Hi Stephanie, 

You will see i did reference text from the EWG final report and yes we can pull these two versions together.  In my opinion my statement is a superset of the original version that focused mostly on privacy.  Note I agree 100% that privacy  is super important, but other concerns must be included and in scope of the problem we need to solve.  

However I’m also certain the RDS WG has not been tasked with developing a technical solution - so I’m not sure why the problem statement would have a “technical stance”.  (I may have missed that discussion)   ICANNs focus is policy, and the “problem” we have been tasked to address is to develop a policy that “addresses the tension between the varied and competing views of ICANN constituencies.”

Is this not the EWG statement?  I thought we were aiming for something based on a more technical stance, ie the draft that was on the table?   How can we pull these two different visions together?

Hi Alex,

I like the idea of a call - and I'm available next Monday.

Thanks for drafting your proposed problem statement.  I'll take a look and let you have my thoughts asap.  But I'm sure it's perfect as is.  :-)

Hi James,

I’m sorry to hear you will be leaving the WG.  

Problem-Statement team,

I think in order to move things forward we should take Lisa up on her offer to set up a doodle pool and try and set up a call late this week or on Monday of next week.    

Thoughts?

Also, I’ve not heard any feedback on my proposed purpose statement - should I assume everyone thinks its perfect and we are done?  :)  

FWIW it does cover the concerns raised in the original version (privacy) on the Etherpad, but also touches upon other important issues that we must come to agreement on.   

Thanks
Alex

Hi Alex,
Unfortunately due to come circumstances I have actually just left the PDP working group last night so won’t be in a position to keep any movement on this, I hope that everyone involved can keep working on this and I hope to rejoin potentially in Phase 2!
Apologies for having to drop it mid work stream!

Hi James, All,

So how do we move forward with coming to agreement on our problem statement before next week (as requested on the last RDS call). 

Does it make sense to set up a call?  

Thanks!
Alex

Hi All,

I took a shot at drafting a problem statement using the ether pad tool.   If you look at the ether pad timeline you will see I decided to simplify/shorten what I originally wrote.   I’ve copied the text I ended up with below for convenience.   Looking forward to hearing your thoughts….

Draft Problem Statement (a.k.a. What problem are we trying to solve.)  

WHOIS has been the source of almost two decades of study, discussion and debate within the ICANN community and beyond.  The Next Generation Registration Directory Service (RDS) PDP Working Group has been tasked to define the policies associated a new and improved RDS that will meet the needs of the existing and ever evolving global Internet.  

The core problem that will need to be solved in defining this policy is addressing the tension among the varied and competing views of ICANN constituencies on key issues related to the right to privacy, anonymity, intellectual property protection, security and abuse, among others. [2]  At a high level this means understanding the purpose of domain name registration data [3] in addition to ensuring a system to support domain name registration and maintenance which: 
  • Provides appropriate access to accurate, reliable, and uniform registration data;
  • Protects the privacy of Registrant information;
  • Enables a reliable mechanism for identifying, establishing and maintaining the ability to contact Registrants;
  • Supports a framework to address issues involving Registrants, including but not limited to: consumer protection, investigation of cybercrime, and intellectual property protection; and 
  • Provides an infrastructure to address appropriate law enforcement needs. [4]
