to be confusion and disagreement on the distinction between third party interests and ICANN purposes, and we’ve been asked to weigh on a proposed chart that lists legitimate purposes, I thought it would be helpful to set out our views in more detail. Simply
put, ICANN’s Bylaws show that ICANN’s legitimate purposes in processing gTLD registration data include the following:</span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear all. Please find below proposed edits to 4.4.9, which should be considered initial input as further discussion is welcomed. Also included below are some recommended edits to 4.4.2, which I realize is being reviewed/modified by someone
else. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Regarding 4.4.9, the proposed text is:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><i><span style="color:black">Enabling the prevention and detection of cybercrime and illegal DNS abuse to promote the resilience, security, stability and/or reliability of the DNS and the Internet. Enabling the
prevention of unlawful conduct to meet the legitimate needs of law enforcement and public authorities promoting consumer trust in the DNS and the Internet and safeguarding registrant data.
</span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">After a lot of deliberation and thought, we decided that this text should remain under section 4.4 (not be moved) as this section is a list of ICANN’s and the Contracted Parties’ legitimate purposes for processing data and accordingly we
want a reference to this purpose as we believe it influences/touches upon at least two stages of their processing (collection and disclosure).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">That being said, let it be clear that we are <i>not seeking the collection of additional WHOIS data elements</i>. However, we do want to ensure that the collection of existing WHOIS data fields continue to be maintained.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Further, it is our view that the collection and disclosure of information, as it aligns with efforts to combat cybercrime and other illegal DNS abuse, is fully consistent with ICANN bylaws and therefore fits within ICANN’s purposes. (see
specific bylaw references below).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Lastly, our initial text reflects a concerted effort not to conflate ICANN’s purposes with that of LEA/government authorities. It is our view that the interests and lawful basis of third parties (such as LEA/government authorities) should
be articulated elsewhere as appropriate. </p>
