April 11, 2018

Dear All, Kindly find below the action items and notes captured in today’s call. They have been published on the meeting wiki page, along with call recordings and attendance record: https://community.icann.org/x/gYH3B. Best Regards, Ariel Ariel Xinyue Liang Policy Analyst | Washington, DC Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Action Items: 1. Sub Team members to suggest additional edits, as well as additional questions related to the ADNDRC and MSFD Supplemental Rules, directly on the Google Document<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IdBPxXskvX6a1MbZcLFA8bBvg5fji8iuSIt4EnT…> by Monday, 16 April at 23:59 UTC and inform others to review via the mailing list when edits are added. Staff to convert a clean version of the Google Doc, incorporating all edits/comments as is, and forward to the full WG on Tuesday, 17 April. 2. Staff to incorporate suggestions/edits discussed in the meeting on the Google Doc [DONE] 3. Staff to insert the already received responses to Provider questions in the Google Doc; Sub Team to evaluate whether these questions should be struck, or need to be asked differently to gain further clarification. 4. Phil, Lori, and Susan to refine the questions related to GDPR impact and consider whether a new section needs to be added: * The Complaint (Q3): Have you encountered any issues receiving WHOIS info needed for URS proceedings when dealing with Complaints against Registrants due to privacy laws/regulations? If so, what are the countries/nations of these Registrants? * The Complaint (Q13): How will the URS rules pertaining to cases involving domains utilizing privacy or proxy services be affected if full access to WHOIS data is no longer publicly available due to GDPR implementation? What WHOIS data elements do you require to perform your role as a URS dispute resolution provider? * Others (Q1): Do you envision any difficulty complying with the provisions related to WHOIS contained in the URS Rules, Procedure, Technical Requirements, and your own Supplemental Rules, upon the 25 May 2018 effective date of GDPR enforcement? 5. Justine to redraft the following question: * Examiner Determination (Q6): (To FORUM and MFSD) How do FORUM and MFSD compel their Examiners to comply with their such templates in writing their determinations or guidelines? Noting previous remarks that the quality of determinations vary from Examiner to Examiner. 6. Sub Team to table Michael K’s suggestion to Examiner (Q1) for further discussion with the full WG: “I would appreciate if we could dig a little deeper into Q1 under examiners, specifically to look into what (if any) proportion of the Examiners have experience representing the registrant side, or if they tend to mostly have a background representing trademark holders.” Notes: * Communications (Q4): Staff to reword the question in a positive manner * Communications (Q6): Staff to add reference to URS Rules 2(f) * The Complaint (Q3): Don’t limit the question within the scope of EU nations, as there are privacy laws in other countries. The question should be territory neutral. Perhaps add a question asking “If so, what are the countries/nations of these Registrants?” * The Complaint (Q8): Add “How do you find this information?” * The Complaint (Q12): Drop the explanatory notes within the brackets; add the third part of the question: “Are you able to determine whether the mistake was due to Complainant error, or a WHOIS inaccuracy? If so, please share with us your analysis.” * The Complaint (Q13): GDPR is going to impact domains not registered via P/P services as well. An additional, overarching question may need to be asked: “How would you perceive the URS related rules and procedures change after GDPR goes into effect?” ACTION: Phil, Lori, and Susan to reconsider wording this question, as well as Q3 under The Complaint and Q1 under Others; staff to remove these three questions from the Google Doc. * Fees (Q1): Drop the question “What are your filing fees for Complainants and Respondents (where applicable)?” as it has been answered in Providers’ Supplemental Rules. * Administrative Review (Q1): Direct the question only to FORUM as the other two Providers have answered it * Administrative Review (Q2): Drop the question as it has been answered by all three Providers * Examiners (Q1): Michael K’s suggestion seems unanswerable by the Providers. Table the discussion till when the full WG reviews the suggested questions. * Examiner Determination (Q6): ACTION: Justine to reword and clarify the question.

Consolidated List of Proposed Questions to URS Providers
by Ariel Liang April 6, 2018

April 6, 2018

Dear All, Following up on Phil’s email and action items, staff is circulating the consolidated list of proposed questions to URS Providers, including the additional questions pertaining to Technical Requirements and Supplemental Rules captured on Wednesday’s meeting and sent by Justine Chew to the mailing list. To facilitate editing and finalization of the questions, staff developed two documents: 1. Questions Only: This document provides a clean list of all questions proposed/already asked so far. You may comment and suggest edits to the questions via the Google Doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IdBPxXskvX6a1MbZcLFA8bBvg5fji8iuSIt4EnT… (PDF version is attached). 1. With Responses & References: This document lists not only all questions (Column B - same as the ones on the “Questions Only” document), but also includes responses already received from URS Providers, as well as references to Supplemental Rules and staff notes. The document is view only. Google Doc: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1I-qe_I4OkQT7IU_rjHMQVa9Ebj8Ik6vay1v… (PDF version attached). The structure and order of the questions on both documents are exactly the same. Staff hopes it would not be too cumbersome for the Sub Team to cross reference in order to refine and narrow down the proposed questions. If more questions related to the Supplemental Rules are sent to the mailing list by COB today (Friday, 6 April), staff will add them to both documents. Other research & working documents, including the mapping document of URS Rules/Procedures/Supplemental Rules, can be found here: https://community.icann.org/x/FBu8B Thank you, and have a great weekend!

Re: [Gnso-rpm-providers] Providers Sub Team Call: Questions on Supplemental Rules and High Level Technical Requirements
by Justine Chew April 5, 2018

April 5, 2018

Dear colleagues, My apologies for having to miss the call later, it's getting rather late where I am. In the interim, I had a handful of questions to raise (noting that some may be already contained in any one of the pools of information that staff is compiling and sorting):- *(1) Supplemental Rules* *Generally* - Do the providers undertake their own internal reviews of their Supplemental Rules and if yes, how often, and have they found a need to tighten or provide greater clarity on their Rules in any way? *Annexes to Complaints, in particular SMD* - Clause 4(i) - how does the Forum handle the submission (through its online complaint filing site) of a relevant SMD proof of use from the TMCH which is expressly provided for in the Rules clause 3(b)(v)? An SMD is typically a file with the extension .smd and such format is not expressly provided for under the Forum's Annex A. As comparison, MFSD's Supplementary Rules Clause 3 expressly specifies acceptance of .smd file as an annex. - Does ADNDRC's electronic complaint form (Form C_URS) also allow the uploading of .smd files as MFSD? *Communication* (one that Phil had picked up on last week) - How is ADNDRC not in breach of the Rules Clause 2(a)(i) Procedures Clause 4.3 in relying SOLELY on email as the mode for issuing a Notice of Complaint? *Impartiality and Independence of Examiners* - Do all 3 providers undertake independent inquiries to adequately satisfy themselves as to the impartiality and independence of their Examiners or do they merely rely on the oath or declaration made by each Examiner? - Has there been any incidences of allegations of partiality or non-independence or biasedness of an Examiner being raised by any party of an URS proceeding either during the initial determination process or as ground for a review or appeal? - Has ADNDRC experienced an event where an Examiner refused or failed to act per its Supplementary Rules Article 8.4? What motivated ADNDRC to include that Article 8.4? *Determinations* - Both the Forum and MFSD provide a template or guidelines to their Examiners in writing a determination. Doe ADNDRC do the same? - How do Forum and MFSD compel their Examiners to comply with such template or guidelines? (Noting previous remarks that the quality of determinations vary from Examiner to Examiner) Also questions around the selection, qualifications and training of Examiners which I recall have been adequately raised elsewhere. *(2) High Level Technical Requirements* - Clause 5, Registrar Requirement 2: what does "a normal domain name lifecycle" mean? In concluding, I am looking forward to reviewing the full list of proposed questions, and will be happy to assist in an onward 'wordsmith-ing' effort of those questions, where necessary.

Actions and Notes: URS Providers Call 04 April 2018
by Ariel Liang April 5, 2018

April 5, 2018

Dear All, Please see below the actions and notes from today’s call. They have been posted on the meeting wiki page, along with the call recording, chat, and attendance record: https://community.icann.org/x/QoLpB. For next week’s call (Wednesday, 11 April at 17:00-18:30 UTC), due to other simultaneous calls that will be using WebEx teleconference room (only two available for the GNSO), it would be audio only. GNSO Secretariat will follow up with dial in details in the call invitation. Staff will make relevant documents available via Google Doc and wiki to facilitate the discussion. Please let us know if you have any question/concern. Thank you, Ariel Ariel Xinyue Liang Policy Analyst | Washington, DC Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) == ACTION ITEMS: 1. Sub Team to review the Supplemental Rules of ADNDRC and MFSD and raise any additional questions on the Sub Team mailing list by Friday, 06 April. 2. Staff to consolidate all proposed questions, including the additional ones raised by Sub Team members on the mailing list by COB Friday, 06 April. 3. Phil Corwin to complete the initial editing/refinement of the proposed questions and share them with the Sub Team by Tuesday, 10 April. 4. Sub Team to finalize proposed questions during next week’s call on Wednesday, 11 April at 17:00-18:30 UTC. 5. Staff to check the definition of “Rollback” (DONE – please see below) (page 2 of Technical Requirements document) Non-URS State (URS Rollback): This is the state of a domain name that is not under either URS Lock or URS Suspension. If the domain name is in URS Lock or URS Suspension, and if the URS Provider requests that the domain name be transitioned to a Non-URS State, the Registry Operator MUST restore the original information of the domain name. The reversion of a domain name to a Non-URS State is referred to as a URS Rollback. · Note: The Registry Operator MUST update the domain name to set the NS and DS information that was originally present in the domain name before the URS Suspension. If glue records were removed when the Registry Operator activated the URS Suspension, the Registry Operator MUST restore the required glue records. NOTES: 1. Technical Requirements (Questions to Providers) * Registry Requirement 2: Have Providers experienced any difficulties having the URS Lock activated on the disputed domain name within 24 hours after sending the request to Registry Operators? * Registry Requirement 5: Have Providers gotten notifications from Registry Operators via email regarding the completion of URS actions on a domain name? * Registry Requirement 6: Have Providers gotten notification via email from Registry Operator if a URS Locked or URS Suspended domain name has been either deleted or purged? * Registry Requirement 7: Have Providers gotten information from ICANN with regard to the point of contact of BERO appointed by Registry Operators? * Registry Requirement 10: * Do Providers know any cases that Registry Operators refused to offer the option for URS Complainant to extend a URS Suspended domain name’s registration for an additional year? * Why during the one additional year of URS Suspension, the domain name must remain registered to the Registrant, instead of the successful Complainant? * To implement this provision, there seem to be eligibility restrictions for TLDs. Why the inconsistency? * General Questions: * Do Providers envision any difficulty complying with the provisions related to WHOIS in the URS Rules, Procedure, Technical Requirements, and Supplemental Rules, given the uncertainly related to GDPR that goes into effect after 25 May 2018? * Do Providers have any difficulties complying with the highly technical requirements (e.g., PGP Keys, etc.)? * Questions to Other Stakeholders * [Registry Operators] Registry Requirement 5: If URS Suspension is activated, should it be optional or mandatory for Registry Operator to notify the Registrars of domain names that may be affected by potential resolution issues of child hosts that depend on the URS Suspended domain name? Would it be a burden to change “MAY” to “MUST” in the provision for sending such notifications? * [ICANN GDD] Registry Requirement 8: Have ICANN received ERSR Waiver requests from Registry Operators? Has this provision been implemented? * [ICANN GDD] Registry-Registrar Agreement: Have Registry Operators modified their Registry-Registrar Agreement to reflect these two requirements? * [ICANN GDD] Registrar Requirement 2: Clarification on this provision is needed. 1. FORUM Supplemental Rules (Questions to Providers) * 4(b): Have Providers encountered any issues when dealing with Registrants from EU nations whose WHOIS info is needed URS proceedings? * 4(c): How will the rules pertaining to privacy or proxy services be affected if full access to WHOIS data is no longer available due to GDPR implementation? * 5(d): * What is the purpose of this provision in the Supplemental Rules? * Has there been any URS case filed against multiple Respondents? (Berry: None – there have been cases where Registrant and Organization are both listed, but they look to be the same). * Have Examiners received requests for separate hearings from the multiple Respondents in the same URS proceeding? * 7(a)(b)(c): Have Providers received joint requests for a Stay of the Administrative Proceeding? If so, was the case reinstated or dismissed as a result of the Stay? Have Providers received any requests for a Stay post appointment of the Examiner? * 10(a): Can Providers provide a copy of the oath taken by the Examiners for being neutral and independent? Is the oath signed by the Examiners? * 10(b): Have any Examiner voluntarily disclosed any conflict of interest? * 10(c): Have any Party filed a request to challenge the selection of an Examiner? If so, how was the conflict of interest discovered? * 10(d): Why the request to challenge the selection of an Examiner must be filed within one (1) Business Day? Have any Party filed a challenge beyond the required time period? Have there been any difficulty to meet the deadline for filing a challenge? * 12: Why the phrase “without prejudice” is used in 12(a) but “with or without prejudice” is used in 12(b)? Why the inconsistency? * 15(b): What is the purpose of this provision? Has any Party requested to include or exclude certain information from a publicly available Determination? If so, how did the Provider act on such request? * 16(d): * How often was a three-member Appeal Panel requested? * To appoint Examiners to the three-member Appeal Panel, did the Providers encounter any difficulties appointing Examiners from each parties’ list to the Panel? * Appendix A: Did any Party submit an individual file in excess 10MB? Did any Party submit electronic case documents in excess of 10MB, in the aggregate, per domain name? 1. Next Steps/Next Meeting * Sub Team members to review the Supplemental Rules of ADNDRC and MFSD and raise questions via the mailing list by Friday, 06 April for incorporation. * Wednesday, 11 April would be the last meeting of the Sub Team; task is to finalize all proposed questions for URS Providers; Phil to take the first stab at editing the questions and send the draft final questions by Tuesday, 10 April. * After questions are finalized and forwarded to the full WG, the Sub Team would be dissolved. * Providers may respond within 30 days after receiving the final questions.
