[gnso-rds-pdp-wg] For your review - updated RDS Statement of Purpose

[Stephanie Perrin]

I apologize for missing the last two meetings.  I was travelling and had 
difficulty connecting.  I have listened to the call of the 21st, and I 
am going to listen to the next one as soon as it arrives.  I have a 
number of concerns with the current draft purpose statement, and am 
consulting my NCSG colleagues on a proposed redraft which I have done.  
As soon as I hear back from them I will share it with the list, 
understanding that this is not the same as being on the call.  My 
concerns are basically the following:

1.  The purpose of the purpose clause exercise was, as far as I 
understood it, to come up with a succinct purpose for the exercise in 
which we are engaged....to limit the exercise to the minimum until such  
time as we have agreed on policy, as it is generally understood that 
many policy issues have crept into the WHOIS and RDS without benefit of 
a full PDP delberation.  Our remit is not to assume those policy issues 
are a fait accompli, it is to examine them, thus the limited scope of 
the purpose clause.  It is a business requirements statement for the 
exercise.

2.  Several implicit assumptions appear to have crept in, namely that an 
RDS is necessary, and that data will be released through it.  We have 
not got there yet.  Discussion of rationales for the RDS is straying way 
too far, in my view.

3.  While a statement of purpose is necessary for the interpretation of 
ICANN's policies with respect to the collection, use, retention and 
disclosure of personal information in the context of its registration 
activities, this is not it.  We cannot through this exercise set up a 
purpose for that, because it requires policy decisions, and we are not 
there yet.  A goal can be compliance with national and regional law, and 
with internationally recognized human rights obligations, but not 
crafting the actual purpose statement.  I hope that is clear, it is a 
wee bit convoluted.

I will send my proposed redline version as soon as possible.  Apologies 
once again for missing the calls.
