Dear all,

At ICANN57 in Hyderabad, our WG began initial deliberation on possible RDS policy requirements, starting with the set of possible requirements (PRs) for Phase 1, Code A (goals of the system), no identified dependencies. The initial deliberation list discussed in Hyderabad was posted, along with meeting notes, transcript, and recordings, on the ICANN57 meeting page: https://community.icann.org/x/gYzDAw

Next week, we will continue our initial deliberations where we left off by discussing a new set of possible requirements for Phase 1, Code A. To help you prep for next week's meeting, the initial deliberation list to be used in Week 2 (attached) has also been posted on the 22 November meeting page: https://community.icann.org/x/v4-DAw

For Week 2, the attached initial deliberation list has been updated to add proposed next steps for each PR started in Hyderabad, along with a few more Phase 1, Code A PRs for Data Elements and Privacy. New PRs to be discussed on 22 November have also been flagged as "pending deliberation." As in Hyderabad, we probably will not get through all of the PRs prepped for Week 2, but we hope to start deliberating a couple of PRs under each charter question. Per our plan to rotate the order in which charter questions are deliberated, Week 2 will start with Data Element (DE) PRs, followed by Privacy (PR) and then Users/Purposes (UP).

All of the PRs included in the Week 2 initial deliberation list were copied in their entirety verbatim from the most recent WG possible requirements list:

Draft 5: RDS PDP Initial List of Possible Requirements for gTLD registration data and directory services (28 October 2016)

Those unable to participate in the Hyderabad RDS PDP WG meeting may wish to review the notes, transcript, and/or recording to catch up on Week 1 deliberations and the " Approach to reach consensus during Phase 1" reviewed at the start of that meeting.

Best regards
Lisa
