Hi Stephanie, all:
I participated in the second DNS Forum here in Istanbul Monday and Tuesday
where I learned a little more about the Next-Generation gTLD Registration
Directory Service, but really want to learn more (especially since I'm
relatively new to the ICANN community). As such, I signed up as an observer
and am looking forward to the discussions.
Best,
-Michael

>>>>>>
>>>>>>
>>>>>>
>>>>>> *What This Team Will Do*
>>>>>>
>>>>>>
>>>>>> The PDP WG will use a 3-phase process defined in the approved charter
>>>>>> <http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/whois-ng-gtld-rds-charter-07oct15-en.pdf>to
>>>>>> (1) establish gTLD registration data requirements to determine if and why a

>>>>>> requirements, and (3) provide guidance for how a next-generation RDS should
>>>>>> implement those policies, coexisting with and eventually replacing WHOIS.
>>>>>>

>>>>>> <https://whois.icann.org/sites/default/files/files/final-issue-report-next-generation-rds-07oct15-en.pdf>

>>>>>> Council
>>>>>> <http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/whois-ng-gtld-rds-charter-07oct15-en.pdf>
>>>>>> [PDF, 628 KB]. Specifically, this PDP WG is tasked with analyzing the
>>>>>> purpose of collecting, maintaining and providing access to gTLD
>>>>>> registration data and considering safeguards for protecting that data,
>>>>>> determining if and why a next-generation RDS is needed to replace WHOIS,
>>>>>> and creating policies and coexistence and implementation guidance to meet
>>>>>> those needs.
>>>>>>
>>>>>> During the first phase of this PDP, the PDP WG will, at a minimum,
>>>>>> attempt to reach consensus recommendations regarding the questions detailed
>>>>>> in the PDP WG’s charter. The PDP WG’s output will then be submitted to
>>>>>> the GNSO Council for approval of its recommendations regarding IF and WHY a
>>>>>> next-generation RDS is needed to replace WHOIS before moving to the next
>>>>>> phase. If the WG concludes a new policy framework is needed, this output
>>>>>> should include requirements to be addressed by that new framework and any
>>>>>> next-generation RDS. However, if the WG concludes the existing WHOIS system
>>>>>> can adequately address requirements, the WG’s output should confirm this
>>>>>> and identify any necessary changes to the WHOIS policy framework.
>>>>>>
>>>>>> After Phase 1, if the GNSO Council confirms that a new policy

>>>>>> proceed to Phases 2 and 3, recommending a new consensus policy framework to
>>>>>> satisfy requirements for a next-generation RDS established in Phase 1,

>>>>>> Background
>>>>>>
>>>>>>
>>>>>> Created in the 1980s, WHOIS began as a service to identify and
>>>>>> contact entities responsible for the operation of a network resource on the
>>>>>> Internet. Over the years, ICANN's requirements for gTLD domain name
>>>>>> registration data collection, access and accuracy have undergone some
>>>>>> important changes. Yet, after nearly 15 years of task forces, review teams,
>>>>>> and studies, comprehensive WHOIS policy reform remains the source of
>>>>>> long-running discussion and debate.
>>>>>>
>>>>>> In 2012, the ICANN Board launched the Expert Working Group on gTLD
>>>>>> Registration Directory Services (EWG) to help redefine the purpose of gTLD
>>>>>> registration data and consider how to safeguard the data, and to propose a
>>>>>> model for gTLD registration directory services (RDS) to address accuracy,
>>>>>> privacy, and access issues.
>>>>>>
>>>>>> Upon publication of the EWG's Final Report in June, 2014, an informal
>>>>>> group of GNSO Councilors and ICANN Board Members collaborated to propose a
>>>>>> Process Framework for structuring a GNSO PDP to successfully address these
>>>>>> challenging issues. This Process Framework was adopted by the Board in
>>>>>> 2015, along with a reaffirmation of its 2012 request for a PDP to be
>>>>>> convened to define the purpose of collecting, maintaining and providing
>>>>>> access to gTLD registration data. The Board also asked that the PDP
>>>>>> consider safeguards for protecting data, using the recommendations in the
>>>>>> EWG's Final Report as an input to, and, if appropriate, as the foundation
>>>>>> for a new gTLD policy.
>>>>>>
>>>>>> In preparation for this PDP, a new Preliminary Issue Report
>>>>>> <http://whois.icann.org/sites/default/files/files/rds-prelim-issue-13jul15-en.pdf>
>>>>>> [PDF, 1.4 MB] was published for public comment
>>>>>> <https://www.icann.org/public-comments/rds-prelim-issue-2015-07-13-en>
>>>>>> on 13 July 2015. A Final Issue Report
>>>>>> <https://whois.icann.org/sites/default/files/files/final-issue-report-next-generation-rds-07oct15-en.pdf>
>>>>>> [PDF, 1.2 MB] was subsequently published on 7 October 2015, including links
>>>>>> to all public comments received, along with a draft charter for the PDP WG.
>>>>>> This draft charter was approved by the GNSO Council on 19 November
>>>>>> 2015
>>>>>> <https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocouncilmeetings/Motions+19+November+2015>,
>>>>>> enabling the formation of a GNSO working group of community volunteers to
>>>>>> progress this PDP.
>>>>>>
>>>>>> More information can be found on the GNSO PDP on Next-Generation
>>>>>> gTLD Registration Directory Service (RDS) page
>>>>>> <http://gnso.icann.org/en/group-activities/active/rds> and the WG's
>>>>>> wiki
>>>>>> <https://community.icann.org/display/gTLDRDS/Next-Generation+gTLD+Registration+Directory+Services+to+Replace+Whois>,
>>>>>> including the WG's charter, inputs already provided by all SG/Cs during the
>>>>>> public comment period, and an extensive library of foundational materials
>>>>>> to inform the WG's deliberations. In addition, the WG will reach out to all
>>>>>> SG/Cs for feedback on any items that they believe should be considered that
>>>>>> may not have been specifically called out in the approved charter.
>>>>>>
>>>>>> As this will be a complex multi-phase PDP, all those interested in
>>>>>> helping to shape the policy framework for a next-generation gTLD RDS are
>>>>>> encouraged to volunteer for this WG. Only with the help of the entire
>>>>>> community can this WG achieve its goal of formally defining an appropriate
