Team, I'm writing to follow up on the discussion we began toward the end of last Wednesday's IRT call on Recommendation #7, and specifically what the intention of that recommendation was. The EPDP Phase 1 Final Report makes it very clear that the registrant data elements (as well as the tech and name server data elements) enumerated in section 6.2 of the draft consensus policy are OPTIONAL for the registrar to transfer to the registry. The recommendation text makes reference to the data elements workbooks that were included in Annex D of the Final Report, which further clarify that the transfer of these data elements from the registrar to the registry is optional based on the policies, terms and conditions of the registry. During the call on Wednesday, there was some confusion about this topic and there was an assumption made by some that if these data elements are collected by the registrar, then they must be transferred to the registry - however, this is not what Recommendation #7 states or means. If the registry requires the data elements per its policies, terms or conditions, AND there is an appropriate legal basis and data processing agreement in place between the registry and its registrars, then (and only then) must the registrar transfer the data elements. However, if the registry does NOT require the data elements, then the registrar is NOT obligated to transfer those data elements to the registry. That is what the "optionality" under the "transfer logic" of the table in Recommendation #7 refers to. It's also worth noting that in the Scorecard that accompanied its resolution on the Phase 1 recommendations, the Board asks the EPDP to consider "whether the suggested corrections contained in the RySG's comments and the accompanying chart in Appendix G more accurately reflect the Phase 1 consensus". When the RySG developed those comments, we recognized that the recommendation text was potentially confusing, so we suggested a more clear way of presenting the recommendation. I'm including that at the bottom of this email so you can all review. I believe this more accurately reflects the expressed intention of Recommendation #7 and may be useful to ICANN staff in thinking about how to re-draft this part of the policy appropriately.

Thanks for sending this, Marc. What you've described matches my understanding of the Report, and my memory of the work we did on those Workbooks to go through each data element and understand what was required of it. -- Sarah Wyld Domains Product Team Tucows +1.416 535 0123 Ext. 1392 On 7/15/2019 3:06 PM, Anderson, Marc via IRT.RegDataPolicy wrote:
