[Gdd-gnso-ppsai-impl] [Ext] Re: Updated PPAA draft and related materials attached for IRT review

Thu Mar 1 20:49:04 UTC 2018

Sara, Theo, and other registrars in the group—what do you think about Steve’s suggestion?

I know you’ve made (Sara, specifically) a few suggestions for language. These didn’t appear to have broad support on the list, but if the registrars in the group would like to work together to propose one of those formulations for inclusion in the call for comments we can certainly do that.

For reference, the IRT guidelines, which note the relevant processes for raising issues at the Council level, are available here: https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/irt-principles-guidelines-23aug16-en.pdf

I agree with Amy that this seems much more like an implementation issue than a policy question.  Perhaps it would be fruitful to agree on two options that would be presented for public comment (though of course commenters could also suggest additional alternatives).  I know several formulations have been put forward by Sara et al so perhaps they could select one of these for inclusion.

I am a bit puzzled by the observation that “ the registrars on the IRT have so far not experienced the issue.”  At one level that is of course true because we do not have an accreditation program in place yet, so registrars are free to operate p/p services without fulfilling any particular requirement regarding LE requests.    At another level, all registrars (or at least all those subject to the 2013 RAA section 3.18.2) must have a 24/7 contact in place to receive LE reports, and “well-founded reports of Illegal Activity submitted to these contacts must be reviewed within 24 hours by an individual who is empowered by Registrar to take necessary and appropriate actions in response to the report,” so I imagine there  might have been some experience relevant to this issue.  In any case registrars (and/or the RrSG) will, I am sure, express their preference in the public comment forum.

You could be right Amy, and perhaps this is a matter of optics.
I am not sure it is something that needs to be dealt with through the public comment period though.

 In the event that policy issues arise in the course of implementation discussions, they should be referred back to the GNSO in accordance with the framework for implementation associated with GNSO policy recommendations, including the Implementation Review Team Guidelines & Principles.

I think this is more applicable given the nature of the divide which is rather specific. My observation is that the registrars on the IRT have so far not experienced the issue, so we do not see the need.

Another alternative, and let me put down two tracks here. We could reach out to the ccTLD operators; I mentioned this before.
Or we just survey this at the RrSG; I am impartial here who sets up the survey (provide registrars find this reasonable), my suggestion is strictly as an IRT member and not as a RrSG member.

Best,

Theo

Dear Colleagues,

I want to follow up on the point raised about "making policy," as this has been raised before. The IRT is not a forum for making policy--we are here to implement the final policy recommendations developed through the bottom-up multistakeholder process. If members of the IRT believe that we are veering into the realm of policymaking, the GNSO liaison to the IRT may raise the issue with the GNSO Council.

With respect to this issue, staff leading this effort do not view any of the IRT's work as "making policy," for a variety of reasons. The Final Report did not contain a LEA framework, the way it did for IP, but it certainly contemplated that an LEA framework might be created in the future (the Final Report included  recommendations to be implemented in any future framework). In addition, no concerns were raised during the mandatory public comment period preceding the Board's adoption of the PDP recommendations and treatment of GAC advice on this topic.

There's a difference between various groups in the IRT not being able to agree on a point of implementation and making policy. This difference of opinion, in staff's view, falls in the prior category. We plan to seek community feedback on this point during the public comment period and the GNSO Council could be invited to weigh in during that period, as well.

Best,

Amy

Agree with Theo 100%, we have been wading around in the policy making pool far too much for an IRT.

Additionally, for me, defining "action" does not really address the issue.  The issue is that having a contractual obligation of 24 hours is too strict.  I have put forward numerous suggestions as starting points for discussing a potential compromise to no end.

    Thanks, Theo, and everyone else who has contributed to this discussion thus far.

    It does sound as though the IRT may not be able to reach agreement on the "24 hour" issue. If anyone else has comments about that point specifically, please share it with the list.

    However, we seem to potentially have more support on the proposal to further define "action" or to use a different word. Does anyone else want to share comments about that?

    And, also, do you have any thoughts about whether we should make any adjustments to the language about the receipt process and how that applies to "high priority" requests?

    Thanks Amy,

    Regarding the LEA framework and the specific ongoing discussion, it seems we are not able to come to an agreement here.

    I understand the firm position of the PSWG here, but I am still not convinced here based on experience, as such I think we are creating policy here, which would be against the recommendations, though can be justified in my personal expierence if there is material evidence policy needs to be created. But that does not appear to be the case here.
