[IAG-WHOIS conflicts] Discussion paper for 1 April 2015 meeting

[Mary Wong]

Hello Christopher and everyone,

Here are some links and background information on the GNSO policy that we
hope will be helpful:
* The GNSO Council¹s resolution of 28 November 2005 approving the consensus
recommendation of the Whois Task Force that ICANN develop and document such
a procedure: http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#200511
* The October 2005 Final Report of the Whois Task Force:
http://gnso.icann.org/issues/tf-final-rpt-25oct05.htm
* The existing procedure that is under review and discussion:
http://whois.icann.org/en/icann-procedure-handling-whois-conflicts-privacy-l
aw
Group members may also find the historical and current information compiled
and available on ICANN¹s website on Whois to be of assistance:

Cheers
Mary

>> Good evening:

>> Thankyou, Stephanie, for these interesting observations, with which I largely
>> concur. I am also not a lawyer, but as a long-standing participant in ICANN
>> processes, may I observe that these matters have been under discussion for
>> nigh on fifteen years.
>> 
>> 1. There is no call for any further public consultation and delay. That has
>> been done. All the relevant information is already available:
>>   either through past consultation and communication, or through a review of
>> applicable laws.
>> 
>> 2. The primary objective should be for ICANN to align its privacy policy on
>> global best practice. That is not the case today.
>> 
>> 3. Failing which, and meanwhile, ICANN should institute 'block-exemptions' to
>> allow Registries and Registrars to automatically conform a priori - in their
>> accreditation contracts -  to the privacy laws of their jurisdiction.
>> Obviously it is unnecessary and undesirable to attempt to customise
>> case-by-case each accreditation agreement, whereas the generally applicable
>> privacy laws are already known.
>> The costs of such customisation to ICANN and to the Registries and Registrars
>> concerned are unjustified.
>> 
>> Best regards
