FOR FINAL REVIEW: BC comments on proposed new gTLD Registry Agreement
ICANN posted the final new gTLD Registry Agreement for public comment. (<http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/proposed-raa-22apr13-en.htm>link<http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/base-agreement-29apr13-en.htm>) On todays BC member call we discussed two minor edits to the BC comment draft. (attached) Note that this comment is based closely on BC's March comments on previous Registry Agreement (link<http://www.bizconst.org/Positions-Statements/BC%20Comment%20on%20new%20gTLD%20Registry%20Agreement%20FINAL.pdf%20>) Please do your final review by 8-Jun-2013 so that we can submit to ICANN by the deadline of 11-Jun. Any objections or edits should be sent as Reply to All. Thanks again to Elisa Cooper for work on this draft. -- Steve DelBianco Vice chair for policy coordination Business Constituency

<BC Comment on ATRT-2 questions [v1].docx>
Steve, Thanks for picking this up. I have tightened up the paragraph on the attached redline in two ways: Firstly the contract amendment is a following part of the same process. Secondly I have discovered that the whole RSEP process is actually a 2005 GNSO PDP (link) <http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/registry-services/final-rpt-registry-approv al-10july05> http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/registry-services/final-rpt-registry-approva l-10july05 so I think our recommendation needs to be to ask ATRT2 to a check implementation against this. I would like to see a mandatory public comment period, but as I read the PDP in Step 4 it is not mandatory If ICANN determines during the 15 calendar day "preliminary determination" period that the proposed registry service, does not raise significant Security or Stability (as defined below), or competition issues, registry operator or sponsoring organisation shall be free to deploy it upon such a determination. For the BC to ask for mandatory Public comment would be to ask for a new PDP. Yes? Perhaps we should leave that to ATRT2 who, I assume, will find that a complicated 2005 PDP is out of date in a new gTLD world. Best Chris Chaplow Managing Director Andalucia.com S.L.

As we've discussed before, there's a PDP (Policy Development Process) underway to consider requiring thick Whois for all gTLD registries — including legacy TLDs such as com and net. The Working Group published its Initial Report (here<http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/whois/thick-initial-21jun13-en.pdf>), concluding there are more benefits than disadvantages to requiring thick Whois for all gTLD registries. The Working Group recommends that thick Whois services should "become a requirement for all gTLD registries, both existing and future."

On page 2, can we please add one bullet: Requiring a ‘thick’ WHOIS would: • improve response consistency, • improve stability, • improve access to WHOIS data, and • provide a more level playing field for competition between Registries. • enhance consumer/user protection Rationale: we’re supposed to be ensuring that the DN system works for the benefit of users – not just registrars/registries. Consumers should have the right to know to whom they are giving their data, including credit card details.

Thank you Steve, Laura, Susan, J Scott and Elisa for a well drafted document that I believe is perfectly inline with business users interests as defined by our charter. If I might make a suggestion, even though it's out of scope of the EWG's work, I would love to see something in our opening comments about the fact that if the RDS model is adopted (or another unified model for managing gTLD registration data), it would be extremely beneficial for Internet users worldwide if ccTLD registries were also willing to work towards the adoption of the same, single-format, model. I think it's useful for commentors to the EWG's draft report to make this point, even though ccTLD managers abide by their own national laws and ways of doing things, because we all have a lot to gain from a more effective and more uniform registration data database. Apart from that suggestion, I have no other comments. The draft seems spot on to me and is supported by SVG Consulting Ltd.

<BC Comments - EWG Draft Model [v1].doc>
+1 Attached is a marked up version of the document. I have attempted to replace web and website with Internet and service (generally) and hope that my changes read properly. I believe it important to make the distinction between the web and Internet since the ARDS is used for much more than the web. I also included some comments and additions that I believe are necessary to include. In particular, I disagree with the assertion that there is no foundation for the belief that the scale of the ARDS make it vulnerable. Internet entities are vulnerable regardless of size but as they grow, they become increasingly attractive targets. ARDS will be attractive - or the Registrar community has been disingenuous about the scale of SPAM, customer loss, etc. that results from harvesting information via WHOIS. I have also added text related to Gated Access and concerns related to data aggregation and operation of such a critical resource necessarily dependent on PII of security professionals. These individuals face very real risks given the work they do, those they "oppose", and the penalties imposed for crimes they uncover. I hope we will consider the changes I have proposed.

I have attached an updated version. I'm quite happy with Stephane's addition but would ask J. Scott to offer alternative language for "entities" and to look with Yahoo to get a better understanding of the complexity and difficulty of operating a large-scale directory infrastructure, especially one that is by its nature sensitive. (see my comments within J Scott's comments) Any move from a freely available public WHOIS system to one that is mediated and subject to access controls requires careful consideration. Implementing a secure, internet-scale, global directory for "accredited" security professionals will be no small task.

Dear All: I have reviewed Bill's emails, his comments and those added by Stephane. I am fine with Stephane's comments so long as we all feel this wouldn't be a political bombshell (however realistic and practical it may be). As for Bill's suggestion about "entities".

I also included some comments and additions that I believe are necessary to include. In particular, I disagree with the assertion that there is no foundation for the belief that the scale of the ARDS make it vulnerable. Internet entities are vulnerable regardless of size but as they grow, they become increasingly attractive targets. ARDS will be attractive - or the Registrar community has been disingenuous about the scale of SPAM, customer loss, etc. that results from harvesting information via WHOIS.
I have also added text related to Gated Access and concerns related to data aggregation and operation of such a critical resource necessarily dependent on PII of security professionals. These individuals face very real risks given the work they do, those they "oppose", and the penalties imposed for crimes they uncover.
I hope we will consider the changes I have proposed.

Thank you Steve, Laura, Susan, J Scott and Elisa for a well drafted document that I believe is perfectly inline with business users interests as defined by our charter.
If I might make a suggestion, even though it's out of scope of the EWG's work, I would love to see something in our opening comments about the fact that if the RDS model is adopted (or another unified model for managing gTLD registration data), it would be extremely beneficial for Internet users worldwide if ccTLD registries were also willing to work towards the adoption of the same, single-format, model.
I think it's useful for commentors to the EWG's draft report to make this point, even though ccTLD managers abide by their own national laws and ways of doing things, because we all have a lot to gain from a more effective and more uniform registration data database.
Apart from that suggestion, I have no other comments. The draft seems spot on to me and is supported by SVG Consulting Ltd.

J. Scott, et. al., With regard to whether it will be a political bombshell or not, I cannot say, but as the GNSO Council liaison to the ccNSO Council I have come to appreciate the bright line they draw between the "g" and the "cc" name space. I suspect that even if Stephane's suggestion would not be the incendiary device you foretell, it would be a distraction from the more urgent matter of solving the directory services problem for the the gTLDs. I would vote not to include the language. My two cents.
