ICANN Org: Update on legal vs. natural differentiation study
by Steve DelBianco May 20, 2020

May 20, 2020

Today we discussed getting data on domain registrations by legal persons vs natural persons. Please see below an update on the legal vs. natural differentiation study from Karen Lentz at ICANN Org. = Dear EPDP Team members, I am writing to provide you with an update on ICANN org’s work on the study regarding differentiating between legal and natural persons (Ph 1 Rec 17.2). Thank you to those of you who provided your input in the questionnaire we did in March and helped to share it. We received over 200 responses. We are finishing our analysis of this and other information and are working to make the output as useful as possible to the discussions. We are nearly complete with the report, but need a couple more weeks to fully synthesize and present all of the information. We understand the interest around this topic and are working to have this ready to share as soon as possible. We have noted the various inputs and discussions in the EPDP Team for options around Priority 2 items including differentiation between legal and natural persons. We are ready to support next steps as determined by team, and hope this update is useful to those considerations. Thank you Karen -- Karen Lentz Senior Director, Policy Research & Data Services Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN)

Hello Steve and all, This is a follow-up to let you know that I have pasted BC’s comments into the Google Spreadsheet (please see row 51): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VX5swylTsUMDOZu5t_a2bhohiqUDnLQg7Yq… Good news is that the vast majority of Steve’s work (i.e., inserting comments in the Google Forms) has already been recorded in the Google spreadsheet. I only pasted about eight cells of comments (between Column GA and GH, toward the end). I have cross-referenced the PDF document to make sure the rest of comments recorded in the Google Spreadsheet are consistent; only a couple of cells needed update. You are welcome to double check row 51. If you detect any error, or would like to update any comments, please let me know. Again, thank you very much for your patience while we are seeking to develop a more user-friendly public comment submission mechanism. Best Regards, Ariel From: Ariel Liang <ariel.liang(a)icann.org> on behalf of Policy Staff <policy-staff(a)icann.org> Date: Monday, May 4, 2020 at 8:11 PM To: Steve DelBianco <sdelbianco(a)netchoice.org> Cc: BC List <bc-gnso(a)icann.org>, Chantelle Doerksen <chantelle.doerksen(a)icann.org> Subject: Re: [Ext] Business Constituency (BC) Response to Phase 1 Initial Report of Review of All Rights Protection Mechanisms in All gTLDs Hello Steve, Thank you for forwarding the comments in PDF. I will insert them into the Google Spreadsheet manually. Tech-support is looking into the character limit issue (unfortunately there is a lack of transparency from Google regarding the exact cumulative character count). Thank you for your time and efforts. We hope to be able to find a better solution in the future to facilitate public comment. Best Regards, Ariel From: Steve DelBianco <sdelbianco(a)netchoice.org> Date: Monday, May 4, 2020 at 7:17 PM To: Policy Staff <policy-staff(a)icann.org> Cc: BC List <bc-gnso(a)icann.org>, Chantelle Doerksen <chantelle.doerksen(a)icann.org> Subject: [Ext] Business Constituency (BC) Response to Phase 1 Initial Report of Review of All Rights Protection Mechanisms in All gTLDs Ariel and Staff – after 2 hours of pasting answers into the online survey, we got the dreaded error, “Your response is too long”. So we are once again handing you a PDF with all of our responses to all of the survey questions (attached). It will now be your task to paste the answers into the forms. We tried (again), but this is the 4th time your survey response method has failed. Thanks to BC members who drafted these responses: Andy Abrams, Jay Chapman, Mason Cole, Zak Muscovitch, Marie Pattullo, and David Snead. Our response was approved in accord with our Charter. -- Steve DelBianco Vice Chair for Policy Coordination ICANN Business Constituency (BC)
