(red star)Objective

Consistent with ICANN’s mission and Bylaws, Section 4.6(e)(iv), the Review Team will (a) evaluate the extent to which ICANN Org has implemented each prior Directory Service Review recommendation (noting differences if any between recommended and implemented steps), (b) assess to the degree practical the extent to which implementation of each recommendation was effective in addressing the issue identified by the prior RT or generated additional information useful to management and evolution of WHOIS (RDS), and (c) determine if any specific measurable steps should be recommended to enhance results achieved through the prior RT’s recommendations. This includes developing a framework to measure and assess the effectiveness of recommendations, and applying that approach to all areas of WHOIS originally assessed by the prior RT (as applicable). 

RT1 Recommendations to be assessed by this subgroup:

Recommendation #10 - Privacy/Proxy Services

Volker to provide alternative text for Rec 10 Objective 6 referring to PPSAI PDP recommendation on CATEGORY B QUESTION 2, indicating this objective was taken into consideration in the PDP but it is not appropriate for the RT to comment on sufficiency of this until implementation is complete.

The PPSAI PDP recommendation:

WG Conclusion: The WG recommends that P/P service customer data be validated and verified in a manner consistent with the requirements outlined in the WHOIS Accuracy Program Specification of the 2013 RAA (as updated from time to time). Moreover, in the cases where a P/P service provider is Affiliated with a registrar and that Affiliated registrar has carried out validation and verification of the P/P customer data, re-verification by the P/P service provider of the same, identical, information should not be required.

Volker to clarify following issues for RT:

  • Issue #1: Current funding proposals for accreditation program create concerns of ICANN failing the goal of onboarding all providers of such services due to inflation of costs. ICANN Org staff seems to be unable to justify proposed accreditation fees, which may endanger the entire program.
  • Issue #2: Impact of GDPR data redaction requirements on privacy services are yet unknown, but significant impact is expected as personal data becomes hidden by default without

Decisions Reached

Source of requestDateDecision
FtoF #3

 

R10.x to be added to P/P section: R10.x  Reviewing the effectiveness of the implementation of #Rec 10 should be deferred and carried out by the next RDS review team after PPSAI Policy is implemented.

FtoF #3

 

Issue #5 to be expanded to discuss P/P abuse risk, potential for change in P/P use due to GDPR, a reference to the WHOIS P/P Abuse Study, and also to the CCT RT study on P/P and DDARP recommendation (when available).

FtoF #3

 

Issue #3 is subject to confirmation after ICANN legal review is completed: The RT is currently not aware of any need to delay the implementation of accreditation program due to GDPR.

FtoF #3

 

The entire P/P Issues/Problems section should be prefaced with a qualifier that the issues are based on the status of PPSAI policy implementation as of July 2018, and are subject to update as implementation continues.

FtoF #3

 

No change to subgroup’s conclusion that the recommendation to initiate policy development is “fully implemented” but the conclusion should clearly state that policy implementation remains underway.

#3

 

The subgroup will follow the RT's agreement to not relegislate PDPs. Can raise concerns but should not make recommendations to modify PDP WG's recommendations prior to implementation.

#3

 

Grandfathering is not a concept for PP registered domains but should be taken up in the data accuracy and compliance reports
#1

 

All subgroups members are to review PPSAI and RAA specs on Privacy/Proxy.

#1
