2022-09-17 ICANN75 Session EPDP Phase 2 (SSAD) Review of Whois Disclosure System Design Paper

Agenda

1. Small team initial reactions to Whois Disclosure System Design Paper:
   1. Does the Whois Disclosure Design align with the expectations as set out in the small team’s preliminary report? If not, why not and what would need to be modified for these expectations to be met?
   2. Will implementation of Whois Disclosure System deliver the information to help inform Council – Board consultations on cost-benefit of SSAD recommendations? As a reminder, implementation of the Whois Disclosure System is expected to provide clarity on next steps which could include:
      • Approval of EPDP Phase 2 SSAD recommendations (in current or modified format) which would replace the Whois Disclosure System;
      • Determination that adoption of EPDP Phase 2 SSAD recommendations is not in the best interest of the ICANN community or ICANN and termination of the Whois Disclosure System;
      • Modification of EPDP Phase 2 SSAD recommendations by GNSO Council informed by the Whois Disclosure System findings;
      • A variation and/or combination of the above scenarios.
2. Next steps & approach to provide small team feedback to the GNSO Council:
3. 1. How much time is needed to digest information and consult with respective groups?
   2. Would further informal dialogue with Board Caucus be helpful?
   3. Confirm next steps & next meeting
