[RDS-WHOIS2-RT] Subgroup 4 Compliance draft report

Thu Jun 21 16:16:58 UTC 2018

Hi Susan,

regarding subsection 3.2.1.1.f) I propose a rewrite as discussed on our 
call.

I realize this turns the original drive of this section on its head, but 
I believe it is the only correct assessment when taking into account all 
data available to us. We simply have no data suggesting these domain 
name pose a bigger problem than others, and the trend of transition is 
undisputable.

/*f. Grandfathered domain names*///

//

/Under the 2013 RAA Whois Accuracy Specification, new requirements 
regarding verification and validation of registration data would only 
apply to domain names that were newly registered, transferred between 
registrars, had a change to the RNH occur, or that gave substantiated 
rise to doubts regarding the accuracy of the registration data after the 
date that the sponsoring registrar signed on to the 2013 version of the 
RAA (At this time, only one registrar under the 2009 RAA remains). 
Domain names that did not meet these conditions were considerd 
"grandfathered domain names" to which the data accuracy requirements of 
the 2009 RAA continued to apply (e.g. they do not require the collection 
and display of Registrant email address, postal address or phone number 
it, or validation or verification of the data./

//

/The latest WHOIS ARS Report (Phase 2 - Cycle 6) shows that the number 
of such grandfathered domain names has steadily decreased from over time 
from near 70% in June 2015 to near 30% in January 2018 as one or more of 
the above trigger conditions for verification and/or validation of their 
registration data occurred.Provided the current trend bears out, it can 
be expected that over the course of the next 2-3 years the percentage of 
grandfathered domains amongst the entire gTLD domain pool will drop to a 
single digit percentage. //
//
//ICANN has not seen a need to revise the terms and conditions of the 
whois accuracy specification in accordance with its section 5.)./

//

/*Analysis:*//If we assume the sample of ARS domain names of 
grandfathered domain names is statistically relevant then we can 
extrapolate that an equivalent trend of decreasing numbers of 
grandfathered domain registrations exists amongst all domain names 
currently registered. The transition process seems to be workign as 
intended. /

//

/We have asked the compliance team to provide data on percentages of 
accuracy complaints applying to grandfathered domains but they do not 
track this data. /

//

/*Based on this analysis, the subgroup identified the following 
Problems/Issues:*/

//

/Current RDS policies do not apply equally to all domain name 
registrations. The 2013 RAA had a built-in transition process for 
gradual adoption of the new requirements of pre-existing domain name 
registrations based on those domain name registrations meeting certain 
trigger conditions. WHOIS ARS results appear to suggest this process is 
working as intended. While grandfathered domain name registrations still 
exist current trends suggest that their number will stop being 
statistically relevant in a few more years. More data may be needed to 
track this development as well as the amount of abuse complaints 
involving such domain names.
/

//

/*To address these issues, the subgroup proposes the following 
recommendation (further detailed in Section 5):*/

///
ICANN and contracted parties should track the numbers of grandfathered 
domain names involved in abuse complaints to see if these registrations 
constitute a problem that would require a faster transition period./

(Probably not a top 5 recommendation)

Best,
Volker
