                                    registry or registrar for gTLDs that
                                    people choose to point to. Anyone
                                    can set up alternate roots and if

                                    mouse trap and choose to point to
                                    those roots then that is what will

                                    <br>
                                    When people talk about the &quot;dark

                                    that does not rely on ICANN, the

                                    the gTLDs.  With respect to the

                                    registrars, I would argue that the
                                    community has historically had very
                                    little opportunity to influence
                                    those contracts, with the exception
                                    of the IPC who got their
                                    requirements in to the DOC prior to
                                    the establishment of ICANN. At the
                                    moment we are expending a great deal
                                    of our valuable time designing the
                                    public interface that contains the
                                    data we deem acceptable to share. 
                                    Inherent in the concept of tiered
                                    access, which some ccTLDS already
                                    employ, and which the DPAs have
                                    already said (in documents in our
                                    repository which clearly some of us
                                    need to reread) is the concept of
                                    discrimination....you need to
                                    identify who you are and why you
                                    want the data to get more access,
                                    possibly untraced access (to enable
                                    investigations etc) and bulk data. 
                                    I do understand that there is no
                                    &quot;centre&quot; there, but I certainly
                                    think that ICANN has influence over
                                    who gets access to the next tier of
                                    data. Let me repeat for greater
                                    clarity: I am not talking about thin
                                    data.<br>
                                    <br>
                                    I have taken the time to plough
                                    through the Interpol data protection
                                    handbook.  Some may recall that
                                    Caroline Goemans, the Data
                                    Protection Officer for Interpol came
                                    to Copenhagen.   I hesitate to even
                                    mention their handbook because folks
                                    will choose to believe that I want
                                    the Interpol rules for data sharing
                                    to apply to those tireless fighters
                                    who report abuse, across the
                                    globe...so let me immediately say
                                    relax, I am not suggesting this. 
                                    However, a mini version of how
                                    trusted parties share data needs, in
                                    my view, to be developed. I was just
                                    accused of suggesting something that
                                    is &quot;impractical in the developed
                                    world, and deeply chauvinistic,
                                    patronizing and exclusionary to our
                                    colleagues in emerging nations where
                                    capacity building is exactly what’s
                                    needed to deal with next-gen
                                    abuse.&quot;  Frankly, it should be
                                    admissible to suggest that we need a
                                    system that is slightly more
                                    organized and less open to
                                    anti-competitive behaviour than the
                                    club-of-folks-who-know-each-ot<wbr>her
                                    under which we are operating now. 
                                    It is precisely because we are
                                    global and a lot of the criminal
                                    behaviour emanates from countries
                                    where nobody has any mlats or has
                                    signed and implemented the Budapest
                                    Convention that I would suggest we
                                    should think about some kind of
                                    accreditation for access to data.
                                    Otherwise, registrars who surrender
                                    personal data of their registrants
                                    are likely in violation of more law
                                    than mere data protection law.  [for
                                    non-english speakers, the use of the
                                    word &quot;mere&quot; was intended to be
                                    ironic&quot;].<br>
