    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Steve, Graeme and all who worked on
      this draft,<br>
      <br>
      Tx you! We appreciate your effort and leadership. Quick note that
      this is a lot of material to review in a short period of time. I
      am hoping that today it will be possible for you to walk us
      through the material in detail - including some of the meanings
      and intents of bracketed sections. <br>
      <br>
      That would be very helpful for those of us trying to parse this
      material before we enter into formal discussion! <br>
      Best,<br>
      Kathy<br>

            representatives of the IPC and privacy and proxy service
            providers, have endeavored to develop a collaborative
            proposal on the minimum standards for disclosure (Category

            first, a little background: At the face-to-face meeting of
            the PPSAI Working Group in Los Angeles on October 10, 2014,
            one important topic was minimum standards for disclosure of
            contact information of customers of privacy/proxy services
            who may or may not be using their private domain name
            registrations to carry out infringing or other abusive

            to the face-to-face meeting, IPC participants in the Working
            Group circulated a proposal on this topic.  A responsive

            extensive discussion of these proposals and of the topic in
            general at the face-to-face meeting, a sub-group of WG
            participants have continued this discussion.  The sub-group
            includes participants from the IPC and privacy/proxy service
            providers. Meeting by teleconference and working over
            e-mail, the sub-group has sought to develop a text that
            could be jointly presented to the PPSAI Working Group as a
            framework for further discussion on the issue of standards
            for disclosure.  <o:p></o:p></span></p>

            efforts with the goal of producing a document for
            presentation to the PPSAI Working Group as soon after the
            Singapore ICANN meeting as feasible.  If such a document is
            completed, it is hoped that it would be a constructive
            contribution to eventual WG approval of a set of
            recommendations on “Category F” for inclusion in the Draft
            Report of the WG.

            the documents discussed by the full WG last October, the
            framework under discussion does not purport to establish a
            single general policy for when disclosure of contact
            information in cases of alleged abusive activities would be
            available.  Instead, it seeks to focus more narrowly on
            intellectual property infringement complaints as one
            illustrative example of minimum disclosure standards.  The
            framework would describe (1) a service provider process for
            intake of requests; (2) general templates that requests
            would have to meet in order to trigger service provider
            action; and (3) principles governing service provider action
            in response to a conforming request.  While considerable
            progress has been made in the first two areas, a number of
            critical issues remain to be resolved in the third area, and
            discussion has not been concluded on any of the areas.

style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;color:#1F497D">The
            expressed common goal of the discussion group participants
            is a framework that would give requestors a higher degree of
            certainty and predictability as to if, when and how they
            could obtain what level of disclosure; that would preserve
            for service providers a sufficient degree of flexibility and
            discretion in acting upon requests for disclosure; and that
            would include reasonable safeguards and procedures to
            protect the legitimate interests of customers of accredited
            proxy/privacy service providers.  Of course, balancing these
            interests is the difficult task before our working group. As
            stated, participants in the discussion group hope to be able
            to make a constructive contribution to the WG’s efforts to
            do so.  <o:p></o:p></span></p>
