Section I PP Policy, Illustrative 12-month timeline

Hello, All,

I have a few developments to share with you. Items 3 and 4 require action
from you, so please review this message carefully.

First, ICANN will be formally announcing to accredited registrars today that
the expiration date of the 2013 RAA Specification on Privacy and Proxy
Registrations is extended to 1 January 2018.

Second, the new LEA subgroup page is up the wiki,
https://community.icann.org/display/IRT/Subgroup%3A+Law+Enforcement+Authorit
y+Issues. The subgroup likely won't meet until shortly before ICANN58, but I
am glad that so many of you have signed up and that we have the subgroup
ready when there is a proposal ready to discuss. I'll continue to share all
information I have about this effort with you (this effort should be
officially kicked off with the PSWG in early January).

Third, a first draft of Section 1 of the Privacy and Proxy Service Provider
Accreditation Provider is attached and ready for your review. We will be
discussing this on our 10 January call. Please provide your initial feedback
to the list no later than your EOD 6 January, so that we can plan for how to
allocate time for this topic on the next call. 

Fourth, pursuant to a request on the 13 December 2016 call, ICANN has
prepared an illustrative timeline showing our best estimate for how we could
attempt to compress the existing project plan into a one-year timeline to
coincide with the new 1 January 2018 expiration date of the interim 2013 RAA
Specification.

Please note:

*         This is ICANN's best estimate only. If the IRT wants to pursue
this compressed timeline, this plan could shift and change along the way due
to a variety of factors and dependencies, many beyond ICANN's (and the
IRT's) control (for example, an additional deliverable on Transfer Policy
requirements might need to be added to the project plan). 

*         The distribution of this illustrative timeline is not an ICANN
endorsement of this timeline. There could be significant impacts to the
initial application process and account management infrastructure, at a
minimum, to rolling out this program at this pace-impacts that might be seen
as detrimental by some within the community. For example, it is unlikely
that ICANN will have a portal/system in place to accept applications and for
accredited services to manage their accounts by 1 January 2018, even if the
final implementation can be announced as soon as October 2017.

*         Dates noted in the timeline should not be interpreted as a
commitment by ICANN, as meeting each milestone will depend on a multitude of
factors.

*         Moving along at this pace would require weekly meetings, at a
minimum. IRT discussion on topics that must be decided upon each week would
either (a) need to be time-limited, by some process (suggested time
allotments in the illustrative example are for discussion purposes only), or
(b) the IRT would likely need to have longer or multiple meetings during at
least some weeks to stay on schedule and resolve the relevant topic(s).

*         Meeting this illustrative timeline would significantly impact the
burdens placed on staff and IRT volunteers. This could have a significant
impact on the costs required to implement this program. 

*         We want to stress the importance of ensuring that the final
program implementation is sound and delivers what the PDP WG intended. This
cannot be sacrificed for speed's sake (though staff will do everything we
can to be efficient managers of this process).

*         ICANN will require at least 6+ months to become operationally
ready to process applications for accreditation after all program
requirements are finalized.

With those cautions firmly in mind, ICANN commits to use all reasonable
efforts to adhere closely to this proposed timeline if the IRT wants to
pursue this path. 

Please provide your feedback on this timeline no later than 6 January 2017.
If the IRT would like to explore some compromise between the originally
proposed timeline and this 12-month timeline, ICANN is also open to that
(this exercise identified some areas where this timeline might be compressed
with lesser impacts on overall burdens than the 12-month timeline attached).

Fifth, I have consulted internally regarding the appropriate day(s) for
scheduling face-to-face meetings before ICANN58 (which was the most popular
option in the Doodle poll, by one vote). The schedule is not set yet, so I
apologize that the poll was premature. I will let you know as soon as I know
what the approved date(s) for a day-long meeting prior to ICANN58 would be.

Finally, this is a reminder that ICANN offices are closed 24 December until
2 January. I hope that you all have a happy and healthy holiday season (for
those who celebrate) and I look forward to working with you all in the new
year.

Best,

Amy
