Proposal for Merging CL&D and Translation & Transliteration Implementation
by Fabien Betremieux April 26, 2016

April 26, 2016

Dear IRT Members, As you may be aware, the ICANN board has directed staff to develop an implementation plan for the GNSO Recommendations on the Translation and Transliteration (T/T) of Contact Information (https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2015-09-28-en#1. b <https://features.icann.org/gnso-council-recommendations-translation-and-tra nsliteration-contact-information> ). More recently, the ICANN Board further directed staff to incorporate the recommendations of the Internationalized Registration Data (IRD) Working Group Final Report¹s into the T/T implementation plan where appropriate (https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2016-03-10-en#1. e) Considering our overarching goal to minimize impact on affected parties and to bundle related implementation where possible (per the GDD¹s policy change calendar at: https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/gdd-policy-change-calendar-13may 15-en.pdf), we are considering merging the implementation of the T/T and IRD recommendations into the Consistent Labeling and Display (CL&D) work stream of the Thick Whois Implementation. We would like to gather your thoughts on this proposal while we are similarly engaging with the T/T PDP Working Group chairs, and before we request consideration of this proposal by the GNSO Council. We¹ve identified a number of synergies between CL&D, RDAP, T/T and IRD that we believe will lower the marginal costs of implementation for both affected parties and ICANN: * T/T Implementation will primarily affect RDDS output * * T/T Implementation will require new extensions to EPP (language tag and T/T flag) as may be the case from CL&D (depending on the final implementation proposal) * T/T Implementation is recommended to be coordinated with the roll-out of RDAP (which is already synchronized with implementation of CL&D) * The data model for the T/T implementation is relatively consistent with the RDAP model and a ³harmonization exercise² between the two was recommended in the IRD Report * Instead of creating and managing a specific IRT for the T/T implementation, we could leverage the expertise we have gathered already in the Thick Whois IRT * Ultimately, contracted parties would be tasked with implementing a single package of consensus policies rather than several discrete one While we don¹t expect that such a merger would impact the transition from thin to thick of .COM, .NET and .JOBS, we have estimated that it would add at least 6 months to the timeline of the CL&D implementation. Ultimately, we believe that this is a more time- and resource-efficient option than recruiting a separate IRT for T/T and carrying out a separate implementation. Before we request that the GNSO Chairs include this proposal as an item on their Consent Agenda for their meeting on 12 May, we would like to gather your thoughts. We would appreciate if you could share your thinking in relation to the above proposal by next Thursday 28 April COB in your time zone. Thank you for your consideration Best Regards -- Fabien Betremieux Sr. Registry Services & Engagement Manager Global Domains Division, ICANN

Next IRT Meeting - Save The Date - Tues. 3 May 2016 at 18:00 UTC
by Fabien Betremieux April 19, 2016

April 19, 2016

Dear IRT Members, Based on feedback received on the doodle poll, we would like to ask you please save the date for our next IRT meeting: Tuesday 3 May 2016 at 18:00 UTC for 1 hour (other time zones: http://tinyurl.com/twirt-3may16) Please note that we will propose IRT meetings be held at this time every two weeks. We will follow-up with agenda, calendar invite and remote participation detail shortly. Best Regards -- Fabien Betremieux Sr. Registry Services & Engagement Manager Global Domains Division, ICANN From: Fabien Betremieux <fabien.betremieux(a)icann.org> Date: Tuesday, April 12, 2016 at 12:32 AM To: "gnso-impl-thickwhois-rt(a)icann.org" <gnso-impl-thickwhois-rt(a)icann.org> Subject: Scheduling of our Next IRT meetings: Early May, every 2 weeks ? Dear IRT Members, Thank you very much for your participation in the doodle poll last week. Unfortunately, we were not able to identify a time this week that would have allowed sufficient participation of both IRT members and required staff. Going forward, we will change tactics and schedule meetings in advance, at regular intervals, at a set time, on a given day of the week. Considering the progress made over the last few meetings and our current target of delivering a draft implementation plan for the transition from thin to thick in August, we propose that the IRT meets every two weeks in the next few months. Please let us know what you think of this proposal in response to this email at your earliest convenience. Regarding the our next IRT meeting, we propose to organize it during the first week of May. Please use to following doodle poll by this Thursday 14 COB in your time zone to share your availability: http://doodle.com/poll/9ptcmxq82r2nvmi7 Please also note that we propose to use your availability in this doodle poll to define a preferred date and time for future regular IRT meetings. Thank you in advance for your time. Best Regards -- Fabien Betremieux Sr. Registry Services & Engagement Manager Global Domains Division, ICANN

Scheduling of our Next IRT meetings: Early May, every 2 weeks ?
by Fabien Betremieux April 12, 2016

April 12, 2016

Dear IRT Members, Thank you very much for your participation in the doodle poll last week. Unfortunately, we were not able to identify a time this week that would have allowed sufficient participation of both IRT members and required staff. Going forward, we will change tactics and schedule meetings in advance, at regular intervals, at a set time, on a given day of the week. Considering the progress made over the last few meetings and our current target of delivering a draft implementation plan for the transition from thin to thick in August, we propose that the IRT meets every two weeks in the next few months. Please let us know what you think of this proposal in response to this email at your earliest convenience. Regarding the our next IRT meeting, we propose to organize it during the first week of May. Please use to following doodle poll by this Thursday 14 COB in your time zone to share your availability: http://doodle.com/poll/9ptcmxq82r2nvmi7 Please also note that we propose to use your availability in this doodle poll to define a preferred date and time for future regular IRT meetings. Thank you in advance for your time. Best Regards -- Fabien Betremieux Sr. Registry Services & Engagement Manager Global Domains Division, ICANN

Reminder - Proposal for the Transition of Existing Registrations from Thin to Thick

Dear IRT members, This is a friendly reminder that your contribution on this topic would be appreciated by Friday 8 April COB in your time zone. Thank you for your attention Best Regards -- Fabien Betremieux Sr. Registry Services & Engagement Manager Global Domains Division, ICANN From: Fabien Betremieux <fabien.betremieux(a)icann.org> Date: Tuesday, April 5, 2016 at 12:48 AM To: "gnso-impl-thickwhois-rt(a)icann.org" <gnso-impl-thickwhois-rt(a)icann.org> Subject: Proposal for the Transition of Existing Registrations from Thin to Thick Dear IRT members, In our recent conference call, the IRT discussed the transition of existing registration from thin to thick. It is our understanding that two alternative approaches are emerging: Option 1 - The registries impose some checks on the registration data before it can be accepted * The initial proposal from the registries for such checks is based on EPP Standards (RFC 5733), with subsequent discussion of potential changes to such checks. * The main drawback of this approach is that the transition would likely to last a considerable amount of time due to: > * The need for registrars to process a very significant amount of data > (collectively) to ensure it would pass the registries¹ checks > * The need for Staff and the IRT to gather findings from data analysis by > registrars before they can define a realistic implementation timeline, which > in itself would delay the definition of the implementation plan Option 2 - The registries do not impose any checks on the registration data during the transition * This is a proposal emerging from recent discussions, considering that the Policy Recommendation does not include data accuracy requirements and therefore is out of scope for this implementation * The benefit of this approach is that it Is in scope with the policy recommendations, it reduces the implementation to a sizable bulk transfer of data, and it creates an opportunity to possibly synchronize the transition of new and existing registrations by defining a single cut-off date after which all registrations are thick. Considering the outcome of the IRT¹s meeting with the RrSG in Marrakech, and considering recent community comments on the time it is taking to implement the transition from thin to thick, we would like to propose that the IRT move forward with Option 2 as we believe it is the most applicable path forward. We would like to gather IRT members thoughts on our proposal to move forward with Option 2. Your input would be appreciated by Friday 8 April COB at the latest, for discussion during our next IRT meeting, which we are planning to organize the following week. Thank you in advance for your consideration Best Regards
