Meeting Invitation | EURALO Round Table on RDRS | 30 January 2024 at 18:00 UTC
by ICANN At-Large Staff Jan. 25, 2024

Jan. 25, 2024

Dear All, On behalf of Sébastien Bachollet, Chair of EURALO, please join us for an EURALO round table on the Registration Data Request Service (RDRS) on Tuesday, 30 January 2024 at 18:00 UTC. Launched in November 2023, RDRS standardizes the way requests for nonpublic data are received/submitted by both registrars and requestors through the use of a single platform. The service can make it easier for both registrars and requestors, including consumer protection advocates, cybersecurity investigators, government officials, intellectual property professionals, and law enforcement authorities, who have a legitimate interest in accessing nonpublic gTLD registration data. The round table will provide a review of the RDRS service. Speakers will explain how the services works, discuss experiences using the service, provide metrics on usage data of the RDRS, end user understanding and point of view, the At-Large position and broader community’s opinion, and answer any questions and respond to comments and discussion. The agenda and call details are available at: https://community.icann.org/x/WgCWEQ Interpretation provided in English, Spanish, French and Russian. Zoom registration required: https://icann.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJYpcO6trj4vEtdYoL5bGHy83elCViE0iMPT Important: please keep note of the zoom room as you will be sent an unique link. If you require a dial-out or need to state an apology, please contact At-Large staff only (do not reply to all) at staff(a)atlarge.icann.org<mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org> with your preferred number.
