<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;text-indent:.5in"><span>“Section II of the public comment notice (see
<a href="https://www.icann.org/public-comments/rdap-profile-2015-12-03-en" target="_blank">https://www.icann.org/public-comments/rdap-profile-2015-12-03-en</a> ) notes that one ICANN advisory committee has insisted that the RDAP profile “must include the feature set that will
 support differentiated access” to domain name registration data.  IPC supports ICANN’s response to this, that including such a requirement in the RDAP profile is premature, “[g]iven the ongoing discussions and work in the community on differentiated access.”   
 While it is correct that RDAP “does allow for differentiated access for those that have contracts that permit such a service, or in the event a consensus policy on differentiated access is completed,” the development of such a policy is still at an early phase. 
 The PDP working group on Registry Directory Services is still in the process of formation, and it will be some time before there is any consensus policy on whether differentiated access will be a required feature of any new Registration Data Directory Service
 (RDDS) for gTLDs, and if so the particulars of such a requirement.  <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;text-indent:.5in"><span>Throughout the development of RDAP, there has been a clear distinction  made between the development of a replacement
<u>technical</u> protocol that could enable differentiated access, and the <u>policy</u> decision as to whether and if so under what circumstances that technical capability would be deployed.  IPC commends ICANN for maintaining that vital distinction in this
 draft proposal. As the public comment notice states, “once/if there is a consensus policy or some contractual provision allowing for differentiated access in RDP, the profile could be updated as needed.”  Indeed, the draft RDAP profile specifically refers
 to the capability to redact some data  “[I]f permitted or required by an ICANN agreement provision ,waiver, or Consensus Policy.” Section 1.4.11.”<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;color:#1f497d">However, I am pleased to see that the ALAC and IPC submissions on the companion notice regarding Thick Whois are very much in sync!  See

<p class="MsoNormal">This is a very important component of the overall move to update the Whois protocol and the various policies associated with it.  ALAC has specifically commented on this, concluding with the following:<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p><i>Therefore, while existing ICANN policies do not now require differentiated access to DNRD, it is clear from Board decisions and EWG recommendations that future ICANN policies will likely have that requirement. </i><u></u><u></u></p>
<p><i>The Operational Profile of RDAP, therefore, should include an obligation on all gTLD registries and registrars that the basic functionality will support an authentication and authorisation framework.</i><u></u><u></u></p>
<p><i>Specifically, the features to allow differentiated access must be required now, as part of this protocol – even if at this stage all access seekers will be in one class - the public. In that way, when differentiated access requirements are imposed, protocol
 features will already be deployed to provide such access.</i><u></u><u></u></p>
