*Dear GNSO Councillors,*

The purpose of this note is to highlight the 25 February 2020 Board action
on the Registration Directory Service Review Team (RDS-WHOIS2-RT) Final
Recommendations - see
https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2020-02-25-en.

ICANN org wishes to notify you that the ICANN Board resolved to pass
through two recommendations to the GNSO Council, in whole or in part, for
your consideration, as documented in the scorecard
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/resolutions-board-action-rds-whois2-final-recs-25feb20-en.pdf>
associated with the Board resolution
<https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2020-02-25-en>.
Specifically, please see below Recommendations CC.1 and CC.4

*RDS-WHOIS2 Recommendation CC.1*: *“The ICANN Board should initiate action
intended to ensure that gTLD domain names suspended due to RDS (WHOIS)
contact data which the registrar knows to be incorrect, and that remains
incorrect until the registration is due for deletion, should be treated as
follows: (1) The RDS (WHOIS) record should include a notation that the
domain name is suspended due to incorrect data; and (2) Domain names with
this notation should not be unsuspended without correcting the data.”*

*Board resolution*: The Board approved this recommendation and directed
this item “to be included in the next round of contractual negotiations
with the Contracted Parties”, with a note that “it cannot require or
guarantee any negotiation outcomes”. The Board also noted that “this is an
area that the GNSO Council might wish to take into a policy development
process separate from any recourse to the policy development process that
might be incorporated into the negotiation process”, and passed through
this recommendation to the GNSO Council “for purposes of considering such
initiation”.

*Recommendation CC.4: “**The ICANN Board should recommend the GNSO adopt a
risk-based approach to incorporating requirements for measurement,
auditing, tracking, reporting and enforcement in all new RDS policies.*”

*Board resolution*: The Board passed the recommendation through to the GNSO
Council, “with reference to documentation of clarifications received from
RDS-WHOIS2 Implementation Shepherds in the 29 January 2020 discussion with
the RDS Board Caucus Group”, i.e. “this recommendation could be directed to
the GNSO”.

Additionally, we would like to highlight the following language of the
Board resolution: “in passing this recommendation through, the Board is
neither accepting nor rejecting the recommendation. The Board is careful to
respect the remit and roles of the different parts of the ICANN community
and is not directing Board or ICANN org action that would usurp another
group's remit”. These recommendations are for your consideration.

*Background*

The Registration Directory Service (RDS) Review is one of the four Specific
Reviews anchored in Section 4.6 of the ICANN Bylaws.

The RDS-WHOIS2 Review Team (RDS-WHOIS2-RT) produced 22 final
recommendations for Board consideration and released its Final Report
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/rds-whois2-review-03sep19-en.pdf>
on 3 September 2019. The RDS-WHOIS2-RT Final Report is the culmination of
over two years of work by 11 review team members, representing over 1,000
hours of meetings and countless more hours of work.

As required by section 4.6
<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article4.6> of
ICANN Bylaws, the Final Report was published for public comment
<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/rds-whois2-rt-final-report-2019-10-08-en>
to
inform Board action on the final recommendations.

The Board took action on each of the 22 recommendations produced by the
RDS-WHOIS2-RT
https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2020-02-25-en.
The Board’s action on each recommendation is documented in the scorecard
published at
https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/resolutions-board-action-rds-whois2-final-recs-25feb20-en.pdf
.

We thank you for your collaboration and would welcome any updates on your
progress in addressing, as appropriate, these recommendations, to be
included into ICANN org’s reporting.

Please let us know whether you have any questions.

Thank you.

Best regards,

Multi-stakeholder Strategy & Strategic Initiatives (MSSI) department
