[Gnso-ppsai-pdp-wg] Questions for P/P providers from the WG call earlier today

[Graeme Bunton]

Hi Keith,

We've seen descriptions of their processes from GoDaddy, Tucows and 
Endurance.

What I think should be inferred though from our discussions and from 
those descriptions is that there are no established standards for 
disclosure because they are exceedingly difficult to craft.  In many 
respects, standards would make the jobs of our compliance teams 
significantly easier. However, in our years of doing business we have 
never come to a place where we've found a set of rules that we can apply 
to the variety of requests that we get.

This working group is attempting to codify rules (in a relatively short 
time frame) that service providers haven't been able to achieve 
individually.  This isn't to say we shouldn't try, but it's clearly not 
easy.  There are few black and white cases, and unending reams of gray 
requests, which is why we've heard so much about providers protecting 
their ability to exercise discretion.

As for the below questions:

1. I think I answered this previously in my description of our service.
2. is an idea we had previously considered, 'self-requested take-down' 
might be something we offer pending the outcome of this WG
3. We do not have one for private 3rd parties. Excluding LEA and UDRP

4. & 5.  Answers to these require the provider to be using some sort of 
ticketing/request system that allows tagging/categorization and 
reporting based on outcomes.   Many may not be big enough to have this 
sort of system in place, or have systems that don't offer these 
features.   This is probably exceedingly difficult information to 
capture.

Graeme
