<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU">Hello all,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU">Attached is the first section of the draft ‘gaps’ chapter, for review and comment.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU">As you’ll see, this section covers accessibility and privacy issues, and it still has some gaps.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU">I’ve also drafted and included some recommendations on this issue, building on the public and law enforcement input and our own discussions. I hope these are helpful.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU">As you’ll see, I’ve drawn a distinction between proxy and privacy services in the draft chapter, and this will need some further work (but I didn’t want to delay getting this out to you any further while I worked on this).
I’ve tried to unpack this distinction in the draft chapter, but also wanted to also explain my thinking to you.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU">The main challenge identified by responses to our consultation processes, and in our own discussions, is to find a way to balance any legitimate privacy concerns with the interests of other stakeholders. The position
I’ve put forward in the draft chapter is that this can be achieved through the regulated use of
<i>privacy</i> services (i.e. services that make the identity of the registrant known, but limit availability to other personal data – at least in the first instance).
<i>Proxy</i> services, which replace the name of the registrant with that of another entity, are quite different in nature, and I think that these services raise serious questions about ICANN’s ability to enforce its AoC obligations.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU">I have drafted the chapter with this distinction in mind, although some parts of the argument need a bit more work.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU">I’m aiming to circulate the next section of the draft chapter - on accuracy - in a day or two, and the section on compliance shortly after that.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU">Unfortunately the next call is now scheduled for 1am my time, so I won’t be attending.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU">I look forward to discussing this further as we work towards our Marina del Ray meeting.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU">Cheers,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
