ICANN News Alert -- ICANN Posts Amended Description of 2013 RAA Data Retention Specification Data Elements and Purposes for Collection/Retention
by ICANN At-Large Staff Aug. 10, 2015

Aug. 10, 2015

[ICANN]<https://www.icann.org/> News Alert https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2015-08-10-en ________________________________ ICANN Posts Amended Description of 2013 RAA Data Retention Specification Data Elements and Purposes for Collection/Retention 10 August 2015 ICANN posted on 23 March 2014 for public comment a document seeking to clarify what is meant by certain data elements described in the Data Retention Specification and describing potentially legitimate purposes for collection and retention of those data elements https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-3-2014-03-23-en. Following receipt of public comments on that document, ICANN stated that in the interest of facilitating resolution of ongoing data retention waiver negotiations, ICANN might amend or supplement the posted document if ICANN determines that this could enable ICANN and one or more registrars to reach agreement on the scope of data retention waivers under the 2013 RAA http://forum.icann.org/lists/comments-retention-21mar14/msg00007.html. In furtherance of ongoing discussions directed toward reaching agreement on the scope of data retention waivers under the 2013 RAA, ICANN is today posting an amended version of that document that we believe may enable ICANN and one or more registrars to reach agreement on the scope of data retention waivers under the 2013 RAA https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/raa-data-retention-elements-10a… [PDF, 295 KB].

ICANN News Alert -- Request for Proposal for the Independent Review of the Trademark Clearinghouse
by ICANN At-Large Staff Aug. 9, 2015

Aug. 9, 2015

[ICANN]<https://www.icann.org/> News Alert https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2015-08-07-en ________________________________ Request for Proposal for the Independent Review of the Trademark Clearinghouse 7 August 2015 The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN") is seeking one or more provider(s) to conduct an independent review of the Trademark Clearinghouse to assess the effectiveness of three key areas related to the Clearinghouse in meeting its intended objectives and to identify considerations for future application rounds of the New gTLD Program. The three key areas for examination in this review include: (a) Trademark Clearinghouse Guidelines and Verification Process; (b) Sunrise Period; and (c) Trademark Claims Service. The selected provider(s) will design and execute a study to create a meaningful report of quantitative and qualitative data on the specified areas for examination. The draft Report will be posted for comment and updated based on the feedback received. The final report will be published and provided to the Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) for review and consideration. ICANN is seeking one or more qualified providers to manage this complex exercise in a timely and efficient manner. ICANN anticipates a contract to be signed and work to begin with the selected provider(s) no later than October 2015. Based on the Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) recommendation<https://archive.icann.org/en/topics/new-gtlds/gac-comments-new-gtlds-26may1…> in May 2011 for a comprehensive post-launch independent review of the Clearinghouse to be conducted one year after the launch of the 75th new gTLD in the round, ICANN has pledged to undertake a review to assess processes pertaining to the Clearinghouse in conjunction with the specified areas for review proposed by the GAC. The GAC recommended areas for review should examine whether the aims, functionality and operations of the Clearinghouse would benefit from extending the period of the Clearinghouse notifications beyond the 90 days and whether the automated system should allow the inclusion of non-exact matches. In addition, this review will incorporate a thorough assessment of the effectiveness of TMCH related processes in meeting their intended rights protection objectives. It is expected that the independent review will help identify other issues for evaluation that should be included in the analysis of the Trademark Clearinghouse, such as issues that could be addressed in policy development work in the community. Furthermore, it is anticipated the review will help inform the discussion and enable consideration of the rights protection mechanisms available in the domain name space. As the Trademark Clearinghouse was developed to support rights protection mechanisms and serve a large ecosystem of Trademark Holders and Trademark Agents, registries, registrars, as well as registrants, the study must be able to capture inputs in a representative manner from across the multitude of players relevant to the new domain namespace. For additional information and instructions for submitting responses please click here<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/rfp-tmch-independent-review-07a…> [ZIP, 612 KB]. Proposals should be submitted to TMCHIndependentReview-RFP(a)icann.org<mailto:TMCHIndependentReview-RFP@icann.org> by 23:59 UTC on 28 August 2015.
