Hi Gemma, Thank you for sharing the responses to the circulated questions on behalf of the GAC small team on registration data. I look forward to discussing further with everyone during our IRT call later today.

Kind Regards, Gemma [cid:image001.gif@01DBCA27.A7416E20] GEMMA CAROLILLO Deputy Head of Unit Next Generation Internet European Commission DG Communications Networks, Content and Technology Rue de la Loi, 51 1000 Brussels, Belgium +32 2 297 49 81 gemma.carolillo@ec.europa.eu 1.The ICANN Board and GNSO Council agreed that responses to Urgent requests should be provided in minutes or hours and not in days. Do IRT members agree that if 24 hours equates to 1 calendar day, then a response to an urgent request cannot take longer than 24 hours and cannot be in business days? Yes. As has been discussed in recent trilateral meetings of the GAC, GNSO and ICANN Board and has been reflected earlier in the GAC ICANN77 communiqué, and then again in the ICANN82 communiqué, and given the exceptional circumstances underpinning urgent requests and the vital public safety interests related to them, responding to such requests within 24 hours is considered an appropriate response time in order to fulfil their purpose. 2. Do IRT members agree that a timeline to respond to an urgent request measured in another unit than business days can be implemented consistent with Recommendation 18 ? Yes. Recommendation 18 refers to urgent requests as those for which “evidence is supplied to show an immediate need for disclosure”. It furthermore defers to the IRT to define the timeline, while the tentative ceiling of “less than X business days” is only a departing point for discussion. 3. Taking into consideration that specifics about the investigation will not be provided, what additional overarching requirements do contracted parties need to quickly review an urgent request and minimize the amount of time needed to provide a response? [n/a – question for CPs] 4. If an authenticated entity submits a request that specifies its jurisdiction and asserts that the urgent request falls under categories such as imminent threat to life, serious bodily injury, critical infrastructure, or child exploitation, is that sufficient to provide a response to the requester within 24 hours This should be sufficient but we are open for further considerations from the contracted parties, with the caveat that LEAs cannot be asked to disclose sensitive details concerning their investigations.

We plan to use your feedback to facilitate the next discussion on 21 May and to identify the next steps for determining an appropriate response time. Unfortunately, we must cancel our upcoming session scheduled for Wednesday, 14 May due to scheduling conflicts. We are keeping the two additional sessions planned: on Wednesday, 21 May, and during ICANN83 on Tuesday, 10 June. During the last discussion on the 23rd, the IRT members raised several interesting points and perspectives, and based on those, we prepared a few slides containing questions to consider with your stakeholder groups. Please review the attached slides and the follow-up questions and provide your responses on the list. For those of you who attended the CPH Summit, I hope you enjoyed your time in Hanoi. Thank you for your continued engagement.
