Hello All,
The RySG appreciates the RrSG’s proposal regarding changes to the Urgent Request Section language proposed by ICANN, however, Registries believe that the original
ICANN language, with minimal changes, is a more straightforward approach that can also address RR concerns. We believe that the edited language below, combined with the shared agreement among the IRT that any actions under this language are based solely on
the establishment of a mutually agreed authentication system for law enforcement, negates the need to add the additional procedural language.
For more context, this also assumes that the authentication system (the System) currently being developed by the IRT/PSWG Small Group will:
1-Be specific to use by law enforcement and that law enforcement will be defined as part of the System;
2-The Terms and Conditions of an authenticated law enforcement user of the System will include requirements for said user to have done
their due diligence to ensure the request received is in fact “urgent” and lawful.
If the requests Contracted Parties receive have been subject to this rigor, we don’t think that the more specific additional language is required. In addition,
we believe that requests meeting this level of rigor would not require more than 24 hours to respond.
Looking forward to discussion during our next meeting. Please find the redline attached.
Thank you,
RySG
