However, there is one key issue that remains unresolved – the PSWG insists the contract require Privacy/Proxy providers to respond to “high priority” requests within 24 hours. In Puerto Rico, a small group of registrars met with key PSWG representatives to try to reach a resolution on this issue, and then the entire IRT working group met again to continue attempts to reach a resolution. The discussion has continued on the email list, but remains unresolved. </span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Candara",sans-serif'> </span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Candara",sans-serif'>It is the PSWG’s position that disclosure of customer information for “high priority” requests must be done within 24 hours because lives are in danger. They were clear in their statements during the small group meeting in Puerto Rico that these “high priority” requests should ideally be responded to immediately upon receipt but at least within one hour. The PSWG feels they have compromised extensively by agreeing to 24 hours.</span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Candara",sans-serif'> </span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Candara",sans-serif'>Registrar members of the IRT are concerned with the contractual language for a few reasons: (1) it creates a presumption of immediate disclosure (assuming the provider doesn’t have to perform any investigation/verification relating to the request, (2) a potential demand to bypass or ignore due process, and 3) creates an unworkable expectation of privacy/proxy providers around the globe, many of whom who do not operate with 24x7 staffing for this type of issue. Some registrar members have also expressed concern that establishing this 24-hour disclosure requirement is stepping beyond the policy recommendations of the PDP and effectively creating new policy.</span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Candara",sans-serif'> </span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><u><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Candara",sans-serif'>Accreditation Pricing</span></u></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Candara",sans-serif'>In Puerto Rico, Staff presented its accreditation pricing model, based on simple cost recovery for ICANN. IRT member asked a number of questions about the detail behind the pricing model, and await that detail from Staff. Based on various meetings in Puerto Rico, some IRT members expressed concern that the pricing model simply mirrors the registrar accreditation model and was not based on any sort of actual cost-recovery plan. And as mentioned on the Council list last month and during our Council meetings in Puerto Rico, there is also concern that some affected departments within ICANN org are not aware of the impact this program may have on its needs for personnel or other support.</span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Candara",sans-serif'> </span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><u><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Candara",sans-serif'>Data Escrow Specification</span></u></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Candara",sans-serif'>Significant revisions were needed by Staff to adjust the current registrar data escrow specification to fit into this accreditation program.
