Before we get too far ahead of ourselves here --- there is not yet agreement on the content of any communication from this IRT to GNSO Council and still some open/unresolved questions on Marc’s draft. Also, to clarify --- it was this IRT (acting in accordance with the Board resolution) that sought legal guidance on thick Whois – it was not the GNSO council. If we think that an update of that advice is needed, we can ask for it. At least so it seems to me. Staff, do you agree? [image001] Steven J.

Theo, If the procedure permits, go straight to the GNSO and let them go to ICANN council if they have issues. It would be less hassle for us.

Hi Dennis,
Yes, we agreed to move in parralel. I kind hoped we moved further with that GNSO memo though. The conflict between local WHOIS is still lingering around like Volker mentioned.
If we are going to move into the comment period draft wise then I would like to see side notes that we did not deal with the GNSO memo and we did not deal with WHOIS conflicts and local law.
And I kinda hoped you guys would have checked what the correct procedure is as Alan pointed out. Do we go to ICANN legal first or do we go straight to GNSO. I am in favor of going straight to the GNSO, this is above our pay grade here.
For the rest no problems.
Theo

Thanks Chris for following through on your action regarding the Registrar’s request for the alternative solution. Since your email to the IRT satisfies the triggers for the “request” in section 2.2, We can simplify the policy by combining 2.2 with 2.1 using the same date. Btw, 1 August 2017 provides the 6-month duration that Marc had requested for development.
Below if my proposed change.
From: 2.1. Registry Operator MUST deploy an EPP mechanism by 1 August 2017 for registrars to migrate registration data for Existing Domain Names (i.e., transition from Thin to Thick). 2.2. Registry Operator MUST upon request provide an alternative bulk transfer mechanism by 1 February 2018 for registrars to migrate data for Existing Domain Names (i.e., transition from Thin to Thick). The request MUST be made by 1 August 2017.
To: 2.1. Registry Operator MUST deploy an EPP mechanism and an alternative bulk transfer mechanism by 1 August 2017 for registrars to migrate registration data for Existing Domain Names (i.e., transition from Thin to Thick).
As for your question about the draft privacy memo to GNSO Council, the IRT had agreed the implementation project will continue in parallel to any activity related to the memo. This was agreed upon when the subject was broached at the Helsinki ICANN meeting and again in subsequent meetings. Our plan to continue with the implementation work including the Public Comment has not changed. It is the goal of our implementation team to press forward as best we can to meet the 1 February 2017 Announcement Date per the project schedule we’ve agreed upon.
Thanks for your support and look forward to our meeting tommorrow. Dennis Chang
