RE: [nc-whois] Addendum to WHOIS TF Report in front of GNSO Council


I am pleased to join Tony Harris in announcing that the WHOIS report will be forwarded to the Board. There will be a discussion of privacy in Rio, on the Council agenda.
We both thank you for all of your work, and in particular, for those who have led teams in the development of the Issues Reports, while also focusing on finalizing the Report.  And we thank, once again, the community of interested stakesholders who have participated in the process.
 
Next week's call will have at least three agenda items:
 
I.Ram has agreed to try to schedule a guest speaker.
II.  Reports from Issues Teams
III. Team work on Privacy Issues Report:
Tony and I would like to announce that next Tuesday's call agenda will include a brainstorming session on identifying the privacy questions and issues. This is not intended to merely review the submissions we have had so far. All of us have read them.  This is to extend the data gathering for the Issues Report on Privacy. time is short for us to get something drafted and published. I do  not believe that Issues Reports necessarily have to be  posted for comment, however, I would like to have a structured way to have organized, thoughtful consultation on the issues and questions which the Issues Report should encompass. 
 
What we would ask from each of the TF members is to focus in on facts and examples.  Information about the different kinds of registrants in gTLDs, for instance. Studies or reports which are fact based would be useful contributions to the TF as resources.

So is the answer to  my question yes, from your point of view?

Steve,
My constituency members are saying that they are under considerable pressure from legal, corporate, community and other bodies to tie implementation of better accuracy and privacy together, so that enhanced accuracy standards and mechanisms do not lead to unlawful privacy methods/practices (for those who operate under the EU Data protection restrictions, for instance).

Does this mean that implementation of the accuracy recommendations should be delayed until one or more PDPs regarding privacy are concluded?

Subject: [nc-whois] Addendum to WHOIS TF Report in front of GNSO Council

Dear Whois Task Force:
My constituency met yesterday to discuss the Whois Task Force reports on Accuracy and Bulk Whois Access, prior to the vote on approving these reports in the GNSO Council.
 
The gTLD Constituency endorses these reports, with the following addendum, which it requests be added to the report prior to consideration by the GNSO Council and the ICANN Board.
 
"At the time of implementation, Privacy and Accuracy must be linked together and not addressed independently.  Furthermore, Privacy issues may require modifications to existing Consensus Policy."
 
The gTLD registries are concerned that once Consensus Policy is endorsed, particulalry in the area of Accuracy, any such policy cannot (and should not) be implemented without providing due consideration to Privacy.
 
Since this statement has to do with implementation of our TF's suggested policies, I view it as a benign change.
 
Regards,
Ram
