Dear NPOC members
As a follow up to my email yesterday regarding additional "possible" requirements for Next Generation RDS, I would like to forward an excellent email with attachment that Farrell Folly has send to the NCSG explaining the Issue in easy terms. THANKS Farell!
This is a great way to learn to understand the topic. Enjoy!
As I said before, if you have any questions let me know and I will try to address them.
Yours
Klaus

Dear all,
In addition to my previous e-mail, I think it would be nice to recall a brief history about the next-gen RDS. You can either read this e-mail for brevity or download the attached presentation (from which I withdrew the information).
1. Why this PDP Working ?
WHOIS was created in the 80s to identify & contact those responsible for operation of Internet network resources. After nearly 15 years of GNSO task forces, working groups, workshops, surveys & studies, the ICANN community has been unable to reach consensus on comprehensive WHOIS policy reforms. In response to the 2012 WHOIS Policy Review Team’s Final Report, the ICANN Board launched the RDS PDP & the Expert Working Group (EWG) to inform it The EWG was tasked with taking a fresh approach by redefining the purpose of gTLD registration data & then proposing a new model for gTLD Registration Directory Services to address accuracy, privacy & access issues.
2. What is WHOIS
<<WHOIS is an overloaded term, it could mean:
ü Registration data
ü Access protocol (WHOIS protocol)
ü Directory Service
ü It is best to use individual terms
It was created in 1982, but as the Internet grew, WHOIS began to serve the needs of different stakeholders such as registrants, law enforcement, intellectual property & trademark owners, businesses & individual users - but the protocol remained largely unchanged. Through the Affirmation of Commitments (AOC), ICANN is committed to “enforcing its existing policy relating to WHOIS, subject to applicable laws. Such existing policy requires that ICANN implement measures to maintain timely, unrestricted & public access to accurate & complete WHOIS information, including registrant, technical, billing, & administrative contact information.">>
3. What is Next-Gen RDS
<< In 2012, the ICANN Board resolved to
ü launch a new effort to redefine the purpose of collecting, maintaining, & providing access to gTLD registration data, & consider safeguards for protecting data, as a foundation for a new gTLD policy & contractual negotiations, as appropriate
ü Prepare an Issue Report on the purpose of collecting & maintaining gTLD registration data & on solutions to improve accuracy & access to gTLD registration data, as part of a Board-initiated GNSO PDP
ü These efforts are collectively known as the: Next-Generation gTLD Registration Directory Services to Replace WHOIS (Next-Gen RDS)>>
This RDS is described by 180 principles and should address the following questions :
i. Users & Purposes
ii. Gated Access
iii. Privacy & Data Protection
iv. Data Quality
v. Data Elements
vi. Compliance & Accountability
vii. Implementation Model
viii. Cost
ix. Risks & Benefits
I hope this will help you understand more and stimulate your contribution.
