[Ncsg-discuss] DNS Abuse PDP - Motion to be voted during next Council Meeting

[Bruna Martins dos Santos]

Dear all,

Hope this email finds you well.

I would like to resurface some of the discussions regarding the DNS Abuse
PDP/PDPs.

Back in Dublin, we had a lot of community engagement on this issue -
championed by Farzaneh and Michaela - while the Council was first
approaching the topic and waiting for the Final Issue Report.

In many of our council debates about this, NCSG pointed out the following:
1.  Given the limited number of volunteers, we would prefer a phased
approach instead of having two PDPs running at the same time.
2. In terms of the prioritization, we would prefer to start with the API
discussion.
3. We would like for Council to further discuss the representation model,
as well as decide on the approach before we start drafting the charter or
charters.

Recently the GNSO Council Leadership have forwarded a motion that draws on
the Final Issue report and recommends two separate PDPs on (a)  Associated
Domain Checks and (b) Safeguards for Application Programming Interface
(API) access to new customers. Additionally, the motion suggests the
Starting PDP should be Associated Domain Checks and already shares a draft
charter.

Although I understand that the draft motion Council will debate next week
draws on the recommendations issued by the Final Issue report, I would like
to highlight the following:

1. NCSG does not support two separate PDPs, and have mentioned
during council meetings and community interactions that we would prefer a 2
phased approach. And the main reason for that is the lack of people to join
and follow both PDPs if they take place at the same time.
2. There was no such thing as a council vote on which would be the
preferred topic to start with - because we never debated the charter nor
the model appropriately.;
3. This feels like a rushed decision, and I believe the council would need
to reflect on what's best for us without having such a motion at the table.

Writing this email just so we can gather some views on the issue and to
help guide Peter's chats w/ the Leadership. And please, feel free to point
out in case I'm misrepresenting any of our discussions.

Looking forward to hearing from my fellow councilors and membership.

Best,

--
