IANA in Transition: Update
by At-Large Staff April 9, 2014

April 9, 2014

http://blog.icann.org/2014/04/iana-in-transition-update/ IANA in Transition: Update by Theresa Swinehart on April 7, 2014 We received an overwhelming response to our call for feedback in the design of a community-driven process toward achieving transition of NTIA¹s Stewardship of the IANA Functions. From the launch of the public comment process in Singapore two weeks ago through last Thursday, we received numerous ideas on principles and mechanisms and are now incorporating them into our consultation materials. We also are taking into account feedback received from our I* partners. As a result, we need a little longer than the anticipated 7 April deadline for finalizing and posting the scoping, draft process proposal and timeline documents for further public dialogue. We will now be posting COB on 8 April (UTC). Thanks for your understanding and stay tuned! -------------- Heidi Ullrich, Silvia Vivanco, Ariel Liang, Gisella Gruber, Nathalie Peregrine and Terri Agnew ICANN Policy Staff in support of ALAC E-mail: staff(a)atlarge.icann.org One World, One Internet

ICANN News Alert -- RDS Risk Survey and Webinar: How will a Proposed Next Generation Registration Directory Services (RDS) to Replace Whois Impact You? (Available Until 15 May 2014)
by ICANN At-Large Staff April 5, 2014

April 5, 2014

[http://www.icann.org/images/gradlogo_bow.jpg]<http://www.icann.org/> News Alert http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-04apr14-en.htm ________________________________ RDS Risk Survey and Webinar: How will a Proposed Next Generation Registration Directory Services (RDS) to Replace Whois Impact You? (Available Until 15 May 2014) 4 April 2014 The Expert Working Group on gTLD Directory Services (EWG)<https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=40175189> invites you to participate in its recently launched Registration Directory Service (RDS) Risk Survey. If you provide or use gTLD domain name registration data (today known as Whois), please consider responding to this survey to share your unique perspective on potential risks and benefits associated with the EWG's proposed RDS, should ICANN choose to implement such as system to replace Whois. Today, anyone can query Whois to identify the organization or individual responsible for an Internet domain name, known as a Registrant, along with their postal address, email address, and telephone number. The EWG was asked to re-examine the purpose and provision of this information, envisioning a clean-slate approach to meet global Internet community needs with greater privacy, accuracy, and accountability. The EWG's proposed next generation RDS would collect, validate and disclose registration information for permissible purposes only, with some values remaining public and others being gated – that is, returned only to authorized users with legitimate purposes. At this point, the RDS is simply a proposal being refined by the EWG for ICANN Board and community consideration. If you are one of the many different individuals, businesses, and other organizations that consume Whois data today, or a domain name Registrant, Registrar, or Registry that provides Whois data today, please participate in this survey. This survey is a chance to tell the EWG about the risks and benefits that the recommended RDS might have for YOU. All risks and benefits identified through this survey will be published in aggregated, anonymized form and used by the EWG to refine its recommendations and as input to a full risk assessment. RDS Risk Survey attributes: * RDS Risk Survey Availability Date: 15 March 2014 * RDS Risk Survey address: http://www.icann.org/en/groups/other/gtld-directory-services/rds-risk-surve… * RDS Risk Survey Close Date: 15 May 2014, 23:59 UTC To read more, you may download a printable PDF<http://www.icann.org/en/groups/other/gtld-directory-services/rds-risk-surve…> [PDF, 1.93 MB] before returning to http://www.icann.org/en/groups/other/gtld-directory-services/rds-risk-surve… to take the on-line survey. Translated versions of this survey will also be available shortly. To learn more about this survey, please join the EWG for this interactive online workshop: How will Next Generation Registration Directory Services impact you? Date: Wednesday, 16 April 2014 Time: 19:00-20:30 UTC (time converter: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=EWG+Workshop+Webin…) Date: Thursday, 17 April 2014 Time: 12:00-13:30 UTC (time converter: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=EWG+Workshop+Webin…) Additional details on the interactive online workshop are available here<http://www.icann.org/en/about/learning/webinars/rds-workshop-04apr14-en.htm>. You may also learn more about the proposed next generation RDS at any time by: * WATCHING this short introductory video<https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=40175189> * LISTENING to this longer presentation<http://buenosaires48.icann.org/en/schedule/wed-rds> * EXPLORING these FAQs<http://www.icann.org/en/groups/other/gtld-directory-services/faqs>, or * READING the EWG's Initial Report<http://www.icann.org/en/groups/other/gtld-directory-services/initial-report…> [PDF, 1.70 MB] and Status Update Report<http://www.icann.org/en/groups/other/gtld-directory-services/status-update-…> [PDF, 2.26 MB] Background In December 2012, ICANN announced the creation of an Expert Working Group (EWG) on next generation gTLD Registration Directory Services, as a first step in fulfilling the ICANN Board's directive to help redefine the purpose and provision of gTLD registration data. The EWG's findings are expected to serve as a foundation to help the GNSO create a new global policy for the provision of gTLD registration data. A significant milestone was reached on 24 June 2013<http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-3-24jun13-en.htm> with the publication <http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-3-24jun13-en.htm> of the Expert Working Group on gTLD Directory Services<http://www.icann.org/en/groups/other/gtld-directory-services> (EWG)'s Initial Report and FAQs, opening a consultation period with the ICANN community. The Initial Report<http://www.icann.org/en/groups/other/gtld-directory-services/initial-report…> [PDF, 1.70 MB] enumerated the users, purposes, data elements, recommended principles and features, and proposed model to guide the development of a next generation Registration Directory Service (RDS) to replace Whois. Prior to the ICANN Meeting in Buenos Aires, the EWG published its Status Update Report<http://www.icann.org/en/groups/other/gtld-directory-services/status-update-…> [PDF, 2.26 MB] to highlight the EWG's thinking on these and many other key issues. It also provides a great deal more detail on the analysis that lay behind the Initial Report<http://www.icann.org/en/groups/other/gtld-directory-services/initial-report…> [PDF, 1.70 MB]. What's Next? The EWG is now completing its research and information gathering phase before delivering its final recommendations to the ICANN Board. The RDS Risk Survey is one of several research efforts undertaken being the EWG to ensure that its final recommendations are supported by facts and informed by current practices and input from all those potentially impacted by any next generation system to replace Whois. The EWG expects to complete its recommendations in 2014, informed by Community feedback and in-depth analysis of selected areas, including the responses to this RDS Risk Survey. The EWG plans to deliver its final report to the ICANN Board in June 2014. Questions If questions arise about the RDS Risk Survey, please contact us at Risk-EWG-Survey(a)icann.org<mailto:Risk-EWG-Survey@icann.org>.
