[council] Draft PDP charter - Privacy & Proxy Accreditation Services PDP WG

Wed Oct 16 09:07:33 UTC 2013

Thanks Volker,

Agreed on the title.  I think the Privacy & Proxy Accreditation Services PDP
WG is a typo/error and it should read Privacy & Proxy Services Accreditation
PDP WG.

Thanks also for the specific additional input of your two points italicised
below.

I’d very much like to get additional input on whether or not we (or with the
help of input from our respective groups / constituencies) can get the
current draft charter polished to a satisfactory state.

There is obviously a driver to getting the WG going without the DT step
i.e. to demonstrate that the PDP process can be efficient and, to some
extent, flexible whilst still being thorough.  

But, clearly we need to be sure that we are confident that we can tolerate
skipping this (DT) step if we go down that route.

Services PDP WG

Hi Jonathan, 

first of all, I support the new naming of the proposed PDP to better fit and
describe the only identified remaining issues. By giving the PDP WG a name
that says what is does, it will be easier to attract the necessary parties
to participate in this important effort and add focus the work effort. Maybe
just one suggestion would be to switch the positions of the words
"Accreditation" and "Services" to make it read: "Privacy & Proxy Services
Accreditation PDP WG", i.e. the way it is spelled out in text of the draft
charter, but not in the headline.

Regarding the charter, I feel that the draft is already a good template for
the WG. While it may be advisable to give it a final polish in a Drafting
Team, I can see why there is support for option one. I would however suggest
a few further issues to consider:

"What are the effects of the privacy & proxy service specification contained
in the 2013 RAA? Have these new requirements improved Whois quality,
registrant contactability and service usability?"

"What should be the contractual obligations of ICANN accredited registrars
with regard to accredited privacy/proxy service providers? Should registrars
be permitted to knowingly accept registrations where the registrant is using
unaccredited service providers that are however bound to the same standards
as accredited service providers?"

etc.

So I am not yet certain this draft is or should be the final word. While the
remaining changes to this draft may be minor, it maybe worthwhile to go
through the entire process by creating a drafting team, if just to make sure
all the "i"s are dotted.

Best regards,

Volker

All,

Following up on our discussion regarding the charter for the “RAA Remaining
Issues PDP” on our call on Thursday last week, I hope that we can start a
discussion right away regarding possible revisions to the draft charter
prepared by staff which I forwarded to you all just prior to our meeting.  I
believe our aim should be to form a view as to whether or not the draft
charter, as amended according to our anticipated discussions, is a document
that can be voted on for adoption at our next Council meeting. 

As a reminder, our options are essentially either:

1.       Discuss and revise this draft charter for formal adoption by the
Council, which will then proceed to form a Working Group (WG) to begin work;
or 

2.       Create a Drafting Team (DT) to finalize a charter – based either
upon this draft or starting from a blank slate – to be proposed for adoption
at a later Council meeting.

On our Thursday call last week, several Councillors supported option 1 above
as a pragmatic way forward i.e. to see if we can find agreement as to the
terms of the charter that will govern the WG's work. I am therefore
circulating the draft Charter again (re-titled and slightly revised to more
accurately reflect the scope of the PDP) for discussion. 

My sense is that the scope will be largely governed by the specific issues
that are laid out in Section III of the draft Charter.  So, perhaps we can
start by discussing possible revisions to these questions, not in terms of
substantive discussion over the merits or content of the answers, but in
relation to whether they sufficiently describe and frame the scope of work
for the WG.

If we are able to reach agreement within the next week, we can then propose
the revised charter for adoption on 21 October i.e. within the document
deadline for our upcoming 31 October meeting.

I look forward to an engaging and constructive discussion on the list on
this topic.

Thanks,

Jonathan
