Hi, Team.

For those of you unable to make it to today’s call, please find a recording here: https://icann.adobeconnect.com/p4maun572zp/.

I have attached the latest draft of the policy, which has a small change as a result of today’s call.  There are also a few numbering changes.  

There are a few things that we are awaiting feedback on.  Specifically, please take a look at:

(1) the definition of “Designated Agent” in paragraph 1(c). 

(2) the circumstances described in paragraph 2.3, specifically 2.3(iv).  (The IRT wanted to confirm that this gave registrars enough flexibility to update Whois information in the event of potential abuse). 

Also, I asked the members on the call about timing for coming into compliance once the policy is announced.  The default policy cycle is six months (https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/gdd-policy-change-calendar-13may15-en.pdf), but the members on the call today asked for registrars input on if six months is enough time.  We may, for example, choose to deviate from the standard six month cycle.

If you have any further comments on the attached draft or on the policy cycle timing, please provide feedback by Thursday, 30 July, two weeks from today’s date.

Thank you!

Kind regards,
