The EWG is expected to commence its analysis and deliberations immediately, with the objective of discussing its progress online and with the community at the Beijing ICANN Meeting. Mandate
A Board-directed Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) policy development process (PDP) is expected to follow the work of the EWG to evaluate the policy implications of the EWG's recommendations. The EWG's objectives are to 1) define the purpose of collecting and maintaining gTLD registration data, and consider how to safeguard the data, and 2) provide a proposed model for managing gTLD directory services that addresses related data accuracy and access issues, while taking into account safeguards for protecting data. The EWG will be informed by Internet stakeholders' activities, and the extensive work of the GNSO work over the last decade. The group also will consider the WHOIS Policy Review Team Report< http://www.icann.org/en/about/aoc-review/whois/final-report-11may12-en.pdf
[PDF, 1.44 MB], address key questions set forth by the Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC<http://www.icann.org/en/groups/ssac/documents/sac-055-en.pdf>[PDF, 348 KB]), and take into consideration current and future Internet operations and services. In addition, the EWG will address concerns of the parties who provide, collect, maintain, publish or use gTLD registration data as it relates to ICANN's remit. EWG Schedule and Operations
The EWG's activities are expected to be conducted from February through May 2013 and may be extended, if needed. Work will be conducted online and through conference calls and periodic face-to-face meetings.
When the EWG's efforts get underway, the group's WIKI page<https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=40175189
will be updated to keep the public apprised of its work.
