[gnso-rds-pdp-wg] Principle on Proportionality for "Thin Data"access

As I said Paul - some people do the DNS management themselves and therefore it could hold registrant/personal email address. You can argue about it as much as you want, but you cannot say with 100% certainty it doesn't.
An example was asked for - I gave it. Your comment does make me chuckle :- "The fact that i could use the data to obtain other data is irrelevant. I can use a car to rob a bank but that itself is not a reason to restrict access to automobiles." - no it doesn't but both points are dishonest.
The THIN data could be used for all sorts of analytics as well, for example knowing how many domains (if you are scraping THIN data) a set of DNS servers may hold - you will probably never know the exact numbers, but it is still data.
And as for "Me thinks you are trying to create a scarcity for some reason." - No, somebody on the group asked for an example - I gave it - end of.
Kind regards,
Chris

Im sorry but i don't see the logic here (or the legal constraint)
Privacy laws protect personal data of INDIVIDUALS. They do t protect non-personal data or data from non-individuals.
Nothing on the list below is personal data. And no e of the principles given by Natalie apply.
The fact that i could use the data to obtain other data is irrelevant. I can use a car to rob a bank but that itself is not a reason to restrict access to automobiles.

ok - a thought :
Thin data includes nameservers, being able to mass collect thin data gaining NS information then allows you to do a DIG of a SOA record on the DNS service to gain the email address of the hostmaster :
Some examples (radomly picked from the list) :
gmail.com :
SOA ns1.google.com . dns-admin.google.com . 157458041 900 900 1800 60
netearthone.com
SOA ns1.netearth.net . root.netearthone.com . 2016090201 14400 3600 1209600 86400
law.es
SOA ns1.eurodns.com . hostmaster.eurodns.com . 2016061402 43200 7200 1209600 86400
riskiq.net
SOA ns-1754.awsdns-27.co.uk . awsdns-hostmaster.amazon.com . 1 7200 900 1209600 86400
Now as you can see - those above examples allow you to get (or build) an email list. Most will normally point to the providers service, but, some that are DIY'ing their hosting, it might not be.
Kind regards,
Chris

so can you name one specific example of how someone could abuse thin data?

Abuse is the improper usage or treatment of an entity , often to unfairly or improperly gain benefit. In our context, abuse is the improper usage of WHOIS/RDS to unfairly or improperly gain access to information or to game the system.
Here are some of the overarching principles which should guide us when building RDS:
DATA LIFECYCLE PRIVACY PRINCIPLE PROTECTION MEASURE
Collection Proportionality and purpose specification Data minimisation, Data quality
Storage Accountability, Security measures, Sensitive data Confidentiality, Encryption, Pseudonomisation
Sharing and processing Lawfulness and fairness, Consent, Right of access Data access control, Data leakage prevention
Deletion Openness, Right to erasure Retention, Archival, Erasure
If such principles are not respected, ICANN will be liable. Consumers don't need to have all the thin data when making a query. This could protect them and enable them to have access to the RDS without raising much opposition.
Now, we could discuss the possibility for broader query types. These principles would still apply, but would be contextualized in order to take into account new sets of parameters for each broader query. By increasing granularity as much as possible, while applying these aformentioned principles, we just might find a way to accomodate everyone.

I was going to reply to Natalie's email as well, but Paul's comments capture my thoughts, so: +1.

Natalie,
Thank you for the email. Im copying the list because i see others have replied to your comment.
I strenuously object to the concept. We are discussing THIN DATA ONLY HERE. Unless someone can explain to me why any of this data set has privacy concerns this is a non-issue. I would certainly appreciate someone explaining what, if any, privacy issues are perceived to be at issue here.
Moreover, while you suggest that the idea escapes the need to declare a purpose, it does nothing but reinforce a subjective criteria based system in which the declared purpose is used to somehow limit the data being retrieved.
If i am missing something please let me know.
Paul

Hi Paul,
In the context of thin data, in view of the opposition of some to allow unauthenticated access to all the thin data, the principle of proportionality serves as an over-arching principle at this particular phase in our work in order to protect data from abuse while not restricting access.
Thin data must be proportionate to the query, be useful for that particular query. All and any other thin data foreign to this query should not be shared. This principle potentially avoids having to resort to 'legitimate purposes' which cannot be verified for unauthenticated access.

Because Nathalie was the originator and was unable to speak on the call, I encourage her to describe the nature of the issue on this thread.

All, per today's call action item:
Action Item: Nathalie Coupet and any other WG members who wish to do so to propose to the WG list a new principle on proportionality for "thin data." All WG members to comment on that proposed principle in advance of next call.
we are starting a new thread here which anyone may reply to if they wish to propose (or respond to) a new principle on proportionality for "thin data" access.
Best, Lisa
