ICANN org notes the Public Comment period regarding Phase 2 Priority 2 Topics closed on 22 January 2021 and a staff report was issued on 5 February 2021 (https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/report-comments-policy-recommendations-epdp-phase-2-05feb21-en.pdf). ICANN org also notes as the Public Comment regarding Phase 2 closed on 30 March 2021 (https://www.icann.org/public-comments/epdp-2-policy-recs-board-2021-02-08-en). Additionally, the Board resolved (https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2021-03-25-en#2.c) to direct ICANN org to conduct the Operational Design Phase (ODP) for the SSAD on 25 March 2021.

 

Phase 4Phase UpdateICANN org continues to review this advice to determine how it should be implemented. Once ICANN org has determined a path forward for implementation, further updates will be provided to the SSAC.

 

Phase 4AP FeedbackSSAC acknowledged the 2020 Q4 implementation update and did not have any comments or feedback for ICANN org.

 

Phase 4Phase UpdateICANN org is currently reviewing this advice to determine how it should be implemented. Once ICANN org has determined a path forward for implementation, further updates will be provided to the SSAC.

 

Phase 4AP FeedbackSSAC acknowledged the June 2019 notification and agreed with the ARR Team's classification of moving this item to "Phase 4 | Implement".

 

Phase 4Phase UpdateOn 23 June 2019 the ICANN Board considered SAC101v2 and accepted Recommendation 1 and directed the ICANN President and CEO, or his designee(s), to work with the community to clarify existing contractual obligations relating to rate limits (https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2019-06-23-en#1.c). In its rationale the Board state "Advice item 2B suggests that the Board direct ICANN org to work with the community to 'clarify current expectations for the use of rate limiting under existing policy and agreements.' In accepting advice item 2B, the Board notes that the community should be involved in the discussion to clarify existing contractual obligations relating to rate limits."

Phase 3Board UpdateResolved (2019.06.23.05), the Board accepts advice item 2B in SAC101 version 2 relating to clarifying expectations for the use of rate-limiting under existing policy and agreements, and directs the ICANN President and CEO, or his designee(s), to work with the community to clarify existing contractual obligations relating to rate limits. See full resolution at https://www.icann.org/en/board-activities-and-meetings/materials/approved-resolutions-regular-meeting-of-the-icann-board-open-session-23-06-2019-en#1.c.

 

Phase 2Board UnderstandingThe ICANN organization understands SAC101v2 Recommendation 2 to mean that the ICANN Board should direct the ICANN org work with the ICANN Community to: A) develop policy with defined uniform purposes for RDDS rate-limiting and corresponding service level agreement requirements and B) clarify current expectations for the use of rate limiting under existing policy and agreements.

 

Phase 2AP FeedbackSSAC rejected understanding and added the following comments: The Board's understanding of "A" has removed the words "corresponding service level agreement requirements." The SSAC specifically recommends that the policy-making process specifically include consideration of SLA requirements to address rate-limiting.

 

Phase 2Board UnderstandingThe ICANN organization understands SAC101v2 Recommendation 2 to mean that the ICANN Board should direct the ICANN org work with the ICANN Community to: A) develop policy with defined uniform purposes for RDDS rate-limiting and B) clarify current expectations for the use of rate limiting under existing policy and agreements.
