Activities
Producers: The individuals or organizations supplying contact data for inclusion in to WHOIS.
Maintainers: After discussion with my Legal team, they recommend we subdivide this category in to:
* Data Controller: Individuals or organizations that define the data to be collected, require its release, and govern its use. May or may not be directly involved in these functions.
* Data Processors: Individuals or organizations engaged in the collection, storage, and release of data, according to the terms defined by the Data Controller. They do -not- determine the nature or use of the data that they collect or maintain.
Existing Organizations: Where do they fit?
The subteam is unanimous on the following:
----------------------------------------
Registrants = Producers
ICANN = Maintainer (Data Controller)
gTLD REGISTRY = Maintainer (Data Controller and Data Processor)
gTLD REGISTRAR = Maintainer (Data Processor)
WHOIS DATA ESCROW PROVIDER = Maintainer (Data Processor)
The subteam disagrees on the following:
----------------------------------------
WHOIS DATA AGGREGATOR = Data Processor (Susan), No Category (James)
PRIVACY/PROXY SERVICE = Data Processor (Susan), Producer or No Category (James)
We will need further information on the ASO / ccNSO equivalents for these entities, if any.
