Hi all,

with a culpable delay, due to a concatenation of unfortunate circumstances, here goes a first draft of the Terms of Reference for Subgroup 5.

As you know, the WG we are talking about (GNSO PDP WG to Establish a Policy Framework for a Next-Generation gTLD Registration Directory Service to Replace WHOIS, henceforth PDP WG Next-Gen RDS) has started to work. There have been two calls so far, so it is the right time for us to start our work as a subgroup.

The call for volunteers is still open (https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2016-01-04-en). One can be an individual member or a list observer; please note that observers can become members at any time during the process. Do remember to fill your SOI on the ICANN website (https://community.icann.org/display/gnsosoi/New+SOIs) as this is requisite to participate. There is a wiki with a number of relevant documents and info: https://community.icann.org/x/QIxlAw to get ready for the work [0]

Please read, comment and amend the below. Be aware that the ToR might require some adjustments as we see how the work of the PDP WG evolves/is organized.

In view of moving forward with this and catching up with the time we have wasted (once again, apologies), it would be nice to hear back from all of you

I have set up a doodle for our first call: http://doodle.com/poll/9ymzm6x7i3qsr76f I am bad with time zones, so I hope I suggested some reasonable solutions (I tried to take into account our members in Asia) — if not, please suggest otherwise.

Best, Stefania

*-----------------------------* *Subgroup 5 - Terms of Reference, draft 0.1*

*0. Mandate*

--- Follow the work of the PDP WG to Establish a Policy Framework for a Next-Generation gTLD Registration Directory Service to Replace WHOIS (Next-Gen RDS)

--- Explore human rights implications of the proposals coming out of the WG on Next-Gen RDS

*1. Output***

--- Provide regular updates to the CCWP HR

--- Coordinate human rights-informed input to the WG on Next-Gen RDS

--- Comment on the proposals coming out of the WG on Next-Gen RDS

--- Provide input to subgroup 2 for what concerns WHOIS/Next-GenRDS-related examples

*2. Calls*

Bi-monthly

*3. Procedural notes*

Members of subgroup 5 should become members (or at least observers) of the WG*.

The WG is intended to create a new policy framework (most likely in the form of recommendations) capable of balancing diverse interests to meet needs for gTLDregistration data. It is a large group, with some 134 members and 90 observers (as per February 2). As the WG evolves and process becomes clearer, we might need t reconsider these ToR, and define the scope of our work.
