<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">There is an updated proposal to handle the RySG proposed revision to the CL&D policy to remove the requirement to implement RDAP. We are planning to put a draft updated CL&D policy

Both requests, to implement CL&D and RDAP, are expected to happen by the end of January 2017 (after the public comment period) with effective date of implementation by 1 August 2017.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in">Dear IRT members,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in">As you know, on 7 February 2014, the ICANN Board adopted GNSO consensus policy recommendations regarding the provision of “Thick” Whois by all gTLD registries.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in">In consultation with the consensus policy Implementation Review Team (IRT), the implementation team identified two expected outcomes in the policy development process (PDP) recommendations:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.5in;text-indent:-.25in"><span style="font-family:Symbol">·</span><span style="font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman"">
</span>The consistent labeling and display of WHOIS output for all gTLDs<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.5in;text-indent:-.25in"><span style="font-family:Symbol">·</span><span style="font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman"">
</span>The transition from Thin to Thick WHOIS for .COM, .NET and .JOBS<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in">The first outcome was published as a consensus policy, the
<a href="https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/rdds-labeling-policy-2016-07-26-en">
Registry Registration Data Directory Services Consistent Labeling and Display Policy</a> (CL&D Policy), on 26 July 2016.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in">In August 2016, the Registry Stakeholder Group (RySG) submitted a
<a href="https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/reconsideration-16-10-rysg-request-2016-08-11-en">
Request for Reconsideration</a> (RfR) regarding the CL&D Policy. The RfR objects to the inclusion of RDAP as part of the Consensus Policy as RDAP was not contemplated or referenced in the policy recommendations.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in">To resolve this matter, ICANN proposes the following path forward for the IRT:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in">1. ICANN to issue a revised CL&D Policy to all registry operators, removing provision 12. For your reference, provision 12 states: “The implementation of an RDAP service in accordance with the "<a href="https://www.icann.org/rdap-gtld-profile">RDAP
Operational Profile for gTLD Registries and Registrars</a>" is required for all gTLD registries in order to achieve consistent labeling and display.” Additionally, I have attached the proposed revised CL&D Policy.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in;text-autospace:none"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in">2. Issue a revised notification to registry operators regarding implementation of the CL&D Policy, clearly indicating what has changed in the revised CL&D Policy.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in">3. Set the revised CL&D Policy effective date to allow for full 6-month implementation from the date of the revised notice.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in">4. Update the published CL&D Policy on the ICANN website, noting a change has been made. Note: The revised CL&D Policy would
<u>not</u> be subject to another Public Comment process.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in">5. Rescind the notification sent to registrars to implement RDAP.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in">ICANN intends to issue notices for registries and registrars to implement RDAP after further dialogue with the community.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in">Please let us know if you have comments or concerns by responding to this list. Unless we hear otherwise, we intend to move forward with the plan outlined above on 4 October 2016.<o:p></o:p></p>
