The following text is excerpted verbatim from the WG Charter in order to provide a list of key inputs for each question.
"During Phase 1, the PDP WG should, at a minimum, attempt to reach consensus recommendations regarding the following questions:
- What are the fundamental requirements for gTLD registration data?
When addressing this question, the PDP WG should consider, at a minimum, users and purposes and associated access, accuracy, data element, and privacy requirements. - Is a new policy framework and next-generation RDS needed to address these requirements?
- If yes, what cross-cutting requirements must a next-generation RDS address, including coexistence, compliance, system model, and cost, benefit, and risk analysis requirements?
- If no, does the current WHOIS policy framework sufficiently address these requirements? If not, what revisions are recommended to the current WHOIS policy framework to do so?
As part of its Phase 1 deliberations, the PDP WG should work to reach consensus recommendations by considering, at a minimum, the following complex and inter-related questions:"
| Issue Area | Question | Key Input Documents |
|---|---|---|
| Users/Purposes | Who should have access to gTLD registration data and why? | Click for Table |
| Gated Access | What steps should be taken to control data access for each user/purpose? | Click for Table |
| Data Accuracy | What steps should be taken to improve data accuracy? | Click for Table |
| Data Elements | What data should be collected, stored, and disclosed? | Click for Table |
| Privacy | What steps are needed to protect data and privacy? | Click for Table |
| Coexistence | What steps should be taken to enable next-generation RDS coexistence with and replacement of the legacy WHOIS system? | Click for Table |
| Compliance | What steps are needed to enforce these policies? | Click for Table |
| System Model | What system requirements must be satisfied by any next-generation RDS implementation? | Click for Table |
| Cost | What costs will be incurred and how must they be covered? | Click for Table |
| Benefits | What benefits will be achieved and how will they be measured? | Click for Table |
| Risks | What risks do stakeholders face and how will they be reconciled? | Click for Table |
"Each of these areas is defined in the Final Issue Report and suggested PDP WG inputs – including but certainly not limited to recommendations made in the EWG’s Final Report. The Process Framework time-sequences these areas to accommodate inter-dependencies and create opportunities for parallel policy development, subject to resource availability."
