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

All the best,

Margie, Mark & Steve

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)
