Provision of back-end registry services
by Austin, Donna Sept. 1, 2016

Sept. 1, 2016

Hi All A working group of the RySG has been formed to consider a number of topics being discussed as part of this PDP. On Friday I posted the following email to the list, which resulted in quite a bit of discussion. I'm working through the ensuing discussion and will attempt to provide a summary for this group. Sara, I think RSP Accreditation will be discussed as part of WG 1 and request that this input be taken into account. I repost my email to this list for information and also to encourage more discussion on the topic. ___ As RSP Accreditation was identified as a high priority, and as Neustar is one of the leading RSP as a result of the new gTLD program, I'd like to start a discussion on the path forward. I've just finished listening to the recording from the GDD summit on the topic of certification of back-end registry providers. As some of you may recall, during that session Sean Kaine from Neustar requested that we step back from the solution, ie. RSP Accreditation and try to identify the problems we're trying to solve in order to be sure that we have the correct solution. Sean also acknowledged as part of his intervention that accreditation may well be the answer, but let's be sure we understand what problems we're trying to solve first. I acknowledge that many may consider this to be a dissenting point of view, but I would ask this group if we could at least have the discussion. I understand that many believe these discussions have been had before, but I would argue that those were largely absent the experience we have had since as a result of the implementation of the new gTLD program and 1000+ registry operators going live. I think it would also be helpful to define what we mean when we say 'accreditation'. It is possible that it means different things to different people and in this regard it would be helpful to have a common understanding. It may be that we come up with a few different versions of what 'accreditation' means and find that some of these are more palatable than others. I admit that I don't have a fully developed idea of what 'accreditation' actually means in this context, but I do expect that there are a number of ways that 'accreditation' could be achieved. Some of the concerns that Neustar has with accreditation are as follows: * The potential to create unnecessary layers of bureaucracy in order to achieve accreditation * ICANN being responsible for the development and implementation of any accreditation program-I think we'd all agree that ICANN does not have a good track record in this regard. * Ability to maintain product differentiation * Creating another contracted party within ICANN-if a contract is required and fees are to be paid to ICANN in order to be accredited then RSPs could potentially create their own stakeholder group within the GNSO, ie a third party in the CPH * What are the implications, if any, on the Registry Agreement? To help us move forward in the manner I'm suggesting, I've identified some of the problems I believe we're trying to solve acknowledging that this list is not exhaustive: * The RSP needs the ability to interact directly with ICANN with regard to technical issues. * Streamline the 2012 new gTLD processes for any future round: o Remove the need for the same RSP to undergo the same PDT for every registry operator o Streamline the application process as it relates to the technical requirements o Make provision for applicants to select RSPs after securing the TLD o Find a more efficient way to swap out RSPs Following the discussion at the GDD Summit, ICANN staff committed to synthesize the discussion, and come back to us with next steps. I don't believe this has happened, but based on some of the chat on our call earlier this week it does seem that some work that is going on in this regard. I think it would be helpful to our discussion to understand what the status of what that work is and where it's headed. Looking forward to everyone's thoughts. Donna Donna Austin: Neustar, Inc.

Rubens Kuhl:From a formal perspective, do we really need to answer for "no comments" comments ? Rubens Kuhl:(Like 1.f R1, XLS line 34) Emily Barabas:@jeff, I will do that. thanks. Michael Flemming:To echo Phil Corwin, GAC points out that the results of all reviews should be considered. Heather Forrest:Just to note Jeff's helpful suggestion to the Council that the WG be involved in future Council responses to the next GAC Communique. This is something I'll ensure is raised in the Council. Heather Forrest:No problem! Tracey Hind (ACIG GAC Secretariat):there is a hand up in the chat Tracey Hind (ACIG GAC Secretariat):on the GAC page... Kurt Pritz:Re: GAC - The Policy, at the time of approval of the first round, was to have a subsequent round within a year of the the last round. This was to allow those who weren't reached by ICANN's communication strategy to "catch up." SInce then, there have been reviews inserted in the critical path (e.g., the RPM review) but the sort of comprehensive review contemplated by the GAC in this letter is not part of the current policy. There is no need for an "agreed policy and administrative framework supported by all stakeholders" (whatever that is. jorge cancio (GAC Switzerland):Hi there. As GAC member I may clarify that the GAC input and advice refer mainly to already envisaged and ongoing reviews, which are not still finalised Rubens Kuhl:On the RySG comment on implementation, one decision the full WG needs to make is to make one IRT for the WG or one IRT per Work Track. I personally favor the later, to have 4 IRTs at this point that would be merged in the future, but either option works. jorge cancio (GAC Switzerland):We have to be mindful that announcements made when the 2012 round started were well-meant intentions, I guess. At that moment of time many of the issues encountered later on had not been possible to be anticipated... Heather Forrest:Jeff - We'll take your question back. Martin Sutton:nope VAIBHAV AGGARWAL:Hey Guys Got Late Martin Sutton:I think the IPC response is clear - no reason to change thepolicy but they query that it has npt followed through with amechanism put in place Michael Flemming:It seems like I am unheard Terri Agnew:@Michael, I see your mic is active on AC ,please check your mic Michael Flemming:It seems my microphone is not connected properly Terri Agnew:@Michael, let us know if a dial out on the telephone is needed Michael Flemming:That would be well Avri Doria:10 minutes left in meeting Terri Agnew:Michael is on audio Laura Watkins (Nominet):I believe it is from the IPC statement Emily Barabas:IPC Response to CC1: https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=59645660&preview=/… jorge cancio (GAC Switzerland):Perhaps there was no contradiction - simply at that time, people thought that all reviews would have been done within that one year Avri Doria:yes, we were optimistc back then. Terri Agnew:@Michael, you audio is cutting in and out Michael Flemming:Apologies for the bad audio. Michael Flemming:Hi Avri, thank you for the clarification. Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):Thx Avri, Jeff and Everyone, good to get started on all this sorry to be so mute Midnight here and sleeping child in m room ( I am still kinds on bed rest) Bye for now ... Talk again soon... jorge cancio (GAC Switzerland):on 1c) the GAC answer seems to be cut off? Rubens Kuhl:Avri, I'll just post the issue to the mailing list as it requires more time to discuss. Michael Flemming:I echo Cheryl. I need to catch a train home so am cutting out early. jorge cancio (GAC Switzerland):thanks! Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):bye Sara Bockey:Thank you all.

FINAL DEADLINE FOR CC1 COMMENTS IS TODAY
by Jeff Neuman Aug. 19, 2016

Aug. 19, 2016

All, Just a reminder that today is the deadline to receive input from the cc1 questionnaire that was sent out on June 9th (71 DAYS AGO). To date I believe we have only received responses from the ccNSO, GAC and RySG. Nothing from the ALAC, RrSG, IPC, BC, ISPC, NCUC, etc. If responses are not submitted today, we will assume that those groups will not be responding and we will base our CC1 findings on the discussions of the group and the statements we have received thus far. Thanks. Jeffrey J. Neuman Senior Vice President |Valideus USA | Com Laude USA 1751 Pinnacle Drive, Suite 600 Mclean, VA 22102, United States E: jeff.neuman(a)valideus.com<mailto:jeff.neuman@valideus.com> or jeff.neuman(a)comlaude.com<mailto:jeff.neuman@comlaude.com> T: +1.703.635.7514 M: +1.202.549.5079 @Jintlaw
