[council] Topic for Discussion at Abu Dhabi

[James M. Bladel]

Colleagues – 

With deference & respect to my RrSG colleague, I’m reluctant to table this topic during our meeting in Abu Dhabi.  On previous occasions, I’ve referred to it as a “black hole” or “cat nip” or “agenda killer”, as it nearly always results in un-constructive discussions, eats up meeting time, and ultimately shows up again and again on future agendas.

However, given that there’ve been some significant developments in the wild (.AMSTERDAM and letter from ICANN GDD), and the fact that earlier this year we committed to revisiting the topic in Abu Dhabi, we can go forward and include it on the agenda for 1 NOV.  BUT, I would ask that Michele and others first establish some ground rules that:

• Limit the scope of discussion to prevent us from trying to solve everything GDPR during the Council meeting, and
• Identifying what outcome or tangible action item we want to achieve as a result of our discussion.

With this in mind, I would ask Michele to help address these two points prior to our meeting in Abu Dhabi.  And if other Councilors have thoughts on how to limit this topic, please reply with those as well.


Thank you,
 
J.

    All
    
    Apologies if I'm a bit late with this.
    
    One of the items that we should discuss if time permits while we are at Abu Dhabi is the whois conflicts with local law, specifically around the triggers.
    
    This topic has come up for discussion several times in the past (mild understatement!) and in light of other discussions I believe it is timely for us to look at this again.
    
    Bear in mind, however, that this policy and the triggers we are talking about is quite narrow in its focus and remit. They are merely a method to start a discussion between the contracted party and ICANN in order to resolve a conflict.
