Hi, All,

Per the additional comments on the list, I’ve updated this Section 2 document slightly, and I’ve incorporated additional questions into this document to continue our discussion next week.

On our upcoming call on Tuesday, 31 January, at 15:00 UTC, discussion on this Section 2 document will pick up at Section II.E, Terms and Conditions.

Update on ICANN58 Meeting

It has been decided that we will have a half-day IRT meeting at ICANN58, on Saturday, 11 March, in the afternoon (I have requested space for the three afternoon time slots—so we will have space from 1:45-6:30). I apologize for the late notice on the approved day. As this is an official meeting day, I realize there may be conflicts, but I hope that you can attend so that we can make the most of this time. If you have questions, please let me know.

Initial Discussion Question

Before we dive back into Section 2 on Tuesday, I’m going to ask for your feedback about one set of recommendations. The recommendations are as follows:

(see P13, item 15) A uniform set of minimum mandatory criteria that must be followed for the purpose of reporting abuse and submitting requests (including requests for the Disclosure of customer information) should be developed. Forms that may be required by individual P/P service providers for this purpose should also include space for free form text. P/P service providers should also have the ability to “categorize” reports received, in order to facilitate responsiveness. P/P service providers must also state the applicable jurisdiction in which disputes (including any arising under the Illustrative Disclosure Framework in Annex B) should be resolved on any forms used for reporting and requesting purposes.

(see p.64) The WG also recommends that the use of standard forms and other mechanisms that would facilitate the prompt and accurate identification of a Relay request be explored during implementation (e.g. drop-down menus in a provider’s web-based forms or fields that would require the filling in of a Requester’s contact details, specifying the type of request or other basic information).

These recommendations seem to indicate that this implementation should deliver (a) minimum mandatory criteria and required processes for abuse reports, information requests, and relay requests, by (b) developing a list of standard categories for requests to PP service providers and (c) identifying any specific requirements for the individual types of requests or reports.

Can the IRT provide any further guidance regarding what the PDP WG intended here or confirm whether this understanding is correct?
