Thanks for your comments James

Will you be able to join the call? 

JMB-As stated earlier,no.  Please accept my apologies.

BTW, in case it was not clear the 50% figure only relates to reducing the "unreachables" - this was heavily discussed in Dakar, and had full consensus of the group.


JMB: This is fine, as my complaint is about the 50% but rather how we arrived at this number.  As a businessman, I may desire 50% growth this year and 50% growth next year, but it's just wishful thinking unless we substantiate why we think this is an achievable target. 

As I said in earlier calls - these recommendations may not be perfect, but they do represent a very hard won consensus within the team.  I am therefore hesitant to review substantively, as it will reopen negotiations again.


JMB:  Not trying to blow up any consensus positions here.

That said, I am all for adding precision, eg "who do we mean by ICANN", and looking at hard targets within the parameters you have suggested.


JMB:  I think this is critical to ensuring that the recommendations are actually adopted.  Otherwise, they are likely to die on the table if the Board cannot assign / delegate them appropriately.

 The language about proxies may well be superceded by your and Susan's work - looking forward to having that circulated.

On a point of detail, if you are not happy with the reference to registries as privacy providers, maybe we can side step the issue.  As I recall, I don't believe there was any particular point we were making about "registries and ICANN-accredited registrars" - the point we were trying to get at was the introduction of an accreditation scheme, so it could read:

1.     ICANN should develop and manage an accreditation system for privacy service providers.

Then we can work out who we mean by ICANN here.


JMB: This would be fine.  Recommending (or even allowing) that gTLD Registries offer a service directly to end-users would be unprecedented, so wanted to steer clear of that to preserve the Registry / Registrar model.


Kind regards

Emily

Team:

My comments / edits to the recommendations attached.  Please note that I still believe we should structure our Recommendations as previously discussed (and copied below).  Also, Susan and I met yesterday to finish up the Proxy recommendations, so she should have something shortly.

Thanks--

J.

---------------------
Bearing this in mind, I submit that recommendations should include the following elements:
(1) Target (To whom are we directing the recommendation?)
(2) Mechanism (By what means will the recommended action be implemented?)
(3) Timeframe (What is the deadline for action? Note that in ICANN as well as the general world, if something is left open-ended, it will never be completed.)
(4) Communication, Measurement & Follow-up (Was implementation complete? Did it work? What can the next WHOIS RT take away from it?)

Dear Review Team Members,

A basic compilation of agreed upon recommendations is attached for your convenience. 
The second attachment is the same document lightly edited by Emily to eliminate redundancies.
Please review both and email any feedback you may have.

Thanks,

Kind regards

Alice
