Colegas,

el llamado anexo puede tener implicaciones legales apreciables en nuestra 
región. Convoquemos a los expertos en protección de datos personales y otros 
temas relacionados con la retención de datos (cómputo forense, leyes de 
telecomunicaciones, Marco Civil en el caso particular de Brasil) para conformar 
una opinión sólida, si hay el interés suficiente.

ICANN Seeks Public Comment on 2013 RAA Data Retention Specification Data 
Elements and Legitimate Purposes for Collection and Retention

21 March 2014

ICANN has been in discussions with a number of Registrars regarding data 
retention waiver requests ("Waiver Requests") submitted under the 2013 
Registrar Accreditation Agreement (the "2013 RAA"). Some Registrars are seeking 
an exemption from certain collection and/or retention requirements under the 
Data Retention Specification (the "Specification") of the 2013 RAA. Section 2 
of the Data Retention Specification sets forth requirements regarding the 
written materials a Registrar must submit in support of its good faith 
determination that the collection and/or retention of any data element 
specified in the Specification violates applicable law, and provides that 
following notice to ICANN of the Waiver Request, ICANN and the applicable 
Registrar shall discuss the matter in good faith in an effort to reach a 
mutually acceptable resolution of the matter. An update on the 2013 RAA and the 
data retention waiver process can be found here: 
http://blog.icann.org/2014/02/update-on-2013-raa-and-data-retention-waiver-process/

ICANN understands that personal data should be treated in accordance with 
applicable data protection laws, which generally permit gathering and retention 
of personal data for legitimate purpose(s). ICANN also understands that the law 
may vary from country to country as to (i) what is considered a legitimate 
purpose, (ii) whether the personal data is adequate, relevant and not excessive 
in relation to the legitimate purpose for which they are collected and (iii) 
for how long certain data elements may be retained. In other words, what is 
considered a legitimate purpose for collection of certain data in one country 
may not be considered a legitimate purpose in another country.

During ICANN's discussions in an effort to reach a mutually acceptable 
resolution of the matter, some Registrars have requested that ICANN (a) clarify 
and better define certain data elements described in the Data Retention 
Specification that the Registrars maintain are not clearly defined; and (b) 
describe potentially legitimate purposes for collection and retention of each 
data element that would help provide guidance for Registrars both as to whether 
such elements may be lawfully collected, and, if so, for how long such elements 
might lawfully be retained.

In response to these requests from some Registrars, ICANN is posting for public 
comment a document seeking to clarify what is meant by certain data elements 
described in the Data Retention Specification and describing potentially 
legitimate purposes for collection and retention of those data elements. That 
document can be found 
here<http://www.icann.org/en/resources/registrars/raa/draft-data-retention-spec-elements-21mar14-en.pdf>
 [PDF, 116 KB]. The document will be posted for a period of thirty (30) days to 
seek feedback and input from the community on (i) whether the data elements are 
appropriately described, (ii) whether the cited purposes for collection and 
retention are appropriate and legitimate, and (iii) whether there are other 
potentially legitimate purposes for collection and retention of such data 
elements. After the thirty (30) day period following this posting has expired, 
ICANN will consider all feedback and input received in connection with ICANN’s 
ongoing discussions to reach a mutually acceptable resolution of Waiver 
Requests. In the interim, ICANN will continue its ongoing discussions to reach 
a mutually acceptable resolution of Waiver Requests with individual Registrars 
with the goal of granting additional Waiver Requests as and when appropriate.

A public comment period will remain open until 23:59 p.m. PDT/California, 21 
April 2014. Public comments will be available for consideration by ICANN staff 
and the ICANN Board.
