Dear Colleagues,

Following our recent proposal in response to Roger’s input, we have updated our Draft Consensus Policy Language (please see attached).

Would would like to invite ultimate comments on this draft before we publish it for public comments. In keeping with our timeline, we currently plan to announce the Public Comment period on Monday 30 November 2015.

Your feedback would be appreciated before Wednesday 25 November COB.

Thank you in advance for your collaboration

Subject: Re: [Gnso-impl-thickwhois-rt] Consistent Labeling and Display - IRT Input on Draft Consensus Policy Language

Dear Roger,

Thank you for your questions and suggestions. Here is our proposal to the IRT in response.

Regarding the Implementation Notes in general, unless the IRT identifies areas where those should be expanded, we do not plan to add any additional information. On this topic, IRT members may be interested to address the question by Theo Geurts in relation to Section 1.5 on whether registry approaches to the implementation of Phase 1 should be unified as opposed to individualized.

Regarding your suggestion to include the Whois output comparison chart as part of the Implementation Notes, we think the Policy and Notes should rely solely on contracted parties implementations of Specification 3 of the 2013 RAA as clarified by the 27 April 2015 Advisory and the RDAP Profile. One possibility would be, as part of the Public Comment announcement, to reference the document from which the chart was extracted, which was produced as part of our impact assessment earlier this year: https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/52889541/ThickWhois-CL%26D-Impact-Detailed.xlsx?version=1&modificationDate=1424183653000&api=v2

Regarding Section 2.3 (timeline for Phase 2), we could propose the following:

Publication of Consensus Policy and Implementation Notes: at the earliest possible date on the ICANN Policy Change Calendar following publication at the IETF of the relevant EPP Extensions
Consensus Policy Effective Date: 180 days following Publication date above

Regarding Section 2.4, we agree to your suggestion of making our reference to EPP Extensions plural.

Thank you for your input. We look forward any additional comments you or IRT may have on the above topics.

Best Regards

Fabien

Thanks Fabien,

A general question/comment about the content. As this document addresses “Implementation Notes” are we planning to include more details, for example the output of the CL&D work detailing the output discrepancies? I think the chart showing what is missing and updates could be cleaned up and either placed within this document or as an appendix or as a reference. I believe this would really help clarify item 2 of Section 1 and would visually show the different requirements between Phase 1 and Phase 2.

A couple specific items within the draft:

� Section 2.3 lays out the timeline for Phase 2 (Registrar Expiration and Reseller). It does not seem reasonable to set an effective date without having solutions to resolve these two foundation items (Section 2.4). I think the publication of the policy and notes can be set to a timeline but the effective date should be the later of +6 months from publication or completion of the work required in Section 2.4.

� I think we should make Section 2.4 plural. “Once EPP extensions are defined by the EPPEXT WG (or successor WG), Registries and Registrars will be REQUIRED to implement such EPP extensions in order to facilitate the implementation across the industry.”

Thanks

Roger

The proposed Draft is attached to this email for your reference.

In keeping with our target timeline, and prior to seeking Public Comments from the wider community, we would like to request that IRT members provide their input on this Draft as soon as possible, no later than Friday 20 November 2015.
