<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:black">On 19 December 2019, the GNSO Council
</span><a href="https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#201912" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:11.5pt">adopted of a Supplemental Recommendation</span></a><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:black">, which amended the text of EPDP Phase 1, Recommendation
12 to state that "prior to eliminating Organization Contact fields, all Registrars MUST ensure that each registration contains Registered Name Holder contact information." The GNSO Chair
<a href="https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/drazek-to-botterman-23dec19-en.pdf" target="_blank">
notified</a> the ICANN Board of the supplemental recommendation on 23 December 2019, and the ICANN Board
<a href="https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/botterman-to-drazek-03feb20-en.pdf" target="_blank">
acknowledged receipt of the supplemental recommendation</a> on 3 February 2020.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:black">Following review of the supplemental recommendation, the Board identified some questions for the GNSO Council. During the GNSO
<span class="spellchecktypo">Council’s</span> meeting with the Board at ICANN69, the Board referenced a concern with deleted information, observing, for example, “a situation where for some reason, the registrant is listed as domain administrator and the organization
is listed as ICANN, but you can't confirm the organization. So that field drops away and the registrar has the ability to actually delete that information entirely.” The GNSO Council, after having received this question, requested the Board to provide the
example in writing so that the Council could properly address the concern.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:black"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:black">Within its follow-up letter, the Board additionally noted the below example, where deletion of the organization field data would result in the loss of such identifying information:</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:black"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:black">Domain name: <span class="spellchecktypo">
icann</span>.<span class="spellchecktypo">org</span></span></i><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:black">Registrant: Domain Administrator</span></i><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:black">Organization: ICANN</span></i><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:black"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:black">Noting this, the Board posed the question: “Even if you can contact the domain administrator, how do you avoid a situation where essentially the registration has been transferred or on paper it
looks like it's been transferred from ICANN, the organization, to an individual?”</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:black">The Supplemental Recommendation provides that a registrar must first “ensure that each registration contains Registered Name Holder contact information” before “eliminating the Organization contact
fields.” Given the <span class="spellchecktypo">Board’s</span> understanding that the data need not be published in this instance, the concern is that the data be retained in some manner rather than deleted. That is, a registrar may delete data in organization
fields from its registration data records (WHOIS records), but must retain it elsewhere, e.g., in a separate customer database. The
<span class="spellchecktypo">Board’s</span> concern is not that the data be retained as part of the
<span class="spellchecktypo">registrar’s</span> registration data records, but that it is being retained someplace, as a safeguard in the event of disputes or other issues, rather than deleted. The Board is seeking clarification on whether this understanding
is consistent with the Supplemental Recommendation.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
