Read the Revised ICANN Procedure for Handling Whois Conflicts with Privacy Law: Assessment and Next Steps[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_en_syste…> [PDF, 159 KB]. This paper is available for public comment through 12 June 2017. Feedback will be incorporated into a report of public comments and provided to the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council for their review and consideration. Comment on the Revised ICANN Procedure for Handling Whois Conflicts with Privacy Law: Assessment and Next Steps[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_public-2…>. In accordance with the ICANN Procedure for Handling Whois Conflicts with Privacy Law (Whois Procedure)[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_resource…>, this paper opens a review process to gather community input on the effectiveness of the revised Whois Procedure, which was made effective on 18 April 2017. Furthermore, as requested by the GNSO Council, ICANN is publishing this paper to provide analysis of and solicit community input on the practicality and feasibility of the triggers, as well as suggestions for moving forward with the review. Outputs from this assessment and comment process are expected to inform the next periodic review of the procedure. The Whois Procedure has recently been updated, although no ICANN-accredited registrar or registry operator to date has formally invoked the procedure. As a result, this analysis is based solely on community discussions and input received during the previous review[gnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__gnso.icann.org_en_draf…> [PDF, 155 KB], which related to allowing for evaluation of an additional trigger for invoking the procedure. It also draws upon ICANN's experience administering other processes where a contracted party is seeking ICANN's approval for new services, or waiving certain contractual requirements, as a point of comparison for the implementation of the procedure. About ICANN ICANN's mission is to help ensure a stable, secure and unified global Internet. To reach another person on the Internet, you have to type an address into your computer - a name or a number. That address has to be unique so computers know where to find each other.

Action Item from the GNSO Council call: Update on Jurisdiction Work Stream 2 subteam - Thomas Rickert
by Nathalie Peregrine May 26, 2017

May 26, 2017

Dear all, As a reminder, one of the Action items from the GNSO Council call on the 18 May 2017 was that Thomas Rickert as a follow up to the update he provided on the call, provide the Council with an additional update on the WS2 Jurisdiction sub team’s work to date. Please see his email below. Kind regards, Nathalie From: "rickert(a)anwaelte.de" <rickert(a)anwaelte.de> Date: Friday, May 26, 2017 at 4:06 PM To: Nathalie Peregrine <nathalie.peregrine(a)icann.org> Cc: "rickert(a)anwaelte.de" <rickert(a)anwaelte.de>, "gnso-secs(a)icann.org" <gnso-secs(a)icann.org> Subject: [Ext] Re: Reminder: Action Item from the GNSO Council call: Update on Jurisdiction Work Stream 2 subteam Dear Nathalie, Sorry for the delay. The current status of the Jurisdiction sub-group is as follows: * Currently working on completing the analysis of ICANN's past litigations with the sub-group - about 50% completed and pushing to complete by ICANN 59. * Currently working on analyzing responses to the Jurisdiction questionnaire - some in the sub-group was disappointed that there were only about 20 responses. Most responses did not find any issues with ICANN's jurisdiction of incorporation and did not provide any documentation relative to this. However a number brought up issues around OFAC, governments being asked to sign a contract with ICANN for a TLD or issues around certain names such as WINE. Again the sub-group is trying to complete this by ICANN 59. * The sub-group has received a response from ICANN legal regarding an initial list of questions with respect to jurisdiction and is currently awaiting a response to questions regarding the choice of law vs the Registry and Registrar agreements. * The work plan is focused on completing the above analyses and then returning to the work of identifying issues, if any, and proposing solutions to any issues identified. I am happy to answer more questions and if you need more detail or context, please let me know.
