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)

Re: [bc-gnso] [Ext] Business Constituency (BC) Response to Phase 1 Initial Report of Review of All Rights Protection Mechanisms in All gTLDs
by ICANN Policy Calendar May 5, 2020

May 5, 2020

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.

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.

Business Constituency (BC) comment on Name Collision Analysis Project (NCAP) Study 1
by Steve DelBianco March 31, 2020

March 31, 2020

Below (and attached) is the comment of ICANN’s Business Constituency (BC), regarding the Name Collision Analysis Project (NCAP) Study 1. (https://www.icann.org/public-comments/ncap-study-1-2020-02-13-en ) The BC appreciates the work of SSAC and of the Study authors, and offers brief comments on just two sections of the Study: Section 4. Evidence of harm from prior experience. The Study explains there is only scant data in evidence of collisions. The BC is concerned that an apparent lack of evidence might lead SSAC and ICANN to become casual or complacent about collision risks in the next round of gTLD expansion. The Study explains the difficulty of getting reliable evidence, so continued mitigation seems prudent. That would be especially true for .home, .corp, and .mail. Section 5. the purpose and scope of upcoming study 2 and Study 3. The author of this Study seems to suggest that data sets and further data studies may not be warranted: “It is not obvious that additional datasets would be needed for Studies 2 and 3. Information on previous and recent leakage of corp, home, and mail should already be captured in the DITL and ORDINAL datasets. A current dataset for corp.com could be valuable for comparing current leakage of the corp domain to 2014-era leakage. Similar datasets for the home and mail counterparts to corp.com (e.g., home.com and mail.com) might also be valuable, although much of the same information might be available through the DITL and ORDINAL datasets. As for identifying causes of name collisions, they have already been established in some cases, usually by individuals researching a particular leaked TLD to find its origin. There is unlikely to be any dataset that would contain root causes; identifying root causes is generally going to require research on a case-by-case basis. Based on previous research and studies, such as [76], it seems quite likely that there is not a single root cause for most name collisions, but rather several types of root causes.” (page 39 of the Study) The BC is also not convinced that we need additional data sets and studies, and defers to SSAC to make that determination. But the BC does support further research on case-by-case basis when collision potential or problem is reported. -- This comment was drafted by Mark Svancarek and Steve DelBianco and was approved in accord with our charter. -- Steve DelBianco Vice Chair for Policy Coordination ICANN Business Constituency (BC)
