Thanks Amy. The “working in parallel” suggestion sounds promising to me. Looking forward to discussing it tomorrow.

Subject: RE: Agenda, materials for 29 November IRT call

Hi Steve,

Thanks for flagging this and passing along these documents. This topic is on the agenda for tomorrow (albeit more generally, under discussion topic 2—subgroups). We can re-arrange and discuss this first if the IRT would prefer that.

In short (this is my personal view, not an official staff position), this would be an additional item to add to the work plan. The Final Recommendations on privacy/proxy called for a “compatibility check” with the Transfer Policy, but this appears to be broader than that. We could potentially mitigate the impact by using a subgroup to work on this topic in parallel to the IRT’s other work (meeting on weeks where there is not an IRT meeting) with the hope that volunteers with experience and interest in this topic (and in the Transfer Policy PDP/IRT) will sign up to work with staff to develop a solution that can be brought back to the broader IRT.

Best,

Amy

Amy and colleagues,

Does staff have a view on how the timetable and work plan of this IRT would change if the pending motion before the GNSO Council (attached) were adopted and those aspects of the Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy Part C as they impact registrar-operated p/p services were “placed for evaluation and recommendation” by this IRT, in addition to its other responsibilities?

Could this issue be added to tomorrow’s agenda please?

Thanks.

Hi, All,

I hope you are well!

Our next Privacy and Proxy Service Provider Accreditation Program IRT call is scheduled for 29 November 2016, 14:00 UTC. I apologize, I misspoke in our last meeting about what time this meeting is in the U.S. (I said 10 Eastern, but that was before the time change. It is now 9 Eastern). We’ll discuss briefly first thing on the call whether the IRT intended for the time to push later by an hour after the time change (or not).

Our agenda is as follows:

>Confirming regular call schedule

>Call for additional expertise (we are looking for anyone with experience working with a privacy/proxy service provider that is not affiliated with an ICANN-accredited registrar, so that we can be sure that impacts on this business model are fully considered and understood as we are implementing this program)

>Discussion topic 1: Draft Privacy and Proxy Service Provider Accreditation Policy Outline v1

>Discussion topic 2: Planning for IRT subgroups

>(tentative) Discussion topic 3: ICANN operational planning (this might be pushed to the following meeting)

>Next steps

The first version of the draft policy outline that we will be discussing is attached. I will walk through it with you on our call and then request that you provide feedback on the document between the meeting on the 29^th and the following IRT call, scheduled for 13 December.

For those of you who are celebrating, I hope that you have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.

I look forward to speaking with you all next week!

Best,

Amy
