This comment has been circulated within the ALAC and At-Large, but
there has not been sufficient time to decide to what extent if it
fully accepted. As such, it is being submitted here purely on my
personal behalf.
===============
There has been significant community comment that this proposal was
originally (and to some extent still is) a creature of the BC.
I APPLAUD that the BC/IPC have taken the initiative to do this! I and
many of us have been saying for several months (certainly starting
before the Abu Dhabi meeting) that the accreditation model is an
absolute key to moving forward.
The BC/IPC have done something and put it down on paper. Bravo!
I think this model is a great start.
I see problems with it, but we need to start the discussion
somewhere. What do I see as problematic?
* I think the provision to give access to "All users", while it
would be nice for me personally, is more than a bit loose. We are
going to need something MUCH stronger to grant access over and above
the other accredited channels.
* A single tier is not sufficient. There should be more
granularity based on the uses. Perhaps we could start with this
single and improve later, but my preference would be to use the
use-cases we have already built to provide more than one few tier (ie
more than just a) thin WHOIS, or b) ALL of the data.)
* I look forward to the work that the document says the SSAC is
doing regarding credentialization.
* I STRONGLY support the

from the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG). These comments make the
model more effective and implementable. The only one I find possible
questionable related to funding the accreditation process. Although I
would prefer that it is an integral part of the DNS and WHOIS (and
thus funded by ICANN through its normal sources), I would not want to
see implementation delayed over this issue.
