Notes and Action Items - Next-Gen RDS PDP WG Meeting Tuesday, 26 July 2016
at 16:00 

 

1) Roll call/SOI updates

.        No updates noted

.        Reminder: please remember to review and update your SOI if needed

 

2) Pending assignments - progress update

.        Drafting team working on statement of purpose for the RDS PDP WG

.        Alex Deacon circulated another draft statement to the team and they
continue to review and work towards a version to share with the full WG for
review/comment.

.        See etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/gnso-rds-pbstatement-0

 

Action Item: Drafting team to circulate draft for WG review at least 24 hrs
in advance of next call

 

Action Item: Volunteers to extract PRs from key input documents are asked to
complete their assignments or let staff know to reassign the document

 

3) Feedback on triage approach to organize possible requirements

.        Stephanie Perrin circulated comments on the categories for triaging
possible requirements - distributed with meeting materials, update to email
list 26 July

.        Proposes a taxonomy of logical categories as an alternative to the
"groups" included in the triage reviewed in last week's call

.        Proposal is to add additional column to spreadsheet to add
categories (see page 11) - for example, Goals, with subset categories
Transparency, Diff Access, Auth Data, Accountability, etc

.        Stephanie Perrin will provide descriptions for each of her proposed
categories, and has already provided a mapping of groups to categories

.        Will need to adjust nomenclature (coding) to avoid confusion
between these categories/taxonomy names and the keywords (aka groups) - this
can be done offline, focus now on overall taxonomy

.        Note that categories and sub-categories could be expanded as we go

.        Susan Kawaguchi and Lisa Phifer worked on developing descriptions
for each of the keywords - to be circulated to WG

.        Within the keywords, Susan Kawaguchi proposes replacing "abuse
violation" with "abuse" as suggested by Stephanie Perrin's comments

.        Support in chat and from speakers to incorporate categories as a
helpful way to organize PRs

.        Questions as to whether both keywords and categories can or should
coexist? Do we need to apply the categories to the PRs, and see how well the
mappings work, and also whether keywords add value and are still needed

.        Proposal: circulate definitions for keyword groups, categories from
Stephanie Perrin's coding system, and apply the codes and mapping to the
triaged spreadsheet to allow the WG to review and provide feedback

.        Noted that the PR list is a large pile of data that needs to be
organized - the WG has not yet deliberated on the PRs and their merit or
completeness

.        Some codes correspond to questions or phases in the PDP Process
Framework, others do not? 

.        How will this coding (and other organizational tools) help us
during deliberation?

.        Re: contracted parties: registrars, registries, and (soon) PP
providers. May need to include potential future contracted parties that are
included in some PRs. 

.        To what level of granularity must the codes go to cover everything
but still be useful at this stage. If there are too many codes, it becomes
less useful as an organizational tool. Examples noted include law
enforcement, contracted parties, risks. Should there be a heading for
potential users (in addition to potential uses).

.        Chat comment: [codes and keywords] are simply search aids, so I
could use both or none at all. I'll still be searching the item list and
probably the docs as well when deliberate on each topic.

 

Action: Stephanie Perrin to provide definitions for at least top-level codes
to enable application to triaged list. Susan Kawaguchi to provide
definitions for the keywords already used in triage.

 

Action: Staff to apply codes to triaged list for WG review next week to
settle on initial coding to then be applied to entire PR list

 

4) Begin review of a draft example use case: objectives, Karnika Seth's
submission

.        Refer to Draft Use Case List and Template:
<https://community.icann.org/x/JA6bAw> https://community.icann.org/x/JA6bAw

.        Chuck Gomes shared an answer to "Why discuss RDS use cases"
(distributed with these notes)

.        The intent is to help prepare for deliberation - not begin
deliberation.

.        Drafting a use case for WG discussion does not imply that any
described users or purposes should be permissible or that all ref'd data
should be accessible or stored in the RDS

.        Goal is not to establish complete set of all possible use cases but
rather to get a sampling that help the WG examine issues raised & think
through those issues during deliberation on PRs

.        For example, see "Obtain domain name holder details for legal
actions" use case submitted by Karnika Seth (see table at link above or
meeting materials below)

.        Describes scenario involving a number of different crimes, where a
party tries to seek information about the registrar of the domain, the
registrant of the domain (refer to use case) - in many cases you need to
know who the registrar is (as party in action) as well as registrant

.        Question - is the use case granular enough? Should it be separate
use cases for different kinds of criminal activity? For example, to identify
the actors involved (if they differ) or different data involved...

.        The use case brings out a number of important questions that must
be considered when attempting to recommend RDS requirement

.        Noted that use cases involving criminal activity may not be the
same in every jurisdiction since laws vary - but the scenarios may be common
(for example, RPM - there is another PDP on that)

.        Desire not to reinvent the wheel - EWG use cases are available for
use by volunteers in drafting representative use cases for discussion by
this PDP WG

.        Suggestion from Rod Rasmussen in chat: "There are a ton of
"different" types of use cases there that haven't been the main focus of the
discussions of this PDP WG contained in the EWG work.  For example, digital
CERTs, domain portfolio management for large domain holders, anti-spoofing
of registrants, prevention of assigning domains to nameservers without
permission - all kinds of terrific use cases that are both current and
potential that would make registering, using, and managing domains far
better."

 

Action item: All WG members are asked to refer to table of volunteers
drafting use cases (attached) and volunteer if they wish to draft a
different use case. (Volunteers are welcome to start with EWG case - just
ask staff for the case of interest to you)

 

5) Confirm Next Meeting - Tuesday 2 August

.        Re: Doodle poll for next ICANN Meeting: most likely 2 half-day
meetings for 2 PDP Working Groups, on Day One (3 Nov).

.        F2F would most likely be Thursday, the first day of the ICANN
meeting

.        Goal for next call: try to finish triage and discuss additional use
cases in prep for deliberation
