Kind regards, Nathalie ------------------------------- Adobe Connect chat transcript for Tuesday 07 April 2015 Nathalie Peregrine:Welcome to the PPSAI WG Meeting of 07 April 2015 Mary Wong:I can hear you Mary Wong:Clear as a bell :) Michele Neylon:Graeme I can hear you Michele Neylon:though I'm not listening Holly Raiche:I'm not hearing anything - but then noone is talking? Michele Neylon:I've got music on Chris Pelling:clicking noised on bridge Frank Michlick:I'm listing to a podcast ;-) Chris Pelling:ok clicking seems intermitent, if it gets on my nerves ill calll back in Chris Pelling::) Frank Michlick:Will stop that though when this call starts. Frank Michlick:hello! val sherman:David Heasley also on audio bridge Graeme Bunton:Thanks Val Osvaldo Novoa:Hello all, sorry I'm a bit late Nathalie Peregrine:Todd Williams and Vicky Schedkler have joined the call Kathy:Sorry Graeme -- too many holidays! Nathalie Peregrine:Michael Shoukry has joined rhe call Kathy Kleiman:I think we should bar it, but how do you know? Mary Wong:Yes it's at the end Nathalie Peregrine:Terri Stumme is on the audio bridge Mary Wong:Last para in blue (sorry, having audio and voice issues) Kathy Kleiman:Good paragraph - can we move it up in the doc? Darcy Southwell:I agree with Graeme from a service provider's perspective. Stephanie Perrin:I think the threshold for asking for a reveal has to be a lot higher than for the others.... Nathalie Peregrine:Carlton Samuels has joined the room Carlton Samuels:Morning all Stephanie Perrin:Therefore, we need to add language here. I have no objection to the service provider, for instance, automatically forwarding any requests. Stephanie Perrin:"any steps in the process" makes it over-broad... Stephanie Perrin:"in the absence of human review" also makes me a bit nervous, we would have to define human review. Kathy Kleiman:New II.D Kathy Kleiman:+1 Volker Kathy Kleiman:quality and quantity steve metalitz:We ashould also find automated high volume refusals to disclose and automated high volume responses from customers objectionable. Nathalie Peregrine:Luc Seufer has joined the call Carlton Samuels:@Stephanie: Higher threshold for reveal +1. vicky sheckler:disagree w/ stephanie and carlton Michele Neylon:whoever is being noisy can you please use the mute button Carlton Samuels:I can't hear Steve....I'm on A/C Audio only Volker Greimann:true, Steve Nathalie Peregrine:Please all mute mics when not speaking. Kathy Kleiman:But it doesn't cover everything... Stephanie Perrin:Steve you are fading in and out Carlton Samuels:@Steve: Yes, attestation at all levels +1 Stephanie Perrin:agree with the belt and suspenders Stephanie Perrin:people are disappearing frequently Chris Pelling:i left and came back Chris Pelling:way better Chris Pelling:no clicking at all Stephanie Perrin:IS everyone having fade in and out or do I need to redial? Nathalie Peregrine:If you are having issues with AC audio, please dial into the phone bridge, or we can dial out to you. Stephanie Perrin:+1 Kathy Chris Pelling:I agree with Kathy Mary Wong:The words "high volume, automated processes" are from the RAA. Stephanie Perrin:In other words, Humans do use computers to send things out.... Luc Seufer:Just as an FYI the French DPA allows AFNIC to disclose private data but the request and the disclosure need to be reviewed by a human. Chris Pelling:I would agree with Michele, as long as each notice is reviewed by a LIVING and breithing person it is ok Carlton Samuels:@Kathy: Let's err on the side of TMI; keep it and look to placement Mary Wong:Yes val sherman:+1 Graeme and Michele -- if there is human review, the communication should not be considered automated Mary Wong:With suggested edits from Volker Kathy Kleiman:very responsive Carlton Samuels:@Steve: There was the use of the word 'solely' there as well Kathy Kleiman:@Steve: I think you summarized the concerns well Mary Wong:Would "human rights (e.g. FoE or privacy)" work? vicky sheckler:that is not a pretext Holly Raiche:Agree with Volker and Stephanie Volker Greimann:Stephanie +1 Michele Neylon:shes' cutting out Volker Greimann:what is violated by the reveal is always the privacy., but now always human rights Chris Pelling:I agree Michele Neylon:privacy is a human right though ? Volker Greimann:so if it needs to be violated, the threshhold should be met val sherman:The mere desire of the customer to preserve their privacy cannot be sufficient to refuse a legitimate request, meeting all other criteria of these standards steve metalitz:(5) only comes into play once requestor has met "threshold for "'reveal" (actually, for disclosure) Holly Raiche:Yes Michele - but what is being protected is privacy - which should be the default position Volker Greimann:Exactly vicky sheckler:strongly disagee w/ stephanie. that is not a pretext, which is what the provision todd wrote was trying to addres Carlton Samuels:@Graeme: I would prefer the use of the word 'mainly' or a phrase that removes the [artificial] limit Michele Neylon:Holly yes but the privacy or lack of it can stem speech steve metalitz:No, that does not make sense, Stephanie, in light of our discussions over the past 16 months Holly Raiche:@ Michele - true enough, but what Stephanie is saying is that people ought to be able to choose to protct their personal informtion unless there is a demonstrable reason otherwise Carlton Samuels:@Stephanie: +1 Should be no need to prove harm to protect privacy Holly Raiche:@ Kathy - the language is there - just use privacy at the end vicky sheckler:there is a general rule about when the p/p customer can request refusal of the disclosure, agqain AFTER the requester has provided the requisite information about a violation of the requrester's rights Mary Wong:The framework language since this was first presented has been premised (in Section III) on the customer providing reasons to the provider NOT to disclose. Mary Wong:As Vicky notes, this happens AFTER a provider receives a full and accurate request (per the framework requirements) vicky sheckler:Kathy - rights to authroship are also a human right. privacy does not defacto trump any other tights no matter what vicky sheckler:rights to authorship are in the human declaration of human rights Kathy Kleiman:legitimate rights and protections (e.g., freedom of expression and freedom of association).” Stephanie Perrin:I would be happy to provide edits after the call... Carlton Samuels:We agreed all applicants following the same set of rules can have a P/P registration. We cannot now say to maintain it post registration and in the absence of credible evidence of infraction of rules, one must prove harm to retain it! Carlton Samuels:@Kathy: +1. Let's go for more explicit. Err on the side of TMI here. vicky sheckler:i agree w/ Steve. feels like we are going backwards Kathy Kleiman:+1 Volker Holly Raiche:That is how I understood what Volker was saying vicky sheckler:or we get rid of item 5. steve metalitz:Looking forward to seeing your language Stephanie. Kathy Kleiman:@Vicky - I think we are getting close; and it is very important Mary Wong:@Stephanie, isn't that example you give already covered by the current language? Esp if we say "human rights (e.g FoE and rights to privacy)"? Kathy Kleiman:Todd's language is good - just tweaking Stephanie Perrin:I agree, we are just talking about tweaking Holly Raiche:@ Stephanie - are we not really saying that respect for privacy through genuine tests before reveal is allowed serves to protect the other rights Todd Williams:I'm back. Sorry. I'll check the transcript on what I missed. Mary Wong:Note also footnote #2, which adds Val's suggestion for what the form of attestation might look like (bottom of pg 4) Kathy Kleiman:self-attestation, hmmm Kathy Kleiman:it seems to have some limitations Stephanie Perrin:@ Holly yes that is the bottom line, this service protects privacy and confidentiality of customer data in order to protect other fundamental human rights (including Privacy) Mary Wong:To clarify - the main text specifies WHAT the attestation requires, the footnote suggests HOW this might look Holly Raiche:@ Stephanie - Tks vicky sheckler:stephanie - or to protect those that violate others rights. p/p services are abused by wrondoers too. Well over a majority of the sites we monitor that engage in widespread infringement are behind p/p serivces Mary Wong:Note that those ccTLD operators whose disclosure requests policies we could find requires at most "authorized representative" and certification/attestation that any disclosed info will only be used for the specified purpose. vicky sheckler:we need to find the proper balance, not keep saying that one right trump[s over anythign else Stephanie Perrin:@ Vicky I understand that. If a requestor can make a valid case to prove that, the customer data is revealed. Holly Raiche:@ Vicki - I think we are all aware of the abuse of p/p services, and I don't think access to information by law agencies is problematic for anyone in this WG Stephanie Perrin:Indeed, we are not talking about LEAs here, we are talking about civil action. Holly Raiche:@ Vicki and Stephanie - agreed vicky sheckler:Kathy - that seems like more than what cctld operators are requiring. Not sure why we can't follow the ccTLd oeprators lead here Mary Wong:We have not come across any published policy that requires documentation other than ID and TM registration cert (for example). Mary Wong:Published ccTLD policy, I mean. Chris Pelling:its putting an enforcable action for being able to sue the requestor Stephanie Perrin:Is this not the first time that we have looked at the issue? Why follow the ccTLDs? vicky sheckler:+1 w/ Val Mary Wong:For example, CIRA (.ca) requires a form with name, address and reasons to be stated, accompanied by a notarized/certified copy of a TM registration plus proof of requestor identity. Mary Wong:@Stephanie, it was just to see if we can find guidance or common practice that, if appropriate, we can consider utilizing. Chris Pelling:sorry, its having the paperwork to show it Stephanie Perrin:@Mary, and I do agree that the CIRA example is better than many Kathy Kleiman:@Mary: But we are setting up probably a whole new scale for reveal requests - probably far beyond ccTLD requests Carlton Samuels:@Val: Would it mean the same if there is some registration of requestor's connection to the rights owner? Chris Pelling:@Steve its not really documents, its a single page in most cases vicky sheckler:i need to drop off. sorry Stephanie Perrin:This process definitely has to set the standards for the agency represnetation. Otherwise, we know that services will be outsourced to the lowest price. Kathy Kleiman:@All: It's an accountability issue Stephanie Perrin:Yes it is an accountability issue. val sherman:Carlton -- i'm not sure I understand your question. Mary Wong:@Kathy, agreed on scale - so question is whether any particular requirement is both practical and justified in the context. Volker Greimann:caveat: unless I have to... Frank Michlick:thank you Carlton Samuels:@Val: To relieve seeing contracts fto attest standing, could a pre-reg work? Kathy Kleiman:Tx Graeme and All! Darcy Southwell:Thanks!

Re: [Gnso-ppsai-pdp-wg] Agenda and documents for WG call on 7 April 2014 -- re "Annex"
by Metalitz, Steven April 7, 2015

April 7, 2015

Just a brief note that could facilitate our discussion tomorrow with regard to the "Annex" to the draft disclosure framework. (Thanks Mary for recirculating this text.) As the title spells out, the document sets forth "Some options for resolving disputes arising from alleged false statements leading to improper disclosures." The Annex is not intended to address any appeal mechanism regarding a disclosure request, but only the consequences of a request wrongfully granted because based on false pretenses. In this document, "some" options basically boils down to two options. Under the first option, a requestor would agree to submit such disputes to an arbitrator. (The other party to the dispute, the privacy/proxy service provider, would presumably agree to this method as well, as part of its accreditation process.) The document provides some more detail about the arbitration process, though certainly much more work would need to be done to implement it. Under the second option, the requestor would agree, for purposes of such wrongful disclosure disputes, to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts in the territory where the service provider is located. Our discussions over the past few weeks may have made the last paragraph of the Annex document less relevant. It is based on the assumption that, under either option, not all requestors would necessarily be required to agree. As specified in section I.b.iv of the overall document, a service provider could, if it chose, institute a "trusted requestor" program to facilitate processing of requests from reliable sources. The last paragraph of the Annex says that a service provider could, if it chose, make such an agreement a condition of entry into a "trusted requestor" program, if it had one. This last paragraph may be irrelevant if the group decides that some dispute resolution process should be available whenever the service provider believes it has wrongfully disclosed based on false pretenses. But ultimately the group still needs to decide whether there will be such a mandatory dispute resolution process, and if so, which process it will be (arbitration, or litigation in the service provider's home court). Looking forward to our discussion tomorrow.

Revised Reveal Doc
by Kathy Kleiman April 7, 2015

April 7, 2015

Hi All, Steve and I talked on Friday, and he asked me to circulate a Revised Reveal document -- which is attached. This document has three types of changes based on our discussion last Tuesday and subsequent research: 1. To the title (reset pending further discussion) 2. To Section II, the Request Templates to clarify the requester and his/her direct knowledge of the alleged infringement and legal authority to represent the Requester, and 3. Annex (reset to original pending discussion with drafters over the narrow goals and intents of this section) All other edits remain - to continue our excellent discussion of high standards for disclosure, human rights issues, etc. There is also much to discuss regarding follow-up processes (after the Request) including a) when are appeals allowed and for whom, and b) how does a Provider challenge an alleged "wrongful disclosure" of its Customer's information? Best and have a good rest of weekend, Kathy

Illustration of our opposition to automated complaint systems
by Volker Greimann April 7, 2015

April 7, 2015

Hello, as there was still some confusion about why we are asking for this, here is an excerpt of an illustrative example we received today: "We write on behalf of Eastbay, Inc. (“Eastbay”) regarding the registration and use of the domain name ymlp.com which contains the famous Eastbay trademark." Clearly someone has done his homework on this one. It goes on making the usualy claims under the threat of perjury, etc. Hope this helps framing the issue. Volker

Sample ccTLD request procedures (Re: PPSAI - Proposed language on attestation)
by Mary Wong April 3, 2015

April 3, 2015

Dear all, Following on the last call, staff thought it might be helpful to compile a sample of ccTLD procedures for dealing with third party requests for registrant information and contact details (recognizing, of course, that ccTLD policies differ in significant ways from those that apply to gTLDs). Attached is a document summarizing the practices in .au, .be, .ca, .de, .eu, .fr and .uk, based on information published by the respective central registries on their websites. We hope this is of some assistance in the WG¹s continuing discussions on disclosure requests.

Safe Harbour Provisions and Online Piracy
by Carlton Samuels April 1, 2015

April 1, 2015

It's getting to be a crapshoot these days! One Mr. Weatherley, strategic adviser to the UK Govt on piracy and things IP, wants to 'clarify' the exemptions afforded ISSPs in Safe Harbour Agreements.....and justify the onerous ones placed on search engines on the EU side. He's now proposing ISSPs - his term for ISPs and 'other intermediary service providers' not identified but I give you one guess to the prize - 'do more' to patrol and prevent IP infringement online, all in service of - count your fingers and grab your pockets - 'moral responsibility'. In lieu of 'action' on the part of ISSPs, Mr. here wants to do away with existing protections from suit for these ISSPs. He's also bothered that 'net neutrality' might be a vehicle for ISSPs etc. to - in his view - shirk their responsibilities to rights holders. See the report attached. -Carlton ============================== Carlton A Samuels Mobile: 876-818-1799 *Strategy, Planning, Governance, Assessment & Turnaround* =============================
