Important Documents for RDRS final report review:
Action Items:
Review
Draft Chapter 1:
Preparation for Draft Chapter 2:
Agenda:
·
SC members inquired if the Email/Comment shared by Steve Crocker can be discussed today.
·
The discussion was postponed, because Steve Crocker was an apology for the meeting.
·
The SC reviewed draft Chapter 1 of the RDRS Final Report report.
·
SC members requested additional time to submit comments, and agreed to finalize by the end of the week (COB Friday).
·
SC Members inquired about placeholders in Chapter One, particularly text in brackets (e.g., metrics and explanations).
·
ICANN Org provided clarification:
·
Support staff has used all the information provided by the SC in the RDRS workbook as the foundation.
·
To enhance user-friendliness and provide more context for non-SC member support staff, they have included additional high-level trends (green text) for
the consideration of the RDRS SC.
·
Trends and recommendations drawn directly from the workbook are retained in black.
·
Discussions included whether to represent data in bulleted form or as narrative. Consensus leaned toward bulleted for clarity.
·
SC members asked to highlight report data reflecting a
defined time period (end of the first pilot year) and include clear introductory notes explaining the time focus.
·
SC Chair added that during the drafting period the report will focus on 1-year RDRS usage data. However, closer to the publication deadline, the SC will decide if the
data should be updated.
·
Debate arose regarding
denial reasons provided by registrars. SC members raised concerns including lack of transparency and whether reasons reflect true explanations.
·
SC members proposed to list
all denial categories with metrics.
·
SC members discussed to clarify that reasons are self-selected by registrars and contextualised with a footnote.
Action Items:
·
ICANN Org that the chapter will focus on the proposed
system enhancements from the RDRS Workbook.
·
Some system enhancement proposals lack detail/clear explanation in the RDRS Workbook.
·
Currently enhancements with a status selected (far right column) are those that were discussed by SC as necessary to move forward with, approved, in process or closed.
Everything else does not have a status.
·
SC Members are kindly asked to revisit the
RDRS Workbook and confirm whether the system enhancement proposals without a status selected should be included in the draft chapter 2 (focusing on system enhancements) as potential future enhancements, and if so to ensure the explanation of the request
is clear or if they would like to revoke the proposal. Please include that designation in the
Comments column of the Workbook.
Action Items:
·
ICANN Org updated the RDRS SC that the system enhancement allowing registrars to
update request categories has been implemented.
·
This enhancement allows for correcting improperly categorized requests (e.g., non-law enforcement labelled as law enforcement).
·
12 February: APTLD 87 - Hong Kong - Session: “Ploughing or Kowtowing? Challenges of Managing LEA’s Information Requests
·
19 February: M3AAWG 63rd General Meeting- Portugal - Session: Helping ICANN create a workable system for obtaining non-public domain registration data). This event
doesn’t have remote participation, but Rod Rasmussen will send notes to ICANN and a focus group meeting will be scheduled with ICANN (including Seb) to review the suggested improvements for RDRS from the session
