Fwd: [pdp-pcceg-feb06] current proposal - take 2
by Greg Ruth Feb. 16, 2007

Feb. 16, 2007

Dear ISPCP constituency members, The PDP task force for policy concerning existing registry contracts (aka "Feb06") has now come to the point where the last remaining piece of business is the recommendation concerning the 5th item in the Terms of Reference, concerning the use of registry data. Our constituency has to decide whether it supports the proposed recommendation or not. For your reference, item 5 of the TOR is: > 5a Examine whether or not there should be a policy regarding the > use of registry data for purposes other than for which it was > collected, and if so, what the elements of that policy should be. > > 5b. Determine whether any policy is necessary to ensure non- > discriminatory access to registry data that is made available to > third parties. The task force has been unable to reach conclusions to item 5 because of a lack of hard data concerning the type of data collected and its use. (Generally, the Registries are against recommending any policy at all, claiming our stated concerns lack any solid basis.) Accordingly, the task force is reduced to proposing the following recommendation, to be included in the final task force report: > In order to determine whether there is a need for a new consensus > policy on the collection and use of registry data, including traffic > data, for purposes other then which is was collected, there is first > a need for a properly targeted study by an independent third party on > the data collected and the uses to which it is put. The study should > provide appropriate safeguards to protect any data provided for the > purposes of the study, and the confidentiality of which registry, or > other group, provides the data. The findings of the study should be > published and available for public review. > > A SOW should be developed by the GNSO council, with appropriate > public review, to cover an analysis of the concerns for data > collection and use, the practice involved in collection and use of > data - including traffic data, and the availability, when > appropriate, for non disciminatory access to that data. > > It is recommended that a current processes document be developed, > describing the current Registry practices for the collection of data > and the uses of that data; e.g. but not limited to, operating the > registry; preparing marketing materials to promote registration of > domain names; gathering of null returns, ensuring the integrity of > > the Registry, or the DNS. This report should be available to the > group doing the external study and should be made available to the > public for comment. > > After examining the results of the independent > study and public discussions recommended above, the GNSO council > should examine the findings and determine what, if any, further > policy process is required. We simply need to report back to the Task Force whether the ISPCP supports this recommendation or not. Personally, I believe it is the best we can hope for, but I invite comments from the constituency members and will be guided by that inpur. We need to respond by 22 February 2007.

.xxx Briefing Notes
by Mark McFadden Jan. 26, 2007

Jan. 26, 2007

======================================================================= Internet Service Provider and Connectivity Provider Constituency Generic Names Supporting Organization ======================================================================= NOTES - Conference Call for .xxx Briefing Mark McFadden and Tony Harris represented the ISPCP on this conference call. These notes are a very rough guide to the conversation during the call. A PowerPoint presentation was made available to the participants and it is attached to this message. The ICM Registry CEO gave an overview of the .xxx application and the process that they have been going through. In March of 2004 ICM Registry submitted the sTLD application and in June of 2005 the ICANN Board determined that the ICM proposal met the published the sTLD criteria. In May of 2006 the ICANN Board rejected proposed registry agreements. In January 2007 ICANN posted a revised, negotiated registry agreement. The ICM Registry claims significant support for the proposal -- however, they are not making the organizations that have supported the proposal available to the public. ICM's Registry has a pre-registration service that is already in place. ICM is reserving expanded geographic identifiers as well as a list of names that will not be available for registry. The ICM CEO stressed that there are strict eligibility requirements -- they must be members of the online adult community. The ICM Registry makes a distinction between non-resolving strings and resolving strings (the resolving string holders have to be members of the online adult community, those who are not resolving the strings would not have to be members of the adult services community). Regarding whois: they will be supporting proxy services that are approved by ICM. Holder data will be verified and retained by the ICM registry. Marilyn Cade brought up the problem of performance of the proxy service provider. The ICM CEO said that this would be addressed in performance contracts between ICM and the proxy agents. The proxy agents would probably be the lawyers of those adult industry participants. A significant part of the discussion revolved around the ability to use proxy services. For those names that are not resolving, there will not be a significant verification of the holder of the name. Non-resolving names can never become resolving names according to the rules of the registry. Non-resolving names can be registered by anyone for any reason. There is no qualification rule for non-resolving names. IP holders do not want to have to go after all the possible variants of a trademark holders registered names. There was significant discussion about mechanisms that could be used to abuse trademark or IP in either non-resolving strings or in the potential of moving a non-resolving name to resolving status. Much of the discussion was technical legal discussion surrounding the protection of servicemarks and trademarks. ICM has also been offering (since may of 2006) a free "Pre-Reservation service to IP holders. This gives trademark holders a chance to reserve non-resolving strings. If, during the pre-registration period, there is only one registration for a name, that organization will get to register that string. There will be a fee for "stop" requests made by trademark holders. ICRA will be relaunched on the 13th of February of this year as the Family Online Safety Institute (FOSI). FOSI's mission will be to be a body where technology and policy stakeholders meet in the field of family online safety. Founding members include AOL, AT&T, BT, Cisco, CompTIA, the GSM Association, Microsoft, RuleSpace, SolarSoft, Telmex and Verizon. ICM is in negotiations at this time regarding how its sites will be labeled. Questions outside Intellectual Property concerns were ruled out of order and not allowed on the call. Becky Burr said that, if the ICANN Board approved the registry agreement, they would still have time to address the policy issues that came up regarding IP during the call. The ICANN Board, it was noted, approved the application to be added into the root. The issue on the table now is the contract. The inital contract was rejected on concenrs about policy development commitments. Becky Burr offered to get together with anyone in Washington DC. Becky offered to answer questions via email. The conference call ended after 60 minutes.
