[NCAP-Discuss] Report Changes Based on Public Comments

[Thomas, Matthew]

Michael,

Thank you for putting this together.  I just reviewed and placed a few comments/suggest in the document.  Overall, I think this is in good shape; however ……

@ALL-NCAP-DG – Please, please, please take some time to review and comment/suggest!  We are so close to the finish line.  Let’s get this done!

Matt Thomas

Hello team!

Here’s a link to the completed Annex of public comments received, NCAP DG responses, and report changes adopted.


Please review the responses in column 4 (NCAP DG Response) and leave a comment in the document should you have any concerns or suggestions.

I’m currently in the process of editing the report based upon the DG’s responses to public comments. I will share those edits with the group as soon as possible—by tomorrow or Wednesday at the very latest.

Having the report edits reviewed and approved (or else modified based on feedback) prior to next week’s meeting would be ideal.

Thanks!
Michael

Focal points for report edits:
- Operationalization of TRT and implementation of Name Collision Risk Assessment Framework should be expeditious, for which ICANN org would need to provide sufficient resources.
- TRT should have the responsibility to remove a string from the String Collision List upon finding that the risk of collision has been appropriately mitigated.
- All strings should be subject to a typical technical evaluation process without preferential review treatment for any grouping of strings. The implementation of special procedures for certain types of strings based upon policy adoption is out of scope for this report.
- Further research by the ICANN community will be necessary based on evolutions in the DNS and name resolution issues.
- The data collection methods proposed for the TRT are a small sampling of known and tested methods. Other methods may be used, but they remain untested and are out of scope within this report. Ultimately, which methods to use should be critically considered during the operationalization of the TRT.
- The NCAP DG deliberated on the proposed data collection methods as a sample of possible and available methods based upon careful consideration and balance of data privacy risks and potential benefits.
- Data that is presently available to the public, which applicants could use to self-assess their applications is constrained.
- The data to be made publicly available to applicants should be recommended by the TRT during its implementation based upon critical focus of data sources that would strengthen applications.
- The TRT should distribute time frames to the public as early as possible for stages of the Name Collision Risk Assessment Framework based on implementation details.
- Updated the agreed-upon definition of “name collision” within the report based on the response from ICANN org.
- The NCAP DG does not find it within its remit to provide specific guidance on elements of the operationalization of the Technical Review Team and the Name Collision Risk Assessment Framework, including what data to collect, how to assess this data, and how to maintain compliance with data privacy and risk management standards. The intent of not prescribing implementation details is for ICANN org to have broadly lateral oversight.
- The ICANN org would need to implement a data privacy and protection policy, along with appropriate risk mitigation measures for legal compliance.
