Fwd: Re: Request for additional "possible" requirements for Next Generation RDS

June 15, 2016

      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:

üRegistration data

üAccess protocol (WHOIS protocol)

üDirectory Service

üIt 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

ülaunch 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

üPrepare 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

üThese 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.
