New draft: Rec1 Strategic Priority
by Cathrin.BAUER-BULST＠ec.europa.eu Aug. 14, 2018

Aug. 14, 2018

Dear all, please find attached a new draft of the strategic priority subgroup report. I have tried to address Lisa's comments about the rationale for the recommendation which we discussed on the call. I have also added a sentence to start to address Stephanie's well-founded concern, which I believe deserves more discussion on another call, as we had no time to delve into two points: * the issue of how to criticise implementation of recommendations which may have been impossible to measure from the start, and * how we want to deal with the previous RT's recommendations - my recollection from the last F2F was that we would clarify somewhere that they were not superseded by the present report but I may be wrong. Perhaps we can find some time to discuss this in the next calls, possibly for a future iteration of the report. Best regards Cathrin

Compliance Grandfathering Language
by Volker Greimann Aug. 14, 2018

Aug. 14, 2018

Hi Susan, how about this alternate version: f) Grandfathered domain names In 2013, there were 18 existing legacy TLDs and 146 new gTLDs added for a total of 164 gTLDs. About 30% of the domain names sampled by the WHOIS ARS program in its 6th Cycle were determined to be so-called 'grandfathered domains' to which only the WHOIS requirements under the 2009 RAA, but not those of the 2013 RAA apply as they were registered with registrars under the 2009 RAA. Under the 2009 RAA the collection and display of Registrant email address, postal address or phone number and the validation or verification of certain data elements were not required. Grandfathered domain names cease to be considered as such upon transfer to a registrar under the 2013 RAA and/or upon making an update to the registrant information. As such, the WHOIS ARS study has recorded a steady decrease of such grandfathered domain names from cycle to cycle from 63.7% in June 2015 to 30.3% in January 2018. *Analysis:* If we assume the current sample of domain names in the ARS study of 30% domain names falling under the definition of grandfathered domains then we can extrapolate this to 30% of all domain names registered MAY may not have complete registrant data collected, displayed, verified or validated. According to GDD this could include up to 180,000,000 domain name registrations. While the number of grandfathered domains continues to shrink with deletions, transfer and updates this still constitutes a significant number of domain name registrations. While registrars are not required to apply the 2013 RAA requirements to grandfathered domain names, they may chose to do so for convenience sake. This may result in domain name registrations that would be considered grandfathered registrations by the ARS and the GDD but are in fact already fully compliant with the 2013 RAA requirements. GDD has provided additional clarification to our question about how many domain names actually do not include the 2013 RAA required information in the registrant field. Their response is below: /"It’s important to note that if a Grandfathered record provides an email or telephone number, WHOIS ARS will assesses those fields for accuracy. While the WHOIS ARS doesn’t include % of missing Registrant Email and Telephone numbers for grandfathered registrations vs. non-grandfathered registrations; the overall missing counts of Registrant email and telephone numbers based on our subsample seem fairly low. / // /In the latest ARS report the number of missing registrant email addresses and phone numbers are very low. This does not completely address the concern of the review team that all domain name registrations must adhere to the same data collection requirements."/ // *Based on this analysis, the subgroup identified the following Problems/Issues:* Current WHOIS policies do not apply equally to all gTLD domain name registrations. A transition mechanism has been incorporated into the RAA through the requirements becoming applicable on transfers and updates, however it may be desirable to set an end date for the transition process to ensure equivalent data quality over all registrations. While current trends seem to suggest a steady continuation of the phasing-out process, it is conceivable that the number of grandfathered domain names will continue to stay in the 30% rate for many years to come or at least significantly slow down unless the 2013 RAA requirements and policies be made binding on all the domain name registrations irrespective of when they were registered. *To address these issues, the subgroup proposes the following recommendation (further detailed in the next section)*: The ICANN Board should direct ICANN Organization to review grandfathered domain names to determine the percentage of such domains where information is missing from the RDS Registrant field. If more than 15% of all gTLD domain name registrations are found to lack data in the Registrant field that is required under the 2013 RAA but not required under the 2009 RAA, then the ICANN Board should initiate action intended to ensure that all gTLD domain names adhere to the same registration data collection requirements [within 12 months] provided that such action does not unduly impact the rights of registrants in the use of their domain name and does not create an undue burden upon registrars who would have to enforce any such requirement. -- Bei weiteren Fragen stehen wir Ihnen gerne zur Verfügung.

Fwd: Action items on Consumer Trust to be completed by 10 August (23:59 UTC)
by Erika Mann Aug. 11, 2018

Aug. 11, 2018

Hi team - In the attached document you find the following: 1) Edits I made ahead of our last meeting in Brussels: 2) Edits listed from call #37; 3) Inserted a replacement sentence under "Recommendations" indicating that no recommendations were found to be necessary at this time; 4) Inserted the agreement reached at F2F#3 in the list of agreements (see in-line comment and corresponding redlined text); 5) Adjusted the date and status on the cover page; The only thing still missing is a list of the URLs I considered when examining Reseller web pages. I will forward this list to you asap. I just like to do a final review to ensure that only resellers are referenced. Lastly, I like to thank Lisa for ensuring that all points are captured and Alice for reminding me to send this out to you all today. Wishing you a lovely weekend, Erika
