As you’ll recall, at our face to face meeting on Friday, the WG discussed whether there is a need to clarify whether the WG”s proposed definition of P/P services includes, or should expressly exclude, lawyers and attorneys who, as service providers, do proxy service registrations for clients in light of concerns over the impact on the right to counsel. The co-chairs would like to offer the following language for your further discussion:

"The issue of whether or not accreditation standards would apply to attorneys was raised in public comments. However, we believe it is outside of ICANN’s remit to regulate attorney/client relationships and we believe that ICANN should avoid attempting to do so in any implementation of our proposed policy.”

Please feel free to continue the discussion via email to this list.

Thanks and cheers
