Subject: SSAD ODP survey for GAC members


Dear Manal and GAC Members,


We are interested in the views of individual GAC members and observers, as well as the GAC as a whole, if you so wish, on the questions included in this survey<https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ssadodpgac> to help inform the work of the SSAD Operational Design Phase as it relates to the accreditation of governmental entities and requests for disclosure of nonpublic gTLD registration data by governmental entities. We would appreciate your help in sharing this information with your GAC colleagues.



The Expedited Policy Development Process (EPDP) on the Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data Phase 2 work began in April 2019. Ultimately, the EPDP Phase 2 Team recommended the creation of a System for Standardized Access/Disclosure (SSAD) in its Final Report<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/epdp-phase-2-temp-spec-gtld-registration-data-2-31jul20-en.pdf>, which was submitted to the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council on 31 July 2020. The GNSO Council adopted the Final Recommendations<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/epdp-phase-2-temp-spec-gtld-registration-data-2-31jul20-en.pdf> from the Phase 2 Final Report by a GNSO supermajority, and transmitted<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/fouquart-to-botterman-29oct20-en.pdf> the Recommendations Report to the ICANN Board on 29 October 2020. Subsequently, on 25 March 2021, the Board directed<https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2021-03-25-en#2.c> the ICANN CEO to conduct an Operational Design Phase (ODP) for the GNSO Council-approved recommendations #1 through #18 which relate to the SSAD, to help the Board’s consideration of the consensus policy recommendations.


The SSAD ODP team is contacting you today in relation to recommendation #2 of the EPDP Phase 2 Final Report, which refers to “Accreditation of governmental entities.” The scoping document<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/ssad-non-public-registration-data-odp-scoping-25mar21-en.pdf> created for the SSAD ODP covers Country/Territory/Governmental Accreditation in Section 3.1.2 under Operational Readiness.


As described in the EPDP Phase 2 Final Report, an “Accreditation Authority'' would confirm and verify the identity of a user (represented by an Identifier Credential). Accreditation by a country or territory’s government body or its authorized body would be available to various eligible government entities that require access to nonpublic generic top-level domain (gTLD) registration data for the exercise of their public policy tasks. In essence, the governmental accreditation authorities will be charged with verifying that entities that have a legitimate interest and/or legal basis in requesting access to nonpublic gTLD registration data via the SSAD as a government representative/agent from their jurisdiction are who they claim to be (identity verification) and that the entities themselves have met the criteria for SSAD accreditation.


We respectfully request responses on any or all of the questions in the survey, as well as any further input the GAC deems relevant to the accreditation of governmental entities and requests for disclosure of nonpublic registration data by governmental entities, by 17 September This timeline helps give us enough time to analyze and inform the work of the ODP. Please note, individual survey submissions by GAC members and observers will remain anonymous. They will however be aggregated and used in the SSAD Operational Design Assessment (ODA) document which will summarize the SSAD ODP findings and be presented to the ICANN Board. More information on the SSAD ODP is available at https://www.icann.org/ssadodp.



We appreciate your attention to this request. If you or any GAC members have questions about this survey or anything else regarding the SSAD ODP, please contact us by sending an email to ODP-SSAD at icann.org<mailto:ODP-SSAD at icann.org>. Please note, the full text of your email, including your comment, name, and email address, will be published in the archive on ICANN org’s website<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/odp-ssad/>. Note: The publication of emails may be delayed until after a mailing list moderator reviews the email in order to reduce off-topic messages and unsolicited commercial advertisements.


Sincerely,
