Re: [council] For your review: Draft Response - Registration Directory Service Review Team (RDS-WHOIS2-RT) Final Recommendations
by Marie Pattullo June 23, 2020

June 23, 2020

Dear Caitlin, dear all Many thanks for the attached draft. On behalf of the BC: 1. Recommendation CC.1: Our concerns around inaccurate registrant data, of which this is another aspect, are well known – as are those of other parts of the community, including the GAC (noting their comments and letter during ICANN68). · Substance: As the RT said, if the WHOIS record is public then the true status should be on display with the notation: “domain name is suspended due to incorrect data”. Further, in such cases the registrar should not be able to remove the suspension without receiving confirmation that the data was correct. · Process: while your explanation that the wider subject of accuracy is (unfortunately) not going to be dealt with by the current EPDP is correct, the phrase “If and when the Council decides to request an Issue Report on data accuracy” is quite dismissive and could be read as this subject being put permanently on ice. In the light of the concerns expressed, inter alia, by the BC and the GAC, could we be more proactive? Suggested amendment: “If and when [T]he Council is actively discussing the need for, and scope of, decides to request an Issue Report on data accuracy, in which Recommendation CC.1 could be included for consideration, if this item has not been addressed in the next round of contractual negotiations between ICANN org and the Contracted Parties (as directed by the Board).” 2. Recommendation CC.4: it should not be contentious that any adopted policy should be measured, audited, tracked, reported and enforced. Unfortunately, many policies have gone into effect without anyone in Compliance tracking (etc.) whether they are complied with in practice, which does seem to render the effort to adopt those policies as redundant. Not stating that in our reply seems to be a missed opportunity. As ever, we’re happy to discuss this further. Best Marie From: council <council-bounces(a)gnso.icann.org> On Behalf Of Caitlin Tubergen Sent: Friday, June 12, 2020 12:11 AM To: council(a)gnso.icann.org Subject: [council] For your review: Draft Response - Registration Directory Service Review Team (RDS-WHOIS2-RT) Final Recommendations SENT ON BEHALF OF COUNCIL LEADERSHIP Dear Councilors: Please find attached a draft response to the ICANN Board re: the two Registration Directory Service Review Team (RDS-WHOIS2-RT) Final Recommendations passed through to the GNSO Council from the ICANN Board. Keith, Pam, and Rafik have kindly provided a draft for your review. Please review the draft and provide suggested edits (if any) by Thursday, 25 June. Thank you. Best regards, Caitlin Tubergen Policy Senior Manager, GNSO Support From: Caitlin Tubergen <caitlin.tubergen(a)icann.org<mailto:caitlin.tubergen@icann.org>> Date: Wednesday, March 18, 2020 at 3:24 PM To: <council(a)gnso.icann.org<mailto:council@gnso.icann.org>> Subject: Board action - Registration Directory Service Review Team (RDS-WHOIS2-RT) Final Recommendations Sent on behalf of the Multi-stakeholder Strategy & Strategic Initiatives (MSSI) department: Dear GNSO Councillors, The purpose of this note is to highlight the 25 February 2020 Board action on the Registration Directory Service Review Team (RDS-WHOIS2-RT) Final Recommendations - see https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2020-02-25-en. ICANN org wishes to notify you that the ICANN Board resolved to pass through two recommendations to the GNSO Council, in whole or in part, for your consideration, as documented in the scorecard<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/resolutions-board-action-rds-wh…> associated with the Board resolution<https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2020-02-25-en>. Specifically, please see below Recommendations CC.1 and CC.4 RDS-WHOIS2 Recommendation CC.1: “The ICANN Board should initiate action intended to ensure that gTLD domain names suspended due to RDS (WHOIS) contact data which the registrar knows to be incorrect, and that remains incorrect until the registration is due for deletion, should be treated as follows: (1) The RDS (WHOIS) record should include a notation that the domain name is suspended due to incorrect data; and (2) Domain names with this notation should not be unsuspended without correcting the data.” Board resolution: The Board approved this recommendation and directed this item “to be included in the next round of contractual negotiations with the Contracted Parties”, with a note that “it cannot require or guarantee any negotiation outcomes”. The Board also noted that “this is an area that the GNSO Council might wish to take into a policy development process separate from any recourse to the policy development process that might be incorporated into the negotiation process”, and passed through this recommendation to the GNSO Council “for purposes of considering such initiation”. Recommendation CC.4: “The ICANN Board should recommend the GNSO adopt a risk-based approach to incorporating requirements for measurement, auditing, tracking, reporting and enforcement in all new RDS policies.” Board resolution: The Board passed the recommendation through to the GNSO Council, “with reference to documentation of clarifications received from RDS-WHOIS2 Implementation Shepherds in the 29 January 2020 discussion with the RDS Board Caucus Group”, i.e. “this recommendation could be directed to the GNSO”. Additionally, we would like to highlight the following language of the Board resolution: “in passing this recommendation through, the Board is neither accepting nor rejecting the recommendation. The Board is careful to respect the remit and roles of the different parts of the ICANN community and is not directing Board or ICANN org action that would usurp another group's remit”. These recommendations are for your consideration. Background The Registration Directory Service (RDS) Review is one of the four Specific Reviews anchored in Section 4.6 of the ICANN Bylaws. The RDS-WHOIS2 Review Team (RDS-WHOIS2-RT) produced 22 final recommendations for Board consideration and released its Final Report<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/rds-whois2-review-03sep19-en.pdf> on 3 September 2019. The RDS-WHOIS2-RT Final Report is the culmination of over two years of work by 11 review team members, representing over 1,000 hours of meetings and countless more hours of work. As required by section 4.6<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article4.6> of ICANN Bylaws, the Final Report was published for public comment<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/rds-whois2-rt-final-report-2019-10-08…> to inform Board action on the final recommendations. The Board took action on each of the 22 recommendations produced by the RDS-WHOIS2-RT https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2020-02-25-en. The Board’s action on each recommendation is documented in the scorecard published at https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/resolutions-board-action-rds-wh…. We thank you for your collaboration and would welcome any updates on your progress in addressing, as appropriate, these recommendations, to be included into ICANN org’s reporting. Please let us know whether you have any questions. Thank you. Best regards, Multi-stakeholder Strategy & Strategic Initiatives (MSSI) department

Important Update - ICANN68 to be Held as Zoom Webinars - ICANN

The individuals responsible for these disruptions were removed from the sessions by the Meetings Technical Services team as quickly as possible. To reduce these types of interruptions in the short term, some participant features were disabled, including the ability for participants to unmute their own microphones and rename themselves on the participant list. In other instances, chat between participants was also disabled. We do not take these incidents lightly and are working diligently to mitigate any future disruptions. All remaining ICANN68 sessions will be held using a password-protected Zoom Webinar format, with the exception of the Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC), pending further evaluation by GAC leadership. The event schedule, https://68.schedule.icann.org/ [68.schedule.icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__68.schedule.icann.org_…>, will be updated daily to reflect the changes to the Zoom participation links. All other services, such as remote simultaneous interpretation and real time transcription, are not impacted by this change. Please note that if you have exported any session information to your calendar, the links will not update automatically. To update your calendar, you will need to export the new information as it becomes available. The Participation Tools [68.schedule.icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__68.schedule.icann.org_…> section of the event website has been updated with information on how to use Zoom Webinars. We encourage all participants who are unfamiliar with how to participate in Zoom Webinars to review this information. We appreciate your understanding and will provide additional information as it becomes available.

GNSO Project List - 19 June 2020
by policy＠bacinblack.com June 19, 2020

June 19, 2020

Dear All, Please find attached the latest version of the GNSO Council's Projects List for the meeting on 24 June 2020. Per the agenda, the Council will not review the project list in detail. However, after your review and should you find an area that you have questions or parts that need clarification, you will have the opportunity to do so under agenda item #2. https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocouncilmeetings/Final+Proposed+Agend a+24+June+2020 Key Structural Changes: * You will notice a cleaner version of the project list summary page due to some recent enhancements to streamline updates to this work product. * A new section has been added labelled "Planning". This is work-in-progress pending the final development of the next generation program management tool. There are several projects listed in this section to draw attention to largest efforts/decisions ahead of the GNSO Council, but this section will likely evolve to a single row with a pointer to the new tool. We may not have enough time for the June Council meeting to review the program management tool in detail, but the Council leadership will determine next steps in this regard. * For individual projects, the % Complete graphs were replaced with a numeric value. This change is mostly to streamline monthly updates, but the prior version of the graph was also difficult to detect % level with accuracy and noted changes from month to month. However, EPDP-P2 will maintain this style until it delivers its final report as to maintain consistency with prior monthly reporting of the project package as defined in PDP3.0. Key Project Changes since May 2020: * Transfer Policy Issue Report - Resolution submitted for Council consideration at the June meeting. * EPDP-Phase 2 - PCR submitted for Council consideration extending the EPDP to 30 July for delivery of its Final Report on the SSAD (Priority 1 items). * CCWG-Auctions - migrated to the "5-Council Deliberation" phase for consideration by the GNSO Council in July. I hope you'll find this helpful and I'm happy to answer further questions on the list in the meantime. Thank you. B Berry Cobb @berrycobb GNSO Policy Consultant
