FOR FINAL REVIEW TODAY: BC comment on Status Update from expert working group on gTLD Directory Services
Attached is the FINAL version of BC comments on the status report from EWG (Expert Working Group) on gTLD Directory Services. There were many excellent comments from BC members during the review period. Over the weekend, Jimson Olufuye, Marilyn Cade, and I did our best to consolidate and reconcile member comments and questions. Please give this a final review and REPLY ALL if we have missed or mis-stated any consensus comments. If there are no objections, I will submit this to the EWG by noon EST on Tuesday 4-Mar. -Steve From: Steve DelBianco <sdelbianco@netchoice.org<mailto:sdelbianco@netchoice.org>> Date: Monday, February 17, 2014 at 10:22 PM To: 'bc - GNSO list' <bc-gnso@icann.org<mailto:bc-gnso@icann.org>> Subject: [bc-gnso] FOR REVIEW: BC comment on Status Update from expert working group on gTLD Directory Services Attached are draft BC comments and questions on the Status Update from the expert working group on gTLD Directory Services. The EWG status update is here<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v1/url?u=http://www.icann.org/en/groups/ot...>, and described on this page<http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-11nov13-en.htm>. Comments close 28-Feb, so today begins a 12-day member review period. Thanks to BC members Jimson Olufuye, Tim Chen, and Susan Kawaguchi for this drafting work. Jimson is the CEO of Kontemporary, a systems Integration and ICT Consultancy firm. Though less than 10% of the company revenue is from domain businesses, he has interacted extensively with gTLD and ccTLD WHOIS registry systems. BC members are familiar with Susan's many years of work to improve WHOIS, first with eBay and now with Facebook. Susan was appointed to the WHOIS review team two years ago and is now a member of the EWG on Directory Services. Tim is CEO of DomainTools, whose products partly rely on whois data to help users understand who operates a given website or IP address, and to also make connections between domain names. DomainTools' clients include law enforcement, trademark attorneys, cybercrime investigators, brand protection agents, and a wide variety of professionals in the DNS industry. All BC members are invited to REPLY ALL with edits (using TRACK CHANGES, please). Note that the second half of this draft shows a dialog between Tim and Jimson regarding certain aspects of Directory Services. Based on member feedback, we will refine that section into additional points or questions for the EWG. - Steve DelBianco Vice chair for policy coordination
