Hello All, I do not support suspending the RDS RT. We are reviewing how the recommendations of the first RT were implemented, impact of those recommendations and any new policies that have been created and or implemented since then. We are NOT reviewing how GDPR impacts WHOIS. To truly do that the RDS RT would have to wait several years since everything is a moving target. We have plenty to look at that may not be impacted by GDPR. If we suspend this RT then we lose one of the major tools the community has in accountability with the transition. My earlier comments were really making the point that the new responsibilities the IANA transition has given the SO/AC's need to be understood and acted upon. It is a work in progress and with time I think we will have the kinks worked out. Michele - Any one can be an observer to the RT.

In addition to bandwidth issue and in light of the discussions around ICANN budget and GDPR at ICANN61, perhaps the community should consider a deferral/pause of this review.

Also, see below excerpt of Goran's latest blog https://www.icann.org/ news/blog/budget-discussions-at-icann61:

"...and for the RDS Review, there is still significant work remaining to address the impacts of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) on the WHOIS system. Delaying either of these reviews would save many hours of volunteer time. Additionally, and more broadly, addressing the timing of reviews, and approach, will contribute to discussing how to make future reviews more efficient and more relevant. Deferring a review that will be impacted by current Policy Development Processes or other outside factors, could have significant savings on productivity and cost."

Kind regards,

Pam

Heather, Susan

Where does this leave the RDS Review Team in terms of adequate membership? I know Susan has raised concerns previously that there isn’t enough people to do the work.

Is it possible for the GNSO to recommend additional candidates to fill the vacancies left by the ccNSO’s decision not to appoint volunteers?

Dear Alan,

In May 2017, we informed the ICANN Board of Directors that the ccNSO did not find itself in a position to nominate candidates for the RDS/ WHOIS2 Review Team, and deferred participation in this specific review.

On 18 January 2018, the ccNSO Council again discussed its participation in the review. Following this discussion, by 16 February 2018, the ccNSO Council decided not to participate in the RDS/WHOIS2 specific review.

The ccNSO Council thanks the volunteers who sought endorsement of the ccNSO.

Kind regards,

Katrina Sataki,

Chair of the ccNSO
