[Gnso-impl-thickwhois-rt] [for iRT review] Draft Thick Whois Transition Policy for .COM, .NET, and .JOBS

Interesting review. After reading it I agree with Volker here. 

Few things that stood out. 

It seems the focus was put on the 95/46/EC Directive (makes sense) but
Safe Harbor was not included in. I am not sure if that was intended? I
would not be surprised that anyone ever thought that it would be a
possibility that it would be invalidated, and what the consequences are.


Anyways, we just need a good procedure for this IRT. The legal review
does not address the current impediment, so that is not up to us. 

What is up to us, maybe, are the benefits mentioned in the legal review
(page5)?

Let me list them: 
  1. A thick Whois model offers attractive archival and restoration
properties. If a registrar were to go out of business or experience
long-term technical failures rendering
them unable to provide service, registries maintaining thick Whois have
all the registrant information at hand and could transfer the
registrations to a different (or temporary) registrar so that
registrants could continue to manage their domain names.

  2. A thick Whois model reduces the degree of variability in display
formats.

  3. Establishing requirements such as collecting uniform sets of data,
and display standards, improves consistency across all gTLDs at all
levels and result in better access to Whois data for all users of Whois
databases (e.g. law enforcement, Intellectual Property holders, etc).

  4. The uptime of the registry with respect to Whois data has typically
been found to be better (at least marginally) than the registrar. 

I am not sure about the rest of you, but this re-enforces the point that
this migration has been in the freezer for too long. 

  Point 1, that's why we have escrow obligations.  The reasoning in
point 1 is not sustainable for the future I am afraid. 
  Point 2 and 3, This has been addressed by the RAA 2013 and the AWIP
policy released in 2015. 
  Point 4, I suspect with RDAP this problem will also be solved. Beside
the RAA 2013 also addresses this with an SLA. 

One could almost argue there are no benefits.  Not sure if you guys want
to circle back on this one and include this in a side note for the
comment period. 

 Also, interesting to read but, out of scope for this IRT (I think) is
the RDAP solution (page 12 of the legal review)? It could be me, but it
almost looks like if there was a quick procedure and workable procedure
then the technical issue would be solved also, and it would solve our
impediment. 

Thank you for making it this far.
