Call for comments
by Alan Greenberg July 17, 2018

July 17, 2018

As I hope you are all aware, due to the European General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), access to some gTLD Domain Name registrant information (WHOIS) is being restricted. Traditionally, for a registrant who did not use a proxy service a WHOIS Query would reveal their full name, address, phone number and e-mail address. If you do a lookup for one of my addresses today you will see almost nothing! Try looking up alangreenberg.org at https://whois.icann.org. This increases privacy for some registrants and also makes information harder to access for those who currently use WHOIS. There are serious monetary fines associated with GDPR, so compliance is important. In addressing the new regulations, there has been a lot of discussion within ICANN over the last year. A GNSO Policy Development Process (PDP) started about 2 years ago which should have provided a new system (now called a Registration Directory Service (RDS) instead of WHOIS), but unfortunately that process has not completed in sufficient time. As a result, to meet the GDPR deadline of 25 May 2018, the ICANN Board implemented a Temporary Specification Policy to allow us and our contracted parties (Registrars and Registries) to be GDPR-compliant. That temporary policy must be replaced by a permanent one within one year - a VERY short time for ICANN policy development. The GNSO is starting an Expedited PDP which can complete faster than a regular PDP. The ALAC is being given two Members in the this group. We need to establish what our guiding principles are. Please visit https://community.icann.org/x/_YlHBQ, read what others think, and contribute your thoughts on what positions we should be taking. Alan

Call for Volunteers: GNSO Expedited PDP on Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data
by Alan Greenberg July 10, 2018

July 10, 2018

In light of the European General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), the ICANN Board enacted a temporary policy governing WHOIS (now know as Registration Data) effective 25 May 2018. This temporary policy must be replaced by a permanent policy within one year. To take this action, the GNSO has initiated and Expedited Policy Development Policy. The Charted for this process is expected to be approved by the GNSO on 19 July 2018, and a group convened to develop the policy will be convened soon after. Although the membership quotas of this group will not be definitively known until the charter is approved, at this point we expect that the ALAC will be given three Members and three Alternates. It is expected that Alternates may only actively participate if a Member is not available, but would be expected to be prepared to participate if needed. Members and Alternates representing the ALAC will work as a team to develop an ALAC position and strive to appropriately effect the policy effort. There will be regular consultation with the ALAC and At-Large. Since the policy must be in place by 25 May 2019, it is expected that a draft policy will be prepared in time for the ICANN63 meeting in late October 2018. Membership in the EPDP is expected to require up to 30 hours per week, starting immediately and at least for the first 4 months, and probably a lower but still significant commitment until mid-2018. The GNSO is also setting some very specific criteria for participation. Although the list may change, the current requirements are as follows: * Have sufficient and appropriate motivation, availability and expertise to participate in the substance of the work of the EPDP Team. Appropriate experience could, for example, include experience with the previous RDS/WHOIS policy development processes, task forces, or implementation review teams, or participation in EWG efforts; * Commit to abide by the EPDP Team Commitment Statement, and to accept the consequences of non-compliance as may be determined by the EPDP leadership or appointing group; * Commit to build consensus on issues within the scope of this EPDP; * Commit to actively participate in the activities of the EPDP on an on-going and long-term basis, for a period of no less than one-year, with the highest intensity expected in the first six to eight months; * Solicit and communicate (where appropriate) the views and concerns of individuals in the group that appoints them; * Commit to abide to the charter when participating in the EPDP Team; * Understand the needs of the Internet communities that ICANN serves (standards, domains and numbers); * Commit to attend any provided introductory training courses, e.g., privacy, trademarks, registrar operations, DNS, etc. * Understand the broader ecosystem (the Internet Community) in which ICANN operates and the needs of those working on other aspects of the Internet industry. Membership and participation will be on behalf of the ALAC and not representing personal views. Expressions of Interest will be accepted until 23:59 UTC on Friday, 13 July 2018. The EoI may be found at https://tinyurl.com/ALAC-EPDP-EoI. If you complete the EoI more than once, the last version will be the one used.
