by Saewon Lee Sept. 27, 2024

Sept. 27, 2024

Dear EPDP-IDNs Team Members, The deadline to provide feedback, including objections, for IG21 has now passed. No objections were received. Addition of a new Implementation Guidance 21 to supplement Final Recommendation 20 was agreed by full consensus. Herewith attached are the amended “[P2 Final Report] Leadership Proposed Consensus Designation” form and the “[P2 Final] FINAL OUTPUTS (ONLY)” document (both in pdf). The Consensus Call that started on 20 September 2024 will continue accordingly and the deadline will remain unchanged (Monday, 30 September 2024 at 22:30 UTC).

After the Team confirmed all Outputs last week, your support staff reached out to the ccNSO support staff for the ccNSO to be informed of the updates to Outputs 18-20 following the public comment process. Unfortunately, they provided us with feedback requesting that ccNSO’s consideration process be included again to Final Recommendation 20, to become: “…approved by the GNSO Council after consulting the ccNSO Council, prior to consideration by the ICANN Board.” Their rationale was that though not directly affected, ccTLDs that register IDNs at the second-level will be affected by the Guidelines and are expected to abide by them. Hence, the request was for a consultation mechanism to be included in the Output to ensure that the ccNSO Council is involved while the ccTLDs are informed throughout the whole process. To reflect ccNSO’s request while also considering the Team’s agreement, and so as not to interrupt the current work plan, the leadership proposes a new implementation guidance to supplement the current Final Recommendation 20, and the proposal is as follows: Implementation Guidance 21: "The GNSO Council should consult with the ccNSO Council prior to taking action on any future versions of the IDN Implementation Guidelines." (Current language for Consensus Call) Final Recommendation 20: “Any future versions of the IDN Implementation Guidelines must be approved by the GNSO Council prior to consideration by the ICANN Board.” Kindly review the proposal together with your respective groups and provide feedback through the mailing list by Thursday, 26 September 2024 at 23:59 UTC. If no objections are received by then, leadership will circulate the updated consensus designation document for the Team to continue participating in the consensus call (responding to the mailing list with accept or not accept) that started on 20 September 2024.

Sept. 26, 2024

Dear EPDP Team Members, We would like to remind you that, as set out in the EPDP Team Charter<https://community.icann.org/display/epdpidn/2.+Charter?preview=/166265992/1…>, only ‘Members’ appointed by their representative groups are expected to participate in the Consensus Call process. ‘Participants’ and ‘observers’ will not be able to participate. That said, we kindly ask that the ‘Members’ participating in the process respond on behalf of their representative groups. Members are expected to represent the view of their appointing organization and provide the official position of their appointing organization when participating in the consensus calls. For more details, please see ‘Section IV: Formation, Staffing, and Organization’ of the EPDP Team Charter<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/idns-epdp…>, which includes information on the ‘Working Group Model, Membership Structure, and the Membership Criteria.’ Much appreciated, EPDP-IDNs Support Staff on behalf of the EPDP-IDNs Leadership Team From: Donna austin <DonnaAustin605(a)hotmail.com> Date: Monday, September 23, 2024 at 10:15 PM To: Saewon Lee <saewon.lee(a)icann.org> Cc: "gnso-epdp-idn-team(a)icann.org" <gnso-epdp-idn-team(a)icann.org>, GNSO-Secs <gnso-secs(a)icann.org> Subject: [Ext] Re: [Gnso-epdp-idn-team] Leadership Proposal for IG21 (Additional Guidance to Supplement Rec.20) Hi Everyone Thanks for your indulgence on this one last request. We appreciate it is very late in the day, but given our previous discussions on this topic I don’t believe our approach to be controversial and therefore will be acceptable to everyone. Leadership did consider a number of options on how to deal with the feedback received, but we believe this is the most appropriate course of action and should not impact our efforts to finalise the report and provide it to the GNSO Council for their consideration. Many thanks for your understanding.

Re: New Proposal for IG15
by Saewon Lee Sept. 20, 2024

Sept. 20, 2024

Dear EPDP-IDNs Team, Sincere apologies if the language below for IG15 with the double quotes created any confusion for you all. Kindly find the final draft for IG15 that is pending confirmation below: [NEW Draft as of 12 Sep.] Implementation Guidance 15: “In order to allow a requestor to discover the allocated variant domain names for a given domain name, corresponding sponsoring registrars should accept and consider whether disclosure of this information should be granted. In considering whether to disclose the information, the corresponding sponsoring registrar should balance the interest of the requestor with those of the data subject, where such balancing is required by applicable law.” Kind regards, Saewon.

In considering whether to disclose the information, the "corresponding sponsoring" registrar should balance the interest of the requestor with those of the data subject, where such balancing is required by applicable law.” [Draft as of 05 Sep.] Implementation Guidance 15: “In order to allow an interested party to discover the allocated variant domain names for a given domain name, ICANN-accredited registrars and gTLD registry operators should accept requests for disclosure of this information and unless there are data privacy concerns, the information should be granted. In considering whether to disclose the information, the ICANN-accredited registrars and gTLD registry operators should balance the interest of the requestor with those of the data subject, where such balancing is required by applicable law.” Once again, leadership/staff greatly appreciate this new language to be taken back to each SG/C and confirm via mailing list by Wednesday, 18 September at 23:59 UTC, at the latest, if possible.

Regarding Rec 14: I believe the last sentence could be removed (i.e., “the exempted variant domain name….”) as it is confusing and it is not applicable in this instance, in my opinion. Unless the intention is different but needs rewording. This is my rationale; the requirement is to develop a mechanism to communicate between RY and RR. This communication mechanism (e.g., protocol, query/response transaction) should be agnostic to any particular status of a domain name or variant name. The exempted domain names per Rec 3 are no different. The query/response mechanism should not exclude any domain name string. In fact, the RR will need to know the information to handle the exempted domain name in the right manner. That is, they will be handled per Rec 3.

Kindly review the proposal together with your respective groups and provide feedback either through the mailing list or during the next Team meeting (5 September), if possible. Leadership/staff envisions the finalization of these Outputs by Thursday, 12 September, at 12:00 UTC. * Output 14 Recommendation 14: Rationale for change After EPDP Team deliberations, it became apparent that two concepts were being combined in PR 14 and IG 15. Firstly, registries and registrars need a mechanism to communicate between themselves, to determine what the allocated and allocatable variant domain names are for a given domain name, for a variety of reasons, but principally, to ensure that the same entity requirement is adhered to. Secondarily, an end user needs to be able to determine what the allocated variant domain names are (e.g., interest in registering a domain name or filing a URS complaint). Because of these two distinct purposes, it likely makes sense to delineate them into a separate recommendation and implementation guidance. (New Draft) Final Recommendation 14: “To account for the "same entity" principle and its implications for variant domain names, gTLD registry operators should work with ICANN-accredited registrars to provide information on the allocated variant domain names for a given domain name, including an indication of the source domain name(s) and initial source domain name of the variant domain set. The grandfathered variant domain names pursuant to Final Recommendation 3 are exempt from this requirement.” (Current Language within the Working Doc.) Final Recommendation 14: “To account for the “same entity” principle and its implications for variant domain names, ICANN org should work with relevant stakeholders to develop and enable a service to discover the allocated variant domain names for a given domain name, including an indication of the source domain name(s) and initial source domain name of the variant domain set. The grandfathered variant domain names pursuant to Final Preliminary Recommendation 3 are exempt from this requirement.” * Output 15 Implementation Guidance 15: Rationale for change Support staff reached out to ICANN Legal, to determine whether there may be data privacy concerns from disclosing the allocated variant domain names of a given domain name. Though the disclosure of allocated variant domain names may not directly expose personal data, it could reveal details about the registrant that may unintentionally compromise their privacy. As such, the recommendation from legal is to restrict public access to this information or avoid disclosure altogether. However, there are reasons that an end user may need this information. (New Draft) Final Implementation Guidance 15: “In order to allow an end user to discover the allocated variant domain names for a given domain name, registrars should accept and consider whether disclosure of this information should be granted. In considering whether to disclose the information, the registrar should balance the interest of the requestor with those of the data subject, where such balancing is required by applicable law.” (Current Language within the Working Doc.) Implementation Guidance 15 “Final Recommendation 14 is intended as a minimum requirement. A registry or a registrar may choose to enhance the behavior of the service to provide additional information or enable other methods to provide the following information (e.g., bulk services): 15.1 the required data elements for the given domain name in accordance with the Registration Data Policy; 15.2 all the other allocated variant domain name(s) under a given gTLD and its delegated gTLD variant label(s), if any; and 15.3 the source domain name used to calculate the variant domain set.” Thank you for your kind cooperation.

New Proposal for IG15
by Saewon Lee Sept. 19, 2024

Sept. 19, 2024

Dear EPDP-IDNs Team, Please find the newly proposed language for Implementation Guidance 15 compared to the previous version below: [NEW Draft as of 12 Sep.] Implementation Guidance 15: “In order to allow a requestor to discover the allocated variant domain names for a given domain name, "corresponding sponsoring" registrars should accept and consider whether disclosure of this information should be granted. In considering whether to disclose the information, the "corresponding sponsoring" registrar should balance the interest of the requestor with those of the data subject, where such balancing is required by applicable law.” [Draft as of 05 Sep.] Implementation Guidance 15: “In order to allow an interested party to discover the allocated variant domain names for a given domain name, ICANN-accredited registrars and gTLD registry operators should accept requests for disclosure of this information and unless there are data privacy concerns, the information should be granted. In considering whether to disclose the information, the ICANN-accredited registrars and gTLD registry operators should balance the interest of the requestor with those of the data subject, where such balancing is required by applicable law.” Once again, leadership/staff greatly appreciate this new language to be taken back to each SG/C and confirm via mailing list by Wednesday, 18 September at 23:59 UTC, at the latest, if possible. Much appreciated, Steve, Dan, and Saewon.

In particular, such policies should reflect the implementation of Final Recommendations 1, 3-65, and 14 andas well as Implementation Guidance 2 and 15.

Please refer to the updated language, unless there are any objections: (New Draft) Final Recommendation 14 [from Dennis]: “To account for the "same entity" principle and its implications for variant domain names, gTLD registry operators should work with ICANN-accredited registrars to determine a mechanism to communicate between each other to facilitate the registration and management of variant domain namesprovide information on the allocated variant domain names for a given domain name, including an indication of the source domain name(s) and initial source domain name of the variant domain set. The grandfatheredexempted variant domain names pursuant to Final Recommendation 3 are exemptexcluded from this requirement.” (New Draft) Implementation Guidance 15: “In order to allow an end userinterested party to discover the allocated variant domain names for a given domain name, ICANN-accredited registrars and gTLD registry operators should accept requests for and consider whetherdisclosure of this information and unless there are data privacy concerns, the information should be granted.

Regarding Rec 14: I believe the last sentence could be removed (i.e., “the exempted variant domain name….”) as it is confusing and it is not applicable in this instance, in my opinion. Unless the intention is different but needs rewording. This is my rationale; the requirement is to develop a mechanism to communicate between RY and RR. This communication mechanism (e.g., protocol, query/response transaction) should be agnostic to any particular status of a domain name or variant name. The exempted domain names per Rec 3 are no different. The query/response mechanism should not exclude any domain name string. In fact, the RR will need to know the information to handle the exempted domain name in the right manner. That is, they will be handled per Rec 3.

Hence, please provide any feedback or comments, including any support, through the mailing list, if possible, so as to conclude the text for Outputs 14-15 by our next Team Meeting. Much appreciated, Steve, Dan, and Saewon.

Kindly review the proposal together with your respective groups and provide feedback either through the mailing list or during the next Team meeting (5 September), if possible. Leadership/staff envisions the finalization of these Outputs by Thursday, 12 September, at 12:00 UTC. * Output 14 Recommendation 14: Rationale for change After EPDP Team deliberations, it became apparent that two concepts were being combined in PR 14 and IG 15. Firstly, registries and registrars need a mechanism to communicate between themselves, to determine what the allocated and allocatable variant domain names are for a given domain name, for a variety of reasons, but principally, to ensure that the same entity requirement is adhered to. Secondarily, an end user needs to be able to determine what the allocated variant domain names are (e.g., interest in registering a domain name or filing a URS complaint). Because of these two distinct purposes, it likely makes sense to delineate them into a separate recommendation and implementation guidance. (New Draft) Final Recommendation 14: “To account for the "same entity" principle and its implications for variant domain names, gTLD registry operators should work with ICANN-accredited registrars to provide information on the allocated variant domain names for a given domain name, including an indication of the source domain name(s) and initial source domain name of the variant domain set. The grandfathered variant domain names pursuant to Final Recommendation 3 are exempt from this requirement.” (Current Language within the Working Doc.) Final Recommendation 14: “To account for the “same entity” principle and its implications for variant domain names, ICANN org should work with relevant stakeholders to develop and enable a service to discover the allocated variant domain names for a given domain name, including an indication of the source domain name(s) and initial source domain name of the variant domain set. The grandfathered variant domain names pursuant to Final Preliminary Recommendation 3 are exempt from this requirement.” * Output 15 Implementation Guidance 15: Rationale for change Support staff reached out to ICANN Legal, to determine whether there may be data privacy concerns from disclosing the allocated variant domain names of a given domain name. Though the disclosure of allocated variant domain names may not directly expose personal data, it could reveal details about the registrant that may unintentionally compromise their privacy. As such, the recommendation from legal is to restrict public access to this information or avoid disclosure altogether. However, there are reasons that an end user may need this information. (New Draft) Final Implementation Guidance 15: “In order to allow an end user to discover the allocated variant domain names for a given domain name, registrars should accept and consider whether disclosure of this information should be granted. In considering whether to disclose the information, the registrar should balance the interest of the requestor with those of the data subject, where such balancing is required by applicable law.” (Current Language within the Working Doc.) Implementation Guidance 15 “Final Recommendation 14 is intended as a minimum requirement. A registry or a registrar may choose to enhance the behavior of the service to provide additional information or enable other methods to provide the following information (e.g., bulk services): 15.1 the required data elements for the given domain name in accordance with the Registration Data Policy; 15.2 all the other allocated variant domain name(s) under a given gTLD and its delegated gTLD variant label(s), if any; and 15.3 the source domain name used to calculate the variant domain set.” Thank you for your kind cooperation.
