Thick WHOIS Policy Implementation Status for IRT
by Dennis Chang Sept. 26, 2017

Sept. 26, 2017

Dear Thick WHOIS IRT, Below is a brief update on the project status; 1. The transition from Thin to Thick for .JOBS remains on schedule. On 1 August 2017 .JOBS began accepting Thick data from registrars. On 1 September 2017, their first monthly Transition Progress Metrics report was received per the policy “4.7 Between 1 August 2017 and 1 February 2019, Registry Operator SHALL provide to ICANN all Transition Progress Metrics for all registrars at minimum, Monthly by 23:59 UTC of the first day of the next month.” Per the report, over 2000 domain names have made the transition with multiple registrars participating. We will continue to provide updates as we receive them. 2. As previously reported<https://www.icann.org/news/blog/thick-whois-transition-update>, per a request from Verisign, the 1 August 2017 transition date for .COM and .NET, has been rescheduled to 29 November 2017. 3. Verisign and Registrar Stakeholder Group (RrSG) reached an impasse when they could not agree on a Registry-Registrar Agreement (RRA). Verisign believes that changes in this RRA are necessary to address the legal risk and obligation of accepting Thick WHOIS data. The RrSG has raised several concerns stating they need clarity regarding the impact of GDPR on ICANN contracts before proceeding with Verisign’s proposed RRA. 4. According to the RRA amendment procedure<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/rra-amendment-procedure-2015-04-06-en>, ICANN, as the ultimate approver of the RRA, is to work with the registrars and Verisign to attempt to resolve the registrars’ concerns prior to ICANN’s approval or rejection of the RRA. Since April of 2017, ICANN has facilitated multiple in person and telephonic meetings with Verisign and the RrSG leadership, but no significant progress has been made by either party. Recently, the RrSG has written<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/bunton-to-atallah-17au…> to ICANN organization requesting an extension to the Policy effective dates of 1 May 2018 and 1 February 2019. 5. ICANN60: A public session for the Thick WHOIS Policy Implementation Review Team has been requested for 1215-1315 on Monday, 30 October 2017. As we get closer to the meeting, we’ll confirm the time and location and provide a meeting invite for the IRT. — Kind Regards, Dennis S. Chang GDD Services & Engagement Program Director +1 213 293 7889 Skype: dennisSchang www.icann.org "One World, One Internet"

Thick WHOIS Policy Implementation: project status and the 15 Aug 2017 IRT meeting agenda
by Dennis Chang Aug. 8, 2017

Aug. 8, 2017

Dear Thick IRT, A couple of status items and a recommendation for you. Status: 1. The CL&D Policy is now effective with the effective date of 1 Aug 2017. A reminder message was sent to all registries with note on the template for the additional fields 0n 20 Jul 2017. The template has been updated (v2) and posted. https://community.icann.org/display/TWCPI/Documentation. Thank you all for your support and contribution throughout the implementation. This one is finally done as far as the IRT is concerned. We invite you to focus on the Transition policy only from here. 2. The Transition Policy web page has been updated with a news: “News - On 20 June 2017, Verisign requested an extension of the 1 August 2017 deadline to Verisign to begin accepting Thick WHOIS data from registrars. The 1 August 2017 data is an optional milestone to registrars to begin voluntarily submitting Thick WHOIS Data to the registry operator. On 29 June 2017, the ICANN organization approved the request for a 120-day extension and registrars may migrate registration data to the registry operator beginning on 29 November 2017. For more information please refer to The Thick WHOIS Transition Policy Update<https://www.icann.org/news/blog/thick-whois-transition-update>.” Published on: https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/thick-whois-transition-policy-2017-02…. Recommendation for August IRT meeting. 1. Next IRT meeting is scheduled for 15 Aug 2017. I do not have topics for the IRT to discuss and therefore recommend that we cancel this month’s meeting. 2. Does any member of the IRT have a suggestion of an agenda item? If so, please let us know by 11 Aug 2017. Otherwise, we’ll cancel this month’s meeting. The next meeting will be on 19 Sep 2017. — Kind Regards, Dennis S.
