[Gnso-ppsai-pdp-wg] definitions of relay, publication, reveal

I agree with Luc and Tim - and some of the other comments on the list.

From memory, the purpose of clause 3.7.7.3 was to say that SOMEONE has to be responsible for a domain name, regardless of whether they are accredited under the Specification (and resultant documentation) or not.  So for Luc, I don't imagine that he will have 'licensed' the domain name for his aunt.  He was simply being a kind nephew - well done.  But if his aunt goes on a hijacking spree, then Luc is in the frame, unless he reveals all of his aunt's contact details and lets the relevant authorities take action against his aunt.

The purpose of the clause at the higher level - to ensure that someone takes responsibility and, if they won't reveal contact details, then they should take the rap and, I think we would argue, stop the use of that domain name by the miscreant.  That does two things - it protects privacy since the party's details don't have to be revealed.  But if they aren't revealed, then they are stopped.

So the big tasks ahead include determining what the specification means by 'accrediting' a p/p service (acknowledging that they may be defined differently, with commensurate requirements), acknowledging that anyone (including those outside of accredited parties) who does let someone else use 'their' name (they being the registered name holder) are nevertheless responsible.

Now to start work on both what is/are a p/p service(s) and what the tests should be for an 'accreditation'.

By doing so I had/have no intention of acting as a p/p provider, but merely to appoint as registrant a tad more knowledgeable person than my aunt for technical matters. i.e. if she got the email address based on this domain name hacked and you would like to inform her, I am certain you will prefer to speak to me.

Any registrant may license a domain name to someone else to use and have no intention of operating a p/p service. If so, this clause informs them (because it has to be in our registration agreements) that they have certain obligations.

In footnote 7 of the “Grouping of Charter Questions” paper, there is a reference to the “Terms of Reference for GNSO Whois Studies (refer to WG Background Documents).”, but I am not able to find that document. Could you please point me to the paper I have to look up?
