My observation is about the models we discussed in L.A. (What kinds of hamburgers are on the menu?) We should be precise about what we mean by “distributed”. I see three models:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:windowtext'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><ul style='margin-top:0in' type=disc><li class=MsoListParagraph style='color:windowtext;margin-left:0in;mso-list:l6 level1 lfo10'>Model #1: Queries come from requestors into a central point (run somehow by ICANN), that central point distributes the queries to the relevant registrars/registries, then the central point routes the replies back to the requestors. The central point also passes out authentication credentials to the parties making queries. This is the technical model the TSG wrote about. This has a DISTRIBUTED data model – the data resides at the registries/registrars. It has CENTRALIZED query input/output and access/authentication functions.<o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoListParagraph style='color:windowtext;margin-left:0in;mso-list:l6 level1 lfo10'>Model #2: A central point passes out authentication credentials, and requestors and registries/registrars then use those to trade queries with each other directly. This is a DISTRIBUTED model in two ways: the data is distributed because it resides at the registries/registrars, and query-making and response takes place among distributed parties. It is CENTRALIZED in one way: access/authentication functions.<o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoListParagraph style='color:windowtext;margin-left:0in;mso-list:l6 level1 lfo10'>Model #3: ICANN holds a registry containing all RDS data, obtained from the registries/registrars, and all queries go to and immediately served back from there. The central point also controls access (authentication creds). This is all CENTRALIZED. I will call this the Lord of the Rings Model: “One registry to rule them all / One registry to find them / One registry to bring them all / And at ICANN bind them.”<o:p></o:p></li></ul><p class=MsoListParagraph><span style='color:windowtext'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:windowtext'>In Model #1, ICANN can be the party making the disclosure decisions. In that case, the registry/registrar would be acting pretty much as a data processor – if ICANN sends it a query, the registry/registrar simply supplies the data. Or, the registrar/registry can be the decision-maker in model #1.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:windowtext'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:windowtext'>Model #2 only allows the registry/registrar to be the decision-maker.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:windowtext'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:windowtext'>Model #3 exists only for ICANN to be the decision-maker.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:windowtext'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:windowtext'>So, ICANN can be “the decider” without a centralized registry. The most crucial question is whether ICANN can or will act as the decider. If ICANN’s the decider, then we have a choice between Model #1 or Model #3. If ICANN will not be the decider, then we have a choice of Model #1 or Model #2.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:windowtext'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:windowtext'>Sarah posited ICANN as the decider, and then said the registry/registrar would be making 6(1)f decisions. I didn’t understand that, because there can only be one decider. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:windowtext'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:windowtext'>So, we need to know who the decider will be. And the WG should enumerate the plusses and minuses of each of the models.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:windowtext'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:windowtext'>All best,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:windowtext'>--Greg<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:windowtext'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='color:windowtext'>From:</span></b><span style='color:windowtext'> James M.
