We support Brian’s proposed Purpose 2 below, and note that without it – there are many gaps, including:

• Operationalizing and implementing new policies and contract provisions (RDAP, transfers, TM Clearinghouse, etc.)

• Conducting research using the contacts

• Coordinating cyber-attack responses such as Conficker & other cyber attacks

• Publishing Accuracy Reporting System (ARS) reports

• Conducting testing of new registrar/registries to ensure that the WHOIS systems work in the manner required by the contract

• Implementing & testing escrow deposits with 3^rd party escrow providers

That is actually done by the escrow providers, who then just report to ICANN. It is not curently impacted but I agree that Escrow should be a purpose of ICANN.

 

All the best,

Subject: [Gnso-epdp-team] Purpose 2

 

Hi all,

 

Following last week’s conversation about some EPDP members’ desire to have a bit more specificity in Purpose 2 (the irony of which is not lost on the IPC 😊), I propose the below:

 

Contributing to the maintenance of the security, stability, and resiliency of the Domain Name System in accordance with ICANN’s mission, specifically “maintenance of and access to accurate and up-to-date information concerning registered names and name servers.” (ICANN Bylaws, Annex G-1; ICANN Bylaws, Annex G-2)
