[Gnso-epdp-team] Questions for clarification

[Janis Karklins]

Dear Goran,



During recent meetings the EPDP Team has been examining public comments
received on its Initial Report. Recommendations in the Initial Report are
based on certain assumptions. For instance, the EPDP Team has been working
under the assumption that ICANN Org (or its designee) would be the
Accreditation Authority, and, accordingly, would be responsible for
enforcing accredited SSAD users’ compliance with the Accreditation Policy,
Acceptable Use Policy, etc. In addition, it is assumed that ICANN Org would
perform the Central Gateway function.



Today’s discussion revealed that the Team’s assumptions may not be entirely
correct. It was suggested that ICANN Org may have concerns regarding, for
example, how this enforcement responsibility fits within its Mission and
Bylaws as it is not yet clear how the contractual relationships would be
structured between the Central Gateway Manager and accredited users, noting
ICANN Org enforcement currently only occurs between ICANN Org and
Contracted Parties where a direct contractual relationship exists.



It was also suggested that communication with ICANN Org would be useful to
confirm all assumptions the Final report will be based on. In light of
this, could ICANN Org please provide clarifications on the following
questions:

If SSAD becomes an adopted consensus policy, would ICANN Org will perform
the Accreditation Authority function?

If SSAD becomes an adopted consensus policy, would ICANN Org will perform
the central Gateway function?

If SSAD becomes an adopted consensus policy, would ICANN Org enforces
compliance of SSAD users and involved parties with its consensus policy?



Additionally, could ICANN Org please confirm the EPDP Team’s assumption
that ICANN Org and Contracted Parties are joint controllers regarding
disclosure of registration data through the SSAD?



As the EPDP Team needs further information to prepare its final
recommendations, we would appreciate answers, if possible, by *Friday, May
29*. Thank you in advance.



Best regards

JK
