Re: [Gnso-epdp-team] Recommendation on Web Forms

Hi all, As noted, we are supposed to “consider specific proposals that provide sufficient safeguards…” The proposal around web forms is such a proposal. As such, we should include it in the initial report so we can solicit public comments.

Groups that requested additional time to consider this topic, which include ALAC, GAC and SSAC, will be responsible to come forward with concrete proposals to address this topic. This consideration is expected to address: i. Whether or not unique contacts to have a uniform anonymized email address is feasible, and if feasible, whether it should be a requirement. ii. If feasible, but not a requirement, what guidance, if any, can be provided to Contracted Parties who may want to implement uniform anonymized email addresses. For clarity, the GNSO Council is not directing any particular outcome on either topic, but as manager of the PDP, it is sharing its expectations with regards to which questions are expected to be addressed as part of the EPDP Team’s deliberations. Consistent with the PDP Manual, the GNSO Council does expect that all the required steps are followed in the consideration of these issues which may include further public comment on an Initial Report and a Final Report that would be considered an addendum to the EPDP Phase 2 Final Report. Web form requirements are not considered here, and the relevant recommendation is not described as open for review. Web form requirements are out of scope for this EPDP Phase 2a. -- Sarah Wyld, CIPP/E Policy & Privacy Manager Pronouns: she/her swyld(a)tucows.com<mailto:swyld@tucows.com> +1.416 535 0123 Ext. 1392 [cid:image001.png@01D75173.3F1CCD20] From: Alan Greenberg via Gnso-epdp-team<mailto:gnso-epdp-team@icann.org> Sent: May 25, 2021 1:56 PM To: Volker Greimann<mailto:vgreimann@key-systems.net> Cc: gnso-epdp-team(a)icann.org<mailto:gnso-epdp-team@icann.org> Subject: Re: [Gnso-epdp-team] Recommendation on Web Forms Volker, if you and the other registrars agree to be bound by contractual limitations of what a web form should contain as set by the Phase 1 IRT (presuming it agrees to take this on), I would consider it.

So that leaves us with needing to take some other action to remedy the Phase 1 recommendation that is not working. Unless you are recommending starting a new PDP just to address this issue, this is a way to finesse it. We include it in our report and solicit input. And of course discuss it following the comment period. If indeed the instructions from the GNSO Council need to be changed (which I do not believe), that could happen after the public comment period. This Phase 2a DOES have the mandate to require some form of email address be used. So we ARE discussing a change to Recommendation 13.

Re: [Gnso-epdp-team] Recommendation on Web Forms
by Alan Greenberg May 25, 2021

May 25, 2021

I we had recommended that all registrars use some form of email contact, then this would not be an issue. But we did not, and ensuring viability of the web form is a direct result. Perhaps not one implicitly contemplated by the GNSO Council, but a direct result of our decisions to date.

Re: [Gnso-epdp-team] Recommendation on Web Forms
by Alan Greenberg May 25, 2021

Volker, if you and the other registrars agree to be bound by contractual limitations of what a web form should contain as set by the Phase 1 IRT (presuming it agrees to take this on), I would consider it. I have not heard such agreements. Phase 2a is discussing email contact to registrants. That is Phase 1 Recommendation 13. This is not expanding the scope of this PDP phase.

Re: [Gnso-epdp-team] Recommendation on Web Forms
by Alan Greenberg May 25, 2021

May 25, 2021

Volker et al, The Chair suggested that this issue should be addressed, but by the Phase 1 IRT. I believe that he was correct in that the issue does need to be addressed but do not believe that is a real possibility, since the Phase 1 policy did not imply and web form content requirements. So that leaves us with needing to take some other action to remedy the Phase 1 recommendation that is not working. Unless you are recommending starting a new PDP just to address this issue, this is a way to finesse it. We include it in our report and solicit input. And of course discuss it following the comment period. If indeed the instructions from the GNSO Council need to be changed (which I do not believe), that could happen after the public comment period. This Phase 2a DOES have the mandate to require some form of email address be used. So we ARE discussing a change to Recommendation 13. If we choose NOT to do that, we need to make sure the remaining policy is viable. So I believe this recommendation is indeed in scope!

Recommendation on Web Forms
by Alan Greenberg May 25, 2021

May 25, 2021

Unfortunately, Mark and I did not get this in prior to the Friday deadline, but we still believe that it is crucial to include in the Initial Report. Although some form of email address is a far preferable solution for many on this EPDP, it appears that this will not be a recommendation. As it stands, the EPDP Recommendation #13 which is supposed to facilitate communications with the registrant does not achieve its goal. Many registrars are using web forms, and in many cases, they are effectively useless. As an example, one common example is a form that simply lets the requestor select one of three messages (Domain name or content is being used in malware, or for spam or abuse; Domain name or content is infringing on a trademark or violating local laws or regulations; or Research or other purpose). It has been suggested that this matter be referred to the Phase 1 IRT, but without a recommendation saying that the policy may set web form content, there is no way for the IRT to establish such enforceable rules. Accordingly, the Initial Report must include a new Recommendation: Recommendation The Phase 1 Recommendation 13 should be amended to include: Should a Registrar choose to use a web form, that form must allow at the requester to specify the Subject of the email to be send (up to 64 characters) and a free-form text message of up to 512 characters to be included in the communication to the registrant.

Dear EPDP Team, As you know, we are rapidly approaching the Initial Report publication deadline. Leadership has worked with the Staff Support Team on producing the final draft versions of the write ups, which have now been combined in clean form as section 3 of the draft Initial Report (see https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1TW3Z-s6DzS2QsV_VwJ6iUQTvKVIXQrmG) to allow for a holistic review and allow your groups to identify any “cannot live” with items. In addition, we would like to highlight the following: 1. In those cases where it did not seem we’ve been able to arrive at a common position, we have tried to reflect the positions that have been expressed and are encouraging contributors to the public comment forum to provide specific input on the issue at hand that will hopefully allow the EPDP Team in the next phase of its work to come to a common understanding. This approach has been applied, for example: on the question of whether the adding of a standardized data element should be a requirement (vs a suggestion) and whether those that decide to differentiate must make use of such a standardized data element; whether such a standardized data element should be redacted in the public RDDS, and; whether different terminology (best practices instead of guidance) should be used to refer to the current guidance . 2. Please make sure to review the staff redline version reference documents where you can see how changes were applied as well as responses to some of the comments that were not applied (for example, some comments restated concerns that were considered and addressed by the EPDP Team during its last meeting). 3. A recommendation was included after the deadline by the GAC Team in relation to feasibility of unique contacts. This may mean that not everyone will have had a chance to review this proposal and as such, it has been included in brackets and highlighted in yellow in the version that the group will review. Please use the “cannot live” with table to indicate if you have concerns about including this recommendation. 4. Concerns have been expressed by the GAC Team in relation to the inclusion of references to GDPR principles in the guidance write up, which was included at the request of the Registrar Team to provide further guidance to Contracted Parties. Alternative language has been suggested by the GAC Team to address this concern. We would like to ask the Registrar Team to review this language and to indicate if this works for them (see https://docs.google.com/document/d/103kazmQlFxRmecNosslsZhg6u0MwxoZ5DiZj86j…) If not, the GAC and the Registrar Team should connect with each other to see if/how these concerns can be addressed and report back to the EPDP Team by email by Tuesday 25 May at the latest. 5. Even though the guidance write up was not open for review, several comments/proposed edits were submitted. Those that seemed non-controversial/clarifying edits have been applied, but some others that seemed to be of a substantive nature have not been applied. If these rise to the level of “cannot live with” items, groups should flag these as such. There was also a specific suggestion by the GAC Team for an addition to the guidance. This suggestion has been included in brackets and highlighted in yellow in the version that the group will review. Please use the “cannot live with” table to indicate if you have concerns about including this addition. We appreciate that not all of your group’s concerns may have been addressed, but we would like to remind everyone to keep our deliverable in mind which is publishing an Initial Report for public comment. This is not yet the final stage. Of course, if there are further specific questions you think should be called out as part of the public comment period to allow for new insights to be provided that may help the EPDP Team to come to agreement on some of the outstanding issues, please feel free to suggest these. As we are approaching our publication date, we would also like to encourage you to think about how the EPDP Team can ensure that public comment is focused on new ideas and information that has not been considered previously – we would like to avoid, to the extent possible, the EPDP Team having to spend time on views that have already been expressed and considered in the context of our deliberations. As you are aware, the EPDP Team has in previous phases used a google doc form to guide commenters in their contributions as the number of recommendations in the phase 1 and phase 2 report were substantial. In this case, as the recommendations are limited, this may not be the preferred approach, but at the same time we would like to avoid getting thesis-like submissions which may be difficult for the group to analyze and apply to the preliminary recommendations. We look forward to hearing your ideas and suggestions on how to address the public comment submissions. In order to allow each group time to review section 3 of the Initial Report, there will NOT be a meeting on Tuesday 25 May. Please use your time wisely. The deadline for flagging “cannot live with” items is Wednesday, 26 May at 12.00 UTC to allow the leadership team sufficient time to prepare the agenda and items to be discussed during our meeting on Thursday, 27 May. Best regards, Berry, Marika, and Caitlin
