</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>I understand why we would want to discuss this as an IRT. </tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>We, the IRT folks put in a lot of blood and sweat and tears

</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri
Light",sans-serif">Please communicate the following
update to the Thick Whois IRT:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri
Light",sans-serif"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri
Light",sans-serif">In the process of implementing the
Thick Whois Policy for .com and .net, Verisign proposed
certain Amendments to the COM/NET Registry Registrar
Agreement (RRA) to fulfill their obligation to begin
accepting Thick Whois data from the registrars beginning 1
August 2017. Per the
<a
href="https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/rra-amendment-procedure-25aug11-en.pdf"
moz-do-not-send="true">
published process</a>, ICANN forwarded the proposed RRA
Amendments to the Registrar Stakeholder Group (RrSG) on 29
March 2017 to review and provide comments. On 21 April
2017 the RrSG formally objected to the proposed Amendment
stating:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri
Light",sans-serif"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><i><span
style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif">“…the
.com/.net amendments have raised serious questions in
the RrSG around how we'll operate and interact with
.com/.net under the upcoming European GDPR, and we feel
we need clarity on these issues before the amendments
can be accepted.</span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;
text-indent:-.5in"><i><span style="font-family:"Calibri
Light",sans-serif"> </span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><i><span
style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif">Indeed,
the RrSG is now looking towards the impact of the GDPR
on the 1000s of registries we regularly work with, and
it's clear that we need to ensure we have more clarity
and understanding, as well as a solution for data
handling that will work across ALL registries.”</span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri
Light",sans-serif"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri
Light",sans-serif">Following this communication, the
RrSG submitted a letter to ICANN and Verisign on 4 May
2017 requesting Verisign to modify its proposed Amendment,
and for ICANN to create a data protection policy in
support of the RAA for both registries and registrars. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;
text-indent:-.5in"><span style="font-family:"Calibri
Light",sans-serif"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri
Light",sans-serif">Since the 4 May 2017 communication
ICANN has facilitated multiple discussions between
Verisign and the RrSG in an attempt to resolve the
outstanding issues with the RRA Amendments. The goal of
those discussions has been to resolve the concerns about
the proposed RRA Amendments so they can be in place by 1
July 2017. This deadline is imposed by Verisign to provide
registrars with a thirty-day period in order for changes
to the RRA to become effective before Verisign begins
accepting Thick Whois data in their production
environment. As of 21 June 2017, the RRA Amendment has not
been accepted by the RrSG. ICANN strives for consensus
whenever possible before approving RRA amendments, and
without further discussions, is not prepared to approve an
RRA amendment that the RrSG has rejected.</span></p>

<a
href="https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/correspondence"
moz-do-not-send="true">Verisign formally submitted a
request to ICANN</a> to extend the 1 August 2017 Thick
Whois implementation enforcement date by at least 120
days, or 29 November 2017. The extension request,
currently under review, is not expected to compromise the
1 May 2018 Thick Whois deadline for all new .COM and .NET
registrations or the 1 February 2019 deadline for the
completion of the Thick Whois transition.
