ICANN Chairs, Some of you are aware that I've been working with a handful of people on a more general and more complete framework for the collection, labelling and disclosure of DNS registration data. We formed a non-profit, Edgemoor Research Institute, and created Project Jake. Our website is https://www.edgemoorresearch.org . In conjunction with CircleID, we have scheduled a pair of webinars on 6 Feb and 27 Feb to share our results publicly. The CircleID announcement is now on their website at https://circleid.com/posts/beyond-whois-towards-a-new-framework-of-internet-... The zoom link to the webinar will be posted later, and we will send a follow up announcement. We are not proposing specific policies. Instead, we are proposing a framework and model for representing policies. The framework and model are intended to accommodate a wide range of policies across the ccTLD, gTLD and RIR spaces. This work has been outside of the formal ICANN policy development process but has involved a number of people from some of the ICANN constituencies. And although our work has been carried out separately from the ICANN policy development policy process, we believe the concepts and approach are applicable to the gTLD registration data policies for collection and disclosure.
