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
