[Gnso-ppsai-pdp-wg] Issue-spotting for the WG's preliminary recommendations

Mary Wong mary.wong at icann.org
Tue Aug 18 17:35:49 UTC 2015 

Hello all - while the actual negotiations were between ICANN and the
registrars, the scope of those negotiations were clearly understood to
include priority topics identified by the community, including
specifically the GNSO which had formed a joint Drafting Team with the ALAC
to develop a list of topics, and law enforcement representatives whose
input was submitted through the GAC. These points were expressly noted in
the Board’s resolution that kicked off the negotiations in late 2011:
https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2011-10-28-en#7.

I hope this background information will help in focusing the WG’s further
discussions on whether the current definition of LEA in the Initial Report
requires further amendment in light of the public comments received
(besides making it clear that the link to the same term in the RAA also
includes any future updates/amendments to that term in the RAA, as
suggested by James on the call today.)

Thanks and cheers

Mary
