[Gnso-impl-thickwhois-rt] Thick Whois Transition Policy draft v4

Tue Sep 27 15:35:50 UTC 2016

Just a note that at least a few registries have contractual obligations to display billing contact data.  E.g., .mobi, https://www.icann.org/resources/unthemed-pages/mobi-appendixs-2005-11-23-en  (excerpt follows):

WHOIS Output Fields

A WHOIS query that results in domain information will return the following fields from the Domain object and the associated data from host and contact objects. This set of data is also referred to as the Domain Record.

Theo,

I’ll be sure to add to the agenda.
For Section 2.2, if you could provide suggested language before the meeting, I can have it for the IRT to review as well.

Thanks
Dennis Chang

Dennis,

Thank you for sending out this updated version.  In preparation for our upcoming call I have a couple items.

•         Section 2.2 pertains to Registries providing an (alternative) bulk method for the backfill of contact data.  I’d like to propose an update to the language in this section.  Could I have some time during the meeting to present?

•         At the last meeting I brought up the billing contact and agreed to propose clarifying language.  I suggest adding a section 2.11 that states:

The “Billing” contact is optional.  Registry Policy may define if it is required, optional or not supported.  If supported the Billing contact information must be displayed as described in the “Advisory: Clarifications to the Registry Agreement, and the 2013 Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA) regarding applicable Registration Data Directory Service (Whois) Specifications” (section 22).

I’d also like to get the IRT’s thoughts on the Billing contact in general.  My sense is that no one is really concerned if the billing contact is present or not and that in order to facilitate the transition from thin to thick it would be easiest to not include it.

•         Finally, can we add an agenda item to talk about Escrow of contact data?  It was a topic considered during the PDP deliberations but we haven’t touched on it as part of the IRT deliberations.

Thank you,
Marc Anderson

Dear Thick Whois IRT,

Attached are the Transition Policy drafts from our review this week.  A clean and redlined provided for your further review.

Three key updates are

1)       Adapted the alternate definition of Thick

2)       Incorporated the requirements to the body of policy per sections rather than the definition

3)       Removed sections referring to RDAP

Please provide your comments prior to the meeting if possible so that we may continue to discuss on line and prepare better for the team meeting next week.

Agenda for the next meeting will be provided to you in a separate email which you may also comment on.
