Compilation of P/P provider responses
by Mary Wong Sept. 15, 2015

Sept. 15, 2015

Dear WG members, Please find attached a document that staff has compiled of P/P provider responses to the 5 questions posed by the WG chairs to the group after the call last week, as follows: 1. What are provider practices regarding customer notification when a disclosure request is received, and is the customer given the opportunity to respond? 2. Does any provider offer its customer an option other than disclosure or publication, e.g. an opportunity to cancel the registration instead (i.e. what some WG members have mentioned as a ³takedown²)? 3. What are provider ³standards" for determining disclosure to third parties? 4. Can providers give the WG some general information about the percentage of requests for disclosure that are successful? 5. For Q4, do providers also have information about the type of claims those relate to e.g. If they are from LEA, 3P IP claim etc.? Please let me know if I have mischaracterized or omitted any response that you may have sent (for which I offer my apologies!). If you have not yet provided a response and are in a position to do so, or if you¹d like to add to a response you¹d provided previously, please send it along and I¹ll make sure it gets added to this document. Finally, please note that certain actual provider terms of service obtained from a sample of providers had previously been compiled as part of the draft template for this Category F, so that may also be helpful these are available on the WG wiki here: https://community.icann.org/x/QwbxAg. Thanks and cheers Mary Mary Wong Senior Policy Director Internet Corporation for Assigned Names & Numbers (ICANN) Telephone: +1 603 574 4892 Email: mary.wong(a)icann.org

Fair Use Week
by Kathy Kleiman Feb. 24, 2015

Feb. 24, 2015

Hi All, I wanted to share something that seems related to our activities of late in the WG. This week is Fair Use Week and organizations offer a set of online and in-person activities celebrating and exploring fair use. This year the activities are led by ARL - Association of Research Libraries -- and universities. I thought you might be interested in these activities. Below is a posting from ARL describing them... Best Kathy ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /Apologies for cross-posting/ / / Hi All, There were a lot of great posts from the first day of Fair Use Week 2015. I've compiled a roundup of yesterday's posts <http://fairuseweek.org/roundup-from-day-1-of-fair-use-week/>. You can also watch two great videos. The first is by Kyle Courtney <http://fairuseweek.org/fair-use-introduction-kyle-courtney/> explaining some of the origins of Fair Use Week and Harvard's Copyright First Responders Network. The second is by Fred von Lohmann <http://fairuseweek.org/fair-use-week-fred-von-lohmann/> and covers how fair use enables our everyday technologies. Also, if you haven't seen it yet, check out, use, share, distribute, and post the Fair Use Fundamentals Infographic <http://fairuseweek.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/ARL-FUW-Infographic-r4.pdf>. Stay tuned for more celebration of fair use and fair dealing! Visit fairuseweek.org <http://fairuseweek.org> or follow #FairUseWeek2015 on Twitter for more. -- Krista L.

Moving forward, part 2
by Don M. Blumenthal Feb. 24, 2015

Feb. 24, 2015

Good evening, or whatever works where you are. To get to the point, I have had to make a very hard decision to step aside from WG Chair responsibilities for awhile. It has nothing to do with the RySG issues that I raised before. I just need to take the time to focus on doing everything I can to take care of the problems of the last few months. It has been suggested for awhile and, as I told Marika, I guess that some folks really are trainable. Those of you who know my wife can imaginge her with a "who, you?" look, but she is in Phoenix on business and can't see me writing the message. Working with this WG has been an outstanding experience. I've learned a lot in many ways. It's too far along and we've made too much progress to step away completely, so I'll be lurking and contributing on calls and the mailing list as I can. Best, Don ----- Don M. Blumenthal, Esq.

Val Sherman:David Heasley and Jim Bikoff are also on Terri Agnew:I have noted David and Jim Val Sherman:Thanks Terri! Kathy:Hi All! Bladel:+1 Steve. Thank you for all of your work, Don. Don Blumenthal:Stress? :) Thanks. Kathy:+2 Much appreciated, Don! Terri Agnew:Kiran Malancharuvil has joined audio Stephanie Perrin:Apologies for being late... Carlton Samuels:Howdy all. Apologies for coming in late Todd Williams:Likewise: apologies for being late. Kathy:Keeping in mind the limits and scopes of ICANN.... including not regulating content Terri Agnew:Vicky Sheckler has joined audio Bladel:Kathy - Yes, and this is something that is becoming increasingly important (not just for PPSAI). Bladel:ICANN shouldn't regulate content, but service providers (as private entities) should be able to set their own content policies. Bladel:But service providers shouldn't be under pain of ICANN Compliance to act (or not act) in a certain way. Not sure everyone completely agrees with that yet. Terri Agnew:Welcome Volker Greimann Terri Agnew:Welcome Luc Seufer Luc Seufer:Hi Terry et alia Kathy:Interesting background - tx Steve and James! Kathy:"allegedly infringes" as nothing has been adjudicated :-) Christian Dawson:+1 to Michele Kathy:Agree that exact URL is key Michele Neylon:we got several in the last week where we had to waste time asking for specific URLs Michele Neylon:(speaking as a hosting provider) Mary Wong:Please mute your mics when not speaking Mary Wong:Also, please ensure that you use only one set of speakers/mic Michele Neylon:+1 Mary Stephanie Perrin:THanks, that helps clarify Don Blumenthal:Provider TOS can allow for quick action that mans other merhods aren't necessary. Michele Neylon:+1 James Val Sherman:+1 James -- that's fair Michele Neylon:if we can't see the alleged infringement we can't act Kiran Malancharuvil:Agree with that Michele Neylon:"use the force" isn't sane Michele Neylon:re: available / not available - couldn't it be resolved by simply using "if" ie. if it is available Volker Greimann:there will also have to be some form of external verification of the copyright claim Volker Greimann:how will the provider know if the claim is valid? Volker Greimann:+1 for Kathy. If someone complaints that writing about Tethans in volcanoes violates their copyright, that may not be easy to decide Stephanie Perrin:Michele has just asked my next question, bravo! Volker Greimann:so if a platform like abay or alibaba used whois privacy and a customer sold Gucci handbags, what would be your request? Kathy:There are real dangers in not allowing the Customer to discuiss circumstances privately with the SErvice Provider Philip Corwin:General approach seems ok so far -- but noting for record that the method of resolving provider claims of false statements/misrepresentations remains to be decided and that this is extremely important to prevent abuse of the process. Todd Williams:Steve just made the point I was going to make. It's "lack of" Frank Michlick:+1 for Michele. Lindsay Hamilton-Reid 2:I also agree with Michele. We are not here to be judge and jury. dick leaning:agree with michele Michele Neylon:I'm taking a screenshot of that dick leaning::-) Don Blumenthal:Scary, isn't it? Kathy:We'll definitely need a procedure for the Customer to obtain statements from Requestor that can be challenged as appropriate in court and elsewhere Kathy:Tx to Steve and All for walking us through!

Re: [Gnso-ppsai-pdp-wg] Category F -- updated status report and text for discussion
by Metalitz, Steven Feb. 24, 2015

Feb. 24, 2015

PPSAI WG members, This follows up on our note of Feb. 3 providing a status report on subgroup discussions among some IP interests and p/p service providers regarding p/p disclosure standards. To reiterate, the group's work is not meant to obviate or displace the work of the larger PPSAI WG on this issue - rather, it is meant to constructively contribute to the discussion by producing one proposal on this issue for the larger group's consideration. In light of further consideration and of the need to move forward the WG discussion on Category F, we present the attached document that we hope will help provide a framework for discussion of the disclosure issue in the WG. We emphasize that this is not a proposal from IPC, the Registrar Stakeholder Group, or any subset of either, and that we fully anticipate the text to be modified and improved through further discussion at the WG level. (We also acknowledge that the WG may find the proposal wholly unsatisfactory but hope that it will at least help advance debate.) The attached is put forward as a starting point, to use intellectual property infringement complaints as one illustrative example of minimum disclosure standards, in a framework that addresses (1) a service provider process for intake of requests; (2) general templates that requests would have to meet in order to trigger service provider action; and (3) principles governing service provider action in response to a conforming request. We look forward to the discussion of this document among WG members. Graeme Bunton Steve Metalitz From: Metalitz, Steven Sent: Tuesday, February 03, 2015 3:57 PM To: PPSAI (gnso-ppsai-pdp-wg(a)icann.org) Subject: Category F -- status report Dear WG colleagues, As you know, several PPSAI Working Group members, including representatives of the IPC and privacy and proxy service providers, have endeavored to develop a collaborative proposal on the minimum standards for disclosure (Category F). The group's work is not meant to obviate or displace the work of the larger group on this issue - rather, it is meant to constructively contribute to the discussion by producing one proposal on this issue for the larger group's consideration. This is an update on this sub-group's progress. But first, a little background: At the face-to-face meeting of the PPSAI Working Group in Los Angeles on October 10, 2014, one important topic was minimum standards for disclosure of contact information of customers of privacy/proxy services who may or may not be using their private domain name registrations to carry out infringing or other abusive activities. Prior to the face-to-face meeting, IPC participants in the Working Group circulated a proposal on this topic. A responsive redline was circulated to the WG by Volker Greimann. Following extensive discussion of these proposals and of the topic in general at the face-to-face meeting, a sub-group of WG participants have continued this discussion. The sub-group includes participants from the IPC and privacy/proxy service providers. Meeting by teleconference and working over e-mail, the sub-group has sought to develop a text that could be jointly presented to the PPSAI Working Group as a framework for further discussion on the issue of standards for disclosure. Some progress has been made, and the sub-group is continuing its efforts with the goal of producing a document for presentation to the PPSAI Working Group as soon after the Singapore ICANN meeting as feasible. If such a document is completed, it is hoped that it would be a constructive contribution to eventual WG approval of a set of recommendations on "Category F" for inclusion in the Draft Report of the WG. Unlike the documents discussed by the full WG last October, the framework under discussion does not purport to establish a single general policy for when disclosure of contact information in cases of alleged abusive activities would be available. Instead, it seeks to focus more narrowly on intellectual property infringement complaints as one illustrative example of minimum disclosure standards. The framework would describe (1) a service provider process for intake of requests; (2) general templates that requests would have to meet in order to trigger service provider action; and (3) principles governing service provider action in response to a conforming request. While considerable progress has been made in the first two areas, a number of critical issues remain to be resolved in the third area, and discussion has not been concluded on any of the areas. The expressed common goal of the discussion group participants is a framework that would give requestors a higher degree of certainty and predictability as to if, when and how they could obtain what level of disclosure; that would preserve for service providers a sufficient degree of flexibility and discretion in acting upon requests for disclosure; and that would include reasonable safeguards and procedures to protect the legitimate interests of customers of accredited proxy/privacy service providers. Of course, balancing these interests is the difficult task before our working group. As stated, participants in the discussion group hope to be able to make a constructive contribution to the WG's efforts to do so. Graeme Bunton Steve Metalitz

A change in my world
by dmb＠donblumenthal.com Feb. 6, 2015

Feb. 6, 2015

PIR brought me in a few years ago to focus on technical policy issues. The company has changed a lot since then. Its priorities are different now, and the company eliminated the Senior Policy Advisor slot last Friday. I want to continue to chair the WG, and no rules prevent it. Please post any concerns that you might have about an unaffiliated person being in the role. You can send privately to Mary and Marika if you are more comfortable with that. I'll see whoever is there in Singapore. Don

Category F -- status report
by Metalitz, Steven Feb. 4, 2015

Feb. 4, 2015

Dear WG colleagues, As you know, several PPSAI Working Group members, including representatives of the IPC and privacy and proxy service providers, have endeavored to develop a collaborative proposal on the minimum standards for disclosure (Category F). The group's work is not meant to obviate or displace the work of the larger group on this issue - rather, it is meant to constructively contribute to the discussion by producing one proposal on this issue for the larger group's consideration.

Unlike the documents discussed by the full WG last October, the framework under discussion does not purport to establish a single general policy for when disclosure of contact information in cases of alleged abusive activities would be available. Instead, it seeks to focus more narrowly on intellectual property infringement complaints as one illustrative example of minimum disclosure standards. The framework would describe (1) a service provider process for intake of requests; (2) general templates that requests would have to meet in order to trigger service provider action; and (3) principles governing service provider action in response to a conforming request. While considerable progress has been made in the first two areas, a number of critical issues remain to be resolved in the third area, and discussion has not been concluded on any of the areas. The expressed common goal of the discussion group participants is a framework that would give requestors a higher degree of certainty and predictability as to if, when and how they could obtain what level of disclosure; that would preserve for service providers a sufficient degree of flexibility and discretion in acting upon requests for disclosure; and that would include reasonable safeguards and procedures to protect the legitimate interests of customers of accredited proxy/privacy service providers. Of course, balancing these interests is the difficult task before our working group. As stated, participants in the discussion group hope to be able to make a constructive contribution to the WG's efforts to do so. Graeme Bunton Steve Metalitz From: gnso-ppsai-pdp-wg-bounces(a)icann.org [mailto:gnso-ppsai-pdp-wg-bounces@icann.org] On Behalf Of Mary Wong Sent: Tuesday, February 03, 2015 5:32 AM To: PPSAI (gnso-ppsai-pdp-wg(a)icann.org) Subject: [Gnso-ppsai-pdp-wg] Updated draft Initial Report - for SINGAPORE and subsequent discussion Dear WG members, Please find attached the latest revisions to the draft Initial Report, reflecting the discussions from the WG call on 28 January - as such, the changes since the last version circulated on 21 January are to Recommendations #15 and #19 in Section 1.3.1, Section 1.3.2 and Section 1.3.3 (all in the Executive Summary). In addition, we have prepared a Glossary (attached) that can be included in the report when it is published for public comment, which includes the new definitions agreed on by the WG for Disclosure and Publication as well as existing definitions from previous GNSO work that were used in scoping this PDP and chartering the WG. Once the draft Initial Report is finalized by this WG following the Singapore meeting, we will also explore other formatting and visual options to better assist the reader with viewing and reviewing the various WG recommendations. Finally, as a reminder, the WG call originally scheduled for today (Tuesday 3 February) is canceled; this WG will therefore meet again during the ICANN meeting, on Wednesday 11 February at 09:30 Singapore time, in the Hullet Room at the conference venue. Remote participation details will be posted to the main ICANN meeting schedule: http://singapore52.icann.org/en/schedule/wed-ppsai.
