<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">Dear all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt;text-align:justify">I will not be able to join the call tomorrow so I thought that I should drop an email to the list to explain why I voted against the proposed possible WG Agreement according to which “<i>Criminal
Activity/DNS Abuse – Investigation is NOT a legitimate purpose for requiring collection of registration data, but maybe a legitimate purpose of using some data collected for other purposes</i>.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt;text-align:justify">I think that there are a number of rationales/grounds - including in ICANN’s Bylaws - to argue that in fact, investigating criminal activity and DNS Abuse
<b>IS</b> a legitimate purpose for requiring the collection of registration data.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt;text-align:justify">Some of these rationales have been mentioned during the discussion on the mailing list and during the call on 9<sup>th</sup> January. Unfortunately, I think that the proposed possible WG agreement
does not take into consideration these rationales. I specifically disagree with the assumption that we should make a distinction between 1) the purpose of collecting the data and 2) the purpose for using the data collected for other purposes (manage domain
registrations). <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt;text-align:justify">The reason why I disagree with making this distinction is that it leads to artificially reduce the importance of a valid and legitimate purpose of the WHOIS system, acknowledged by ICANN Bylaws:
addressing malicious abuse of the DNS and providing a framework to address appropriate law enforcement needs. (ICANN’s mandate is to “ensure the stable and secure operation of the internet’s unique identifier systems”<a style="mso-footnote-id:ftn1" href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" title=""><sup><sup><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">[1]</span></sup></sup></a>
+ WHOIS data is essential for “the legitimate needs of law enforcement” and for “promoting consumer trust.”<a style="mso-footnote-id:ftn2" href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" title=""><sup><sup><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">[2]</span></sup></sup></a>
). In its document on the three compliance models issued last Friday<a style="mso-footnote-id:ftn3" href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3" title=""><sup><sup><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">[3]</span></sup></sup></a>,
ICANN has explicitly included: addressing the needs of law enforcement, investigation of cybercrime and DNS abuse as legitimate purposes of the WHOIS system.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt;text-align:justify">If one of the purpose of the WHOIS system is to support a framework to address issues involving domain name registrations, including investigation of cybercrime and DNS abuse, it can be argued
that investigating criminal activity and DNS abuse IS a legitimate purpose for requiring the collection of registration data. Likewise, I think that requiring collection of registration data to prevent crime is NOT beyond ICANN's mandate because this data
is essential for ICANN to fulfil its mandate. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none">I have attached a list of relevant references supporting this point of view taken from ICANN’s Bylaws and the GDPR.
