by Feodora Hamza July 30, 2025

July 30, 2025

Deadline for all AIs: 4 August Documents: * Draft Report [docs.google.com]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/docs.google.com/document/d/11RPDqWgI0lcu…> * Review Document<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/docs.google.com/document/d/1cZnyjmibAysU…> The next meeting is scheduled for Monday 4 August and 17:30 UTC. Kind regards, Feodora on behalf of Support Staff 2025-07-28 RDRS Standing Committee - Meeting #40<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/EOTSFGRD/pages/303562789/…> * Action Item: Support Staff to update the Draft Report based on the meetings outcome and discussion. * Action Item: SC members to review the pending comments for further feedback. * Action Items: Gabriel to draft alternative language reflecting law enforcement’s role in self-funding authentication. * Action Item: Farzaneh and John to discuss prior to next SC meeting and draft mutually agreeable language. Deadline for all AIs: 4 August Documents: * Draft Report [docs.google.com]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/docs.google.com/document/d/11RPDqWgI0lcu…> * Review Document<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/docs.google.com/document/d/1cZnyjmibAysU…> * Welcome (5min) · SC Chair opened the meeting and noted the sessions extended to 2 hours due to the volume of discussion points remaining. · Goal: finalizing the committee’s report by mid-August for public comment. 1. Review pending comments and action items (100min) · Support Staff presented the pending comments for SC discussion. · Focus on unresolved or substantive comments, especially around Chapter 4 (Assignment 4). Noted that comments marked green (in review document) were resolved. Discussion on Recommendation 5 – Financial Sustainability for RDRS · SC members suggested removal of Recommendation 5. Suggested for including factual cost data without recommending financial models. · SC members noted any fees for the current RDRS system until the board formally adopts a successor system should not be considered. The system is not mandatory. Stated any charge implies endorsement of Recommendation 14, which the board hasn’t approved. Implementing a billing system could discourage use of RDRS. · SC members proposed fees only if RDRS evolves with features like APIs or RDAP integration. Emphasized the need to fund enhancements via requester fees + ICANN support. Expressed concern about resource commitment until “suecssor system” is in place. · SC members noted that any billing system, regardless of the charge, introduces significant complexity and operational costs. · SC members supported retaining current text in Recommendation 5 as a minimal viable statement on funding. Action Items: Gabriel to draft additional language for Recommendation 5. Discussion regarding Privacy/Proxy · SC members requested removal of “wall of text” in RDRS regarding privacy/proxy-related requests. · SC members supported the edit but suggested relocating it to Recommendation 2 (system enhancement/user experience). · SC members agreed it’s more of a user interface fix than a policy issue. · Suggested simplifying the rationale by removing references to “behavioural change.” Discussion on Recommendation 6 · SC members proposed GNSO Council formally ask the ICANN Board to reject the SSAD recommendations as a whole. Then the Recommendation can return to Council to enable new deliberations. · Emphasized treating SSAD recommendations as a complete package. · No objections raised. Discussion on Fundamental Rights Balancing · SC members proposed a broader approach where all registrars apply fundamental rights balancing, not just when GDPR applies. · Requested future edits to be developed in coordination with John McElwaine (regarding Rec8). · SC members clarified current SSAD language requires applying local law where GDPR is not applicable. Action Item: Farzaneh and John to discuss prior to next SC meeting and draft mutually agreeable language. 3. Discussion on RDRS SC meeting cadence/duration (10min) · SC Chair noted that the remaining SC meetings will be extended to 2hrs until all pending comments are resolved. · Next meeting 4 August 2025 at 17:30 UTC. 1. AOB (5min)

Review Document<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/docs.google.com/document/d/1cZnyjmibAysU…> Agenda: 1. Welcome (5min) * SC Chair opened the meeting and introduced the agenda. * SC Chair noted: * A new consolidated draft document has been shared by staff, combining all previous chapters for final review before public comment. * SC Members are kindly asked to focus only on the new consolidated document. * Staff created two supporting documents: * The final draft of the Findings report. * A Review Document to track and follow SC comments on the draft report. * When providing comments, SC member(s) must include alternative language to be considered. * Comments without proposals will be discarded or followed up on. * The main document is open for comments only; edits will be made by staff. * Document review continues until the week of August 11. * Consensus calls and final revisions will follow. * Comments can be made in either the report or the feedback table. * Staff will ensure consistency by transferring comments to the table. * Priority will be given to comments on Assignment 4 and formal recommendations. 1. Reminder/Refresher on Consensus Building Formalities (5min) · SC Charter states that for assignment 4 consensus is needed. https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/filefield_23493/annex-1-gnso-wg-… · ICANN org reviewed levels of consensus (full consensus, consensus, divergence). · The Chair will determine consensus levels; members can object to these determinations. 1.

Proposed updated language: · The RDRS SC agrees that there is currently no recommendation or requirement related to the disclosure of P/P data in SSAD/RDRS. The RDRS SC notes that some registrars who participate in RDRS voluntarily disclose this information, but this is not a requirement. The RDRS SC believes the process for and information provided concerning privacy/proxy data in RDRS should be an area the GNSO should consider for further policy development but does not prescribe how this work should occur. While issues of P/P data were out of scope for EPDP Phase 2, the RDRS SC believes this should be in scope for further work on the SSAD. However, the RDRS SC notes that policy implementation work is currently ongoing for the accreditation of privacy and proxy providers, and the RDRS SC notes that any further policy work should not conflict with this work. * New Recommendation on Standing Committee Continuation * SC members proposed maintaining a standing committee post-final report to: * Support future system refinements. * Clarify recommendations if needed during discussion on next steps between Board and Council. * Other SC member supported this to ensure continuity and responsiveness. 4. AOB (5min)
