>> The PDP WG will use a 3-phase process defined in the

>> <http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/whois-ng-gtld-rds-charter-07oct15-en.pdf>to

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

>> by the GNSO Council
>> <http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/whois-ng-gtld-rds-charter-07oct15-en.pdf>
>> [PDF, 628 KB]. Specifically, this PDP WG is tasked

>> 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

>> During the first phase of this PDP, the PDP WG will,
>> at a minimum, attempt to reach consensus

>> the PDP WG’s charter. The PDP WG’s output will
>> then be submitted to the GNSO Council for approval of

>> <https://community.icann.org/display/gTLDRDS/Next-Generation+gTLD+Registration+Directory+Services+to+Replace+Whois>.

>> [PDF, 350 KB] as well as the GNSO PDP Manual.
>>
>> *How to participate *
>>
>> There are two ways to volunteer:
>> Individual Members – anyone interested cann volunteer
>> to join the PDP WG as a WG member, regardless of
>> whether they are members of the ICANN community.
>> Members are expected to actively contribute to
>> mailing list conversations as well as meetings – it
>> is anticipated tthat the PDP WG will at a minimum
>> meet on a weekly basis via teleconference. Members
>> are expected to provide essential input to the
>> process. Members will be required to provide a
>> Statement of Interest (SOI
>> <https://community.icann.org/display/gnsosoi/New+SOIs>).
>> Mailing list observers – for those who are merely
>> interested in monitoring thhe WG’s conversations,
>> there is the possibility to sign up as a mailing list
>> "observer" which offers read-only access to the
>> mailing list. Mailing list observers will not be
>> permitted to post, will not receive invitations to
>> the various meetings or calls of the WG and will not
>> have to complete a Statement of Interest. At any
>> point in time, a mailing list observer can join the
>> WG as a member simply by informing the GNSO Secretariat.
>> In addition, there will be opportunities to provide
>> input through public consultations and public comment
>> processes that the PDP WG is expected to organize.
>>
>> *How to Join*
>>
>> If you are interested in joining the WG as an
>> individual participant or mailing list observer,
>> please fill in the sign up form
>> <http://goo.gl/forms/bb65iIznLv> or send the Word
>> document
>> <http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/gnso-pdp-next-gen-rds-wg-sign-up-04jan16-en.docx>
>> [DOCX, 72 KB] filled in to the GNSO Secretariat
>> <mailto:[log in to unmask]>
>> All members and observers will be listed on the PDP
>> WG's wiki page.
>>
>> *Next steps*
>>
>> In its motion, the GNSO Council directed that this
>> call for volunteers be circulated as widely as
>> possible in order to ensure broad representation and
>> participation in the WG. This call will remain open
>> until the WG convenes for the first time. At this
>> juncture, it is anticipated that the PDP WG may
>> convene online in late January 2015. Following that,
>> regular online meetings will be scheduled in
>> accordance with the PDP WG’s work plan, which it is
>> expected to develop as one of its first tasks.
>>
>> *Further information and preparation*
>> For those interested in volunteering for this effort,
>> you are strongly encouraged to review the following
>> materials prior to the first meeting of the PDP WG:
>> The Final Issue Report
>> <https://whois.icann.org/sites/default/files/files/final-issue-report-next-generation-rds-07oct15-en.pdf>
>>
>> The approved charter
>> <http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/whois-ng-gtld-rds-charter-07oct15-en.pdf>
>>
>> Materials available at the PDP WG's wiki
>> <https://community.icann.org/display/gTLDRDS/Next-Generation+gTLD+Registration+Directory+Services+to+Replace+Whois>
>> such as the EWG Final Report and other relevant
>> information.
>>
>>
>> *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 purpose of gTLD
>> registration data and establishing a new policy
>> framework to enable permissible access to that data
>> with improved privacy and accuracy.
