Call for volunteers:Working Group to develop policy recommendations on issues relating to the accreditation of privacy and proxy service providers for domain name registrations.
by Benedetta Rossi 07 Nov '13

07 Nov '13

Dear BC Members, Please find below the Call for volunteers for the Working Group to develop policy recommendations on issues relating to the accreditation of privacy and proxy service providers for domain name registrations. Kind Regards, Benedetta Rossi BC Secretariat bc-secretariat(a)icann.org https://community.icann.org/display/gnsobc/Home www.bizconst.org In Brief The Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council seeks volunteers to serve on a Working Group to develop policy recommendations on issues relating to the accreditation of privacy and proxy service providers for domain name registrations. What This Team Will Do The Working Group (WG) is tasked to provide the GNSO Council with a set of recommendations regarding issues identified during the recently-concluded negotiations for the new 2013 Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA), including recommendations made by law enforcement and GNSO working groups, that were not addressed during the negotiations and otherwise suited for a Policy Development Process (PDP); specifically, issues relating to the accreditation of privacy & proxy services. Specific issues to be discussed by the WG are detailed in the WGs charter: http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/raa-pp-charter-22oct13-en.pdf How This Team Will Work ICANN Working Groups use transparent, open processes. The meetings of this WG will be recorded, and the recordings will be available to the public. The mailing list for the WG will be archived publicly. WG members are expected to submit Statements of Interest ( <https://community.icann.org/display/gnsosoi/New+SOIs> SOI). The group will collaborate using a public workspace. The WG is expected to follow the <http://gnso.icann.org/council/annex-1-gnso-wg-guidelines-08apr11-en.pdf> GNSO Working Group Guidelines. How to Join The GNSO Council invites interested parties to join the WG, which will be open to anyone interested to join. Community members who wish to be invited to join the group should contact the <mailto:gnso.secretariat@icann.org?subject=Application%20to%20Join%20Uniform ity%20of%20Reporting%20Drafting%20Team> GNSO secretariat ( <mailto:gnso.secretariat@icann.org> gnso.secretariat(a)icann.org) Background In October 2011, the ICANN Board initiated negotiations with the Registrars Stakeholder Group for a new form of RAA, and simultaneously requested an Issue Report from the GNSO on issues not covered by the negotiations and otherwise suited for a PDP. The Final Issue Report was published in March 2012, and recommended that the GNSO commence its PDP as soon as possible after receiving a report that the negotiations were concluded. In June 2013, the ICANN Board formally approved the new 2013 RAA. In September 2013, ICANN staff published a paper for the GNSO reporting on the conclusion of the RAA negotiations and highlighting that of all the high and medium priority topics for the negotiations previously identified by the GNSO and the law enforcement community, only two were not fully addressed in the negotiations, viz. clarification of certain registrar responsibilities in relation to proceedings under the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP), and issues relating to privacy and proxy services, including their accreditation and Relay/Reveal procedures. The UDRP questions have, however, been dealt with in a separate PDP that concluded with the publication of a Final Report in June 2013 and its adoption by the GNSO Council in August 2013. Following a number of discussions on the topic, the GNSO Council formally approved the charter for this RAA Privacy & Proxy Services Accreditation Issues WG at its meeting on 31 October 2013. As ICANN has already committed itself to establishing an accreditation program for privacy and proxy service providers, the recommendations from this WG are expected to inform the development of such a program. In addition, there continues to be ongoing work on various aspects of the Whois gTLD registration data directory service, including the creation of an Expert Working Group (EWG) in December 2012 that is expected to assist ICANN in redefining the purpose and provision of gTLD registration data directory services. The EWG published its Initial Report in June 2013 and is currently working on its Final Report. In addition, the GNSO had previously commissioned a study on Whois Privacy & Proxy Abuse. The results of the study, performed by the National Physical Laboratory in the United Kingdom, were published for public comment in September 2013. It is expected that the study will be relevant to the deliberations of this WG. This WG is an opportunity for the GNSO and other interested community members to help develop specific recommendations that will assist ICANN in developing a privacy and proxy accreditation program in relation to gTLD registration data directory services.

Update to BC Adobe Connect room
by Benedetta Rossi 06 Nov '13

06 Nov '13

Dear BC Members, Please note that I have modified the BC's Adobe Connect room, and this change will be in place as of tomorrow's call to enhance members' experience on the AC room. The change to the AC room is that members are now able to listen to the conference call directly through the AC room, and if the attached instructions are followed by members, members will also be able to speak directly through the AC room. If members do wish to use the Adobe Room for speaking purposes, they are kindly asked to mute their microphone through the AC room when they are not speaking to avoid background noise. Alternatively members are still able to dial into the audio bridge as usual, if this is their preference. Please do let me know if you have any questions, Kind Regards, Benedetta Rossi BC Secretariat bc-secretariat(a)icann.org <https://community.icann.org/display/gnsobc/Home> https://community.icann.org/display/gnsobc/Home www.bizconst.org

FOR REVIEW: Draft BC comments on new study of privacy/proxy abuse
by Steve DelBianco 01 Nov '13

01 Nov '13

During last 2 BC member calls and in the 3-Oct email below, we called for volunteers to draft a BC comment on the new independent Study<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v1/url?u=http://www.icann.org/en/news/pub…> of Whois Privacy & Proxy Service Abuse. (link<http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/whois-pp-abuse-study-24sep13-en…>) Fortunately, Elisa Cooper and Susan Kawaguchi volunteered to review the study and draft our comments. The first draft is attached, giving BC members 12 days to review and comment before the 11-Nov deadline. Please REPLY ALL with any questions or suggestions. Thanks again to Elisa and Susan for taking the lead. From: Steve DelBianco <sdelbianco(a)netchoice.org<mailto:sdelbianco@netchoice.org>> Date: Friday, October 4, 2013 11:09 AM To: "Deutsch, Sarah B" <sarah.b.deutsch(a)verizon.com<mailto:sarah.b.deutsch@verizon.com>>, Susan Kawaguchi <susank(a)fb.com<mailto:susank@fb.com>> Cc: BC Executive Committee <bc-excomm(a)icann.org<mailto:bc-excomm@icann.org>>, Elisa Cooper <Elisa.Cooper(a)markmonitor.com<mailto:Elisa.Cooper@markmonitor.com>> Subject: Business Constituency comments on new study of privacy/proxy abuse On today's BC call, we talked about the new independent Study<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v1/url?u=http://www.icann.org/en/news/pub…> of Whois Privacy & Proxy Service Abuse. The BC advocated for this study several years ago. And these Results verify BC suspicion that bad actors use P/P to avoid identification. But there are many important findings here, and we need volunteers to analyze and draft BC comments.

29-Oct Workshop on gTLD Domain Collisions
by Steve DelBianco 01 Nov '13

01 Nov '13

The BC was well represented Tuesday at a Workshop on new gTLD Collisions, hosted by the Online Trust Alliance. (link<http://gtld-collision.eventbrite.com> to event). I opened with "Setting the Stage" (link<https://otalliance.org/events/gTLD/ppts/Oct-2013%20OTA%20SSR%20Workshop%20-…> to presentation). If you're a fan of Breaking Bad you'll like my final slide (below). If you're not a fan of the series, you'll conclude that I have entirely too much time on my hands. Marilyn Cade moderated a lively session on Collision Mitigation by ISPs, Infrastructure Providers & Business, where Sarah Deutsch presented Verizon's concerns about collisions. Former BC member Mikey O'Connor was also on the panel. Phil Corwin made interventions from the floor. Microsoft and Fairwinds were also there, and other BC members joined remotely. I will follow-up soon with take-aways from the conference. Hint: we should insist that ICANN accept our specific ideas for improving the new Framework for Collision Management — before they put a study out for bid by outside experts. --Steve [cid:A262094D-1758-412F-8D4C-E989FB5237CE]
