Dear Small Team members,
Please see attached ICANN org’s data dictionary for the Registration Data Request Service. This document provides all the data fields captured in the system from both requestor and registrar sides, in a more digestible
manner than the ones in the Design Paper.
Please note, this document is being shared for the purpose of transparency and to showcase that the reporting criteria that are specified in the Addendum can be achieved with the data elements being collected.
Additionally, our aim is that this document can aid in the Small Team’s discussion should it wish to add additional reporting criteria.
We would like to add that ICANN org will not share any raw data collected through the System with external parties outside the System. While we understand the importance of transparency and accountability, we
also want to ensure that ICANN org respects the privacy and the confidentiality of the requests logged through the system. The monthly reports will provide the necessary metrics as detailed in the Addendum, along with any other metrics deemed necessary by
the Small Team to the extent that the data is available in a systematic manner, with the metrics being based on numerical and usage data. It should be noted that certain data elements listed in the data dictionary, for example, names of requestors, evidence
and attachments, will not be analyzed or used as metrics for any other purpose that would go beyond gathering usage data.
ICANN org
ensured that the principles of privacy-by-design are embedded in the System’s design and development from its inception. Principles such as role-based data access limitation, data minimization, and data retention, were carefully considered and
the publication of raw data would violate these principles.
It is also important to remember that the purpose of this proof-of-concept system is not to perform contextual or content analysis, for example, evaluating the legitimacy of registrars’ disclosure decisions or
analyzing outcome trends. We want to emphasize that GNSO Council's request and the ICANN Board's direction is to implement a cost-effective system that will simplify the process for submitting and receiving requests for nonpublic gTLD registration data for
both the requestors and registrars and to report on usage of this system to help inform the Council–Board consultations on the next steps for the SSAD recommendations.
