Draft report - 24 Nov - please use this
by Alice Jansen Nov. 24, 2011

Nov. 24, 2011

Dear Review Team Members, First of all, Happy Thanksgiving to our US Members :-). May you enjoy this day with your loved ones (and the turkey)! Please find attached the following: * Appendices – V1 – 24 Nov * Draft report clean – 24 Nov As always, these documents are available at: https://community.icann.org/display/whoisreviewprivate/Draft+report Please make sure to read documents using print layout: Macs tend to switch to Notebook (unsure why but am looking into it). For any new edits, please use this version. Be kindly reminded to stop using track changes (per the decision reached during your call yesterday) and to insert your contribution directly into the text while making sure to add your initials and to highlight it (color code: yellow). You will find an example page 2 (thanks, Emily! :-)). Also, I have noticed this placeholder " The roles and responsibilities of contracted parties" in the Gap Analysis section and am unsure what it should entail and whether it still needs to be there. Could anyone enlighten me? It may have been superseded by later drafts… Thanks for your help, Kind regards Alice -- Alice Jansen Assistant, Organizational Reviews 6 Rond Point Schuman, Bt.5 B-1040 Brussels Belgium Direct dial: +32 2 234 78 64 Mobile: +32 4 73 31 76 56 Skype: alice_jansen_icann

Updated Exec Summary, and ideas for the clean, consolidated report.
by Emily Taylor Nov. 24, 2011

Nov. 24, 2011

Hi Alice, Hi All We had some to-ing and fro-ing on the Executive Summary, and the attachment dated 20 October is the latest version that I'm aware of. This is of the whole report, and is prone to misbehave/crash. So, I'm also attaching a clean copy with the changes accepted and Bill's request (that we acknowledge that WHOIS was done by default) taken in. As discussed on the latest call, I have highlighted additional text which I have put in. Some of this fills in place holders (eg the one describing our work), another section which was missing was some discussion of consumer trust. I have made a first attempt here. Alice - please can you add this version into your consolidated draft of the report. I also suggest that we get rid of the "notebook" format in Word. I find it difficult to work with, and am convinced that all it's weird formatting might be responsible for the instability that we're finding in the document. Alice - please would you also keep the appendices as a separate document for now, this will focus our attention on the core report in the coming days. Many thanks Emily ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Emily Taylor <emily(a)emilytaylor.eu> Date: 8 November 2011 17:54 Subject: Executive Summary To: "Smith, Bill" <bill.smith(a)paypal-inc.com>, Alice Jansen < alice.jansen(a)icann.org> Cc: Kathy Kleiman <kathy(a)kathykleiman.com>, lynn(a)goodsecurityconsulting.com, Sharon Lemon <sharonchallis(a)aol.com> Hi there Thanks for this - I've read it many times now, and love it. I started editing in the consolidated document posted on the private wiki, and it's crashed, corrupted and whatever. Anyway, tried to copy the content into a single file so that it's not too huge, but it died. Anyway, here's the whole report, with some suggested edits for the Exec Summary. I think the file might be dodgy so let me know if you can't open it. I think I agree with Sharon's original comment that (to a Brit at least) it reads quite emotionally. Over this side of the Atlantic, we are suspicious of emotion and immediately mistrust it. That's our hang up, not yours, but I did want to try and make the point so that we can reach as broad an audience as possible.

Dakar preliminary report - Adopted 2. Preliminary report 9 Nov - Adopted 3. Letter as appendix to report - no urgency to send the report. Finalize the draft report and letter. (SK) volunteered to provide comments on the letter by next Wednesday - Emily invites Members to submit their final comments. 4. Team thanks Michael and Sarmad. Susan: interest in recommendation 1 - would this fall within the category of PDP? Suggestions from Denise or ICANN Staff on most effective way to have recommendations implementation. Lynn -- for ICANN staff to figure out. Emily: we are addressing the Board - up to them to figure who to task to do what. We need to make sure we review the wording of recommendation. Let's not be specific and let the Board decide. Lynn: recommendations need to be actionnable and implementable. Kathy on recommendation 3: is this a translation requirement we are talking about or an accuracy issue? Accuracy in terms of translation and transcription - local languages. transcribed to ASCII codes without ambiguity. Kathy to work with Michael and Sarmad on legal wording. Bill - recommendation 1 - mechanisms exist. 5. Comments on draft report - AJ to circulate a document containing comments + matching contentious sections of the report. Agree to avoid track changes. Commitment: 30 Nov Sharon to read report (fresh eye), to share with LE colleagues. 6. Agreement needed on these recommendations. Do look like policy but there is some middleground. Lynn: Definition help clarify that - this section very useful in evaluating WHOIS. Consistent with AoC --> services not intended to restrict the access because language does say unrestricted public access.. Susan: go through this document one more time, get on phone with James and Kathy and deliver to group on Monday evening. 7. Should identify problems not make policy. Lutz proposes a central access to repositories - Lutz to take another look at his text to make it more generalized: ICANN nominates suitable provider. Develop language and circulate it. Kathy and James can review. Lynn: this section has linkage with consumer trust section 7. Policy section deferred - to be finished asap 8. Lynn: ntent of AoC is a very broad group of people. If have more limited people (those who something about it), it is not consistent with AoC. Need to bring out potential value of WHOIS to consumer. Awareness program/communication program that promotes WHOIS. Emily: consumers - people close to LE, registrants, trademark - driving the volumes and reliant on it. Lutz: WHOIS does not help if serious organized crime. Lynn: broader education. Lynn: Sanity check. Kathy: Not overconclude from qualitative.. Seth and Lynn to refine draft (redline) and to come back with draft by Monday
