[gnso-contactinfo-pdp-wg] Draft initial report

Tue Sep 30 09:05:50 UTC 2014

Dear Emily, dear all,

First I would like to say that it is good to see some activity on the
mailing list and as the discussion on this important issue moves forward. I
just wanted to lay out the groups¹ envisaged progress from now until after
LA to provide a little clarity where as are:

1. Later today or early tomorrow we will send out a Draft Initial Report.
Please note: This report will reflect both sides of the argument  one
supporting and one opposing mandatory transformation of contact information.
Consequently it will also contain two sets of recommendations, one
recommending mandatory transformation and one not recommending mandatory
transformation. Providing both sides of an argument and different sets of
recommendations in our Initial Reports will hopefully help focus community
feedback more effectively and propel forward the WG's discussion.

2. The Draft Initial Report, including both sides of the argument and both
sets of recommendations, will be presented to the GNSO during ICANN 51 in
LA, and form the basis of the discussion for the WG¹s face-to-face meeting.
Please note: the WG will point out explicitly that there are opposing views
among its members and that the WG would like to  encourage feedback on both
sides of the argument.

3. Based on the feedback, amendments will be made, and an Initial Report
will be produced and put out for public comment after ICANN 51
Please note: Regardless of the discussion/feedback gathered in LA, the
Initial Report will contain both sides of the argument and both sets of
recommendations, one in favour and one opposing mandatory transformation, to
encourage informed feedback on both sides of the argument.

4. Based on the community feedback gathered during the public comment
period, the Group will then discuss the community submissions and hopefully
be able to come to a consensus on either side of the recommendations.
Please note: Any consensus decision will then be reflected in the WG's
recommendations put forward in it Final Report  which is no prejudiced by
the wording/reasoning of the Initial Report.

Based on this, I would like to ask the Group to wait until the Draft Initial
Report has been circulated to gather further input/feedback from their
constituencies/stakeholder group and/or the wider community.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to get back to me
or Julie either on or off list.

Many thanks and very best wishes,
Lars

Dear Petter 

Thank you for marking up and circulating your comments on the draft paper.

I note that you have deleted the word "not" from draft recommendation #1,
which reverses its meaning. This would have the effect of making
transformation of contact data mandatory, which has not been the consensus
in the working group as far as I am aware.

I'm also not sure of the basis for the proposed change "the main part of the
stakeholders" in favour of mandatory transformation.  I thought the previous
text which acknowledged that "some" are in favour, was a fairer
representation of opinions on the working group.

The recommendation #5 now imposes costs of transformation on registries and
registrars.  Again, I do not see this as reflecting the consensus in group.

You have also removed the important text (page 4, para 3, that the costs of
transformation are likely to outweigh the benefits.  This is particularly
important as the paper has rehearsed the complexity of
transliteration/translation of proper names and address data.

I will be circulating your draft to the Registrar stakeholder group for
comments, but wanted to give an immediate heads up that the changes proposed
in your version circulated on 29 September are controversial, unlikely to be
acceptable to industry colleagues, and are likely to upset the consensus in
the policy working group.

Best wishes,

Emily.
