should be defined by the scoping team. That team would start by considering all of the resources we already have about accuracy, both to come to agreement on what our next steps should be and to avoid duplication, and after that they can decide if there are

to be addressed in Phase 1 of the EPDP but has been repeatedly pushed back and if we do not address it, legislation will do so for us, creating yet more jurisdictional fragmentation. We reiterate that the scoping team should be formed and be allowed to start
its work as soon as possible – they are the experts and the whole idea is to ask experts where we are and how we move forward, and yet another Council-level discussion will, in our view, only lead to unnecessary delay.<o:p></o:p></li></ul>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Philippe:<br>
<br>
Thank you for providing the draft set of proposed next steps for dealing with the topic of registration data accuracy. We (RYSG Council representatives) have read the proposal and associated documentation and consulted with our stakeholder group members and
leadership. <br>
<br>
First, we wish you to confirm that the Proposed Path Forward is intended to be the “framework” described and recommended in the recent ICANN briefing (i.e., “develop a framework for a study on how to measure accuracy”). After reading the documents furnished,
that was the conclusion to which we came. <br>
<br>
Keeping with the ICANN briefing recommendation to “commission a study on how accuracy of registration data might be measured,” we believe the Proposed Path Forward is too vague to be released as is. I.e., the proposal provides inadequate direction to the working
group (which is likely to cause confusion and be perceived as disrespectful of volunteers’ time). Put another way, the proposal initiates the study but does not describe the scope of the work to be done.<br>
<br>
For example, the proposal calls for the scoping team to focus on, “identifying what problems, if any, are expected to be addressed and how,” but nowhere describes to what the problems should pertain other than “accuracy,” with no other detail or direction.<br>
<br>
Instead, the objective and terms of reference should be clearly delineated. Recognizing our commitment to fact-based policy development, the proposal should make clear that we are seeking to formulate an approach to data registration accuracy measurement first
– and that any policy discussion will follow (because policy should be informed by data and facts derived from competently done studies). The “problems” identified should be those specifically related to how accuracy of registration data might be measured.<br>
<br>
In addition, we think it necessary to expressly include registration data accuracy definitions in the scoping team’s remit. How can one design an approach to registration data accuracy measurement without defining that which is to be measured?<br>
<br>
The proposal refers extensively to GDPR and NIS2. Most of these could be omitted. The proposal seeks to assess how best to measure accuracy, which we think is an objective matter, and not seek to interpret and implement statutory requirements, which is a policy discussion
that should occur when the factual assessments are complete. (We do note the proposal’s brief inference that the GDPR Accuracy Principle is essentially satisfied by the current actions of the contracted parties.)<br>
<br>
Regarding timing, the call for volunteers should be published after the close of work on the EPDP for Registration Data. This scoping effort will require the expertise of EPDP participants because it is likely that one of the problems to be addressed is how
or whether personal data can be processed to accomplish a registration data accuracy assessment. In addition, the topic of registration data accuracy continues to be raised in the EPDP discussions and that should be exhausted before going on to a subsequent effort
on the same topic.<br>
<br>
We also believe the composition or casting of the working group should be more carefully considered. The specification of “two from each” stakeholder group seems arbitrary and merits additional discussion.<br>
<br>
To correct these concerns, we propose to have a substantive discussion at the Council level, and then create a small team of Council members (or form a “working-group-of-the-whole”) to redraft the proposed framework, an effort we will gladly support.<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
<br>

the topic of accuracy. The proposed next steps aim to find a balance between the different viewpoints that have been expressed on this topic while at the same time recognizing our commitment to fact-based policy development. The Council leadership’s expectation
is that by focusing on identifying and confirming the problem(s) (if any), the scoping team will be in a much better position to recommend to the Council what next steps to take. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
