[Gnso-ppsai-pdp-wg] Proposed language concerning lawyers and P/P services

Tue Oct 20 15:21:15 UTC 2015

All,
I think we may be going down a slightly misplaced path. The problem is 
the premise: the concept that registrars will not take registrations 
from unaffiliated p/p providers. We can begin the process of creating 
carve-outs, but that's a long path: web designers, children registering 
domain names for parents, parents registering domain names for school 
organizations don't even know they will be considered unaccredited 
providers.

/Why don't define much more precisely what we mean and have discussed 
throughout our 2 years of work: //that Registrars will not take 
registrations on their websites (using their DN registration systems) 
using proxy/privacy service providers who are not accredited through the 
process we have created. /

Third parties such as attorneys, web designers, people registering 
domain names for their clubs, organizations and service groups will not 
need to be accredited by ICANN at this point in time. If they did, they 
would be in front of us, like the lawyers, arguing for an exception.

Best,
Kathy

This point has been discussed inside our constituency and my position reflects the ISPCP stand.

If lawyers are P/P providers, I see no reason to exempt them.  Thirdly, the issue of whether lawyers will become the major tool for criminals to escape (or delay significantly, almost as good) revelation of their identities is huge and is well within our remit to discuss.  If indeed having a special class of unregulated PP providers does indeed drive traffic to the lawyers it makes our efforts somewhat in vain.  I will leave it to the PP providers present to make the argument about unfair competition.

The co-chairs would like to offer the following language for your further discussion:

However, we believe it is outside of ICANN's remit to regulate attorney/client relationships and we believe that ICANN should avoid attempting to do so in any implementation of our proposed policy."
