply" id="plusReplyChip-1" href="mailto:farzaneh.badii@gmail.com" tabindex="-1">@farzaneh badii</a> who has been following this work.</div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><div>Warmly,<br></div>Tomslin<div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:12.8px"></span></div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:12.8px"><br></span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">---------- Forwarded message ---------<br>From: <b class="gmail_sendername" dir="auto">Anne ICANN via council</b> <span dir="auto"><<a href="mailto:council@icann.org">council@icann.org</a>></span><br>Date: Sat, 1 Mar 2025 at 07:17<br>Subject: [council] Re: Proposed Agenda | GNSO Council Meeting | Wednesday, 12 March 2025<br>To: Terri Agnew <<a href="mailto:terri.agnew@icann.org">terri.agnew@icann.org</a>><br>Cc: <a href="mailto:council@gnso.icann.org">council@gnso.icann.org</a> <<a href="mailto:council@gnso.icann.org">council@gnso.icann.org</a>>, <a href="mailto:liaison6c@icann.org">liaison6c@icann.org</a> <<a href="mailto:liaison6c@icann.org">liaison6c@icann.org</a>>, GNSO-Secs <<a href="mailto:gnso-secs@icann.org">gnso-secs@icann.org</a>><br></div><br><br><div dir="ltr"><div>Thanks Terri. With respect to Item 7 below, "Urgent Requests", some of us participated in the GAC PSWG meetings on this topic that commenced week before last. I think that was a productive meeting but several questions arose (in chat) about the procedural context in terms of GNSO Council work. Obviously a PSWG meeting is not a GNSO process.</div><div><br></div><div>Based on the letters exchanged between the Board and Council in 2024, it appears that the Board previously adopted EPDP Phase I Recommendation 18 in relation to Urgent Requests but later determined that it was problematic to implement. The Board stated it was reconsidering its prior adoption of the Recommendation. Again, based on correspondence from the GAC, the GAC is just looking for parallel processes on authenticationof Law Enforcement Agency Urgent Requests and it appears that the Board and the Council believe the implementation issues can be addressed by reconvening the IRT. (Of course, it may not be that easy to "reconvene". If this summary of the status of the issue is wrong, I'm sure Steve Chan will correct me.)</div><div><br></div><div>Of course if the Board actually "non-adopts" Recommendation 18, it would appear this would require Supplemental Recommendations or a Section 16 process. But as long as Recommendation 18 stands as "approved", a different process may be appropriate. Reconvene the IRT or something else?</div><div><br></div><div>Urgent Requests really only apply in 4 limited circumstances which the registrar must evaluate before releasing registration data (presumably after confirming that the request comes from legitimate law enforcement authority). Separately, it does seem to me that the registrar will not only have to be notified of the situation that meets one of these criteria (and related facts?), but also of the specific law that the LEA is seeking to enforce.</div><div><br></div><div>For discussion purposes, I wanted to mention one alternative to reconvening the IRT. A GNSO procedure which applies in circumstances where there is new information and the Board is seeking input on how to implement policy already adopted is the GNSO Guidance Process provided in the ByLaws. Further Information is available here:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/annex-5-ggp-manual-24oct19-en.pdf" target="_blank">https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/annex-5-ggp-manual-24oct19-en.pdf</a></div><div><br></div><div>Looking forward to the discussion in Council in Seattle.
