Call for participation - Privacy & Proxy Services Accreditation Issues 
Policy Development Process (PDP) Implementation Review Team (IRT)

On 9 August 2016, the ICANN Board of Directors adopted 
<https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2016-08-09-en#2.e> 
the recommendations of the Privacy & Proxy Services Accreditation Issues 
Policy Development Process (PDP) Working Group as listed in its Final 
Report <http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/raa/ppsai-final-07dec15-en.pdf>. 
Staff from the Global Domains Division (GDD)—responsible for leading the 
implementation of the policy recommendations—is hereby issuing a call 
for volunteers to form an Implementation Review Team (IRT) to work with 
staff to implement the policy recommendations adopted by the Board.

This call for IRT volunteers is for the attention of the members of the 
Privacy & Proxy Services Accreditation Issues PDP Working Group at a 
minimum. However, other members of the community who did not participate 
on the IRT are also invited to**the IRT. The key responsibilities of the 
IRT are as follows:

?Work with ICANN staff to ensure that the implementation fulfills the 
original intentions of the adopted policy recommendations

?Review the proposed implementation work plan, as drafted by staff, for 
the recommendations as adopted by the Board

?Assist in case questions regarding the PDP or a need for 
clarification**arises in relation to the adopted recommendations

?Advise on technical and operational details related to the 
implementation of the adopted**recommendations

Familiarity with the policy recommendations as well as the deliberations 
that informed those recommendations is a minimum requirement for IRT 
members. IRT volunteers should be able to attend regularly scheduled IRT 
meetings for the duration of this project. Staff currently 
anticipates**that this implementation project could take up to 18-24 
months to complete.

All volunteers responding to this call will be expected to understand 
the role and remit of the IRT for the implementation project. If, in the 
course of implementation, the IRT identifies a need for**potential 
modifications to the policy recommendations, the team must refer these 
to the GNSO Council for its consideration and additional guidance.

*How to Apply*

If you are interested in participating, please send an email to the GNSO 
Secretariat via [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> no 
later than 30 September 2016, 11:59 UTC.

*Background*

The Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA) is the contract that governs 
the relationship between ICANN and its accredited registrars (a 
directory of accredited registrars can be found 
athttp://www.internic.net/regist.html). The RAA also may have impacts on 
registrants and other third parties involved in the domain name system.

In initiating negotiations for the 2013 RAA between ICANN and the 
Registrars Stakeholder Group in October 2011, the ICANN Board had also 
requested an Issue Report from the GNSO that would start a GNSO Policy 
Development Process (PDP) to address remaining issues not dealt with in 
the RAA negotiations and that would be suited to a PDP (the Board's 
Resolution can be found at 
http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/resolutions-28oct11-en.htm#7). 
In June 2013, the ICANN Board approved a new 2013 RAA (the provisions of 
which can be found 
at**http://www.icann.org/en/resources/registrars/raa/approved-with-specs-27jun13-en.pdf) 
<http://www.icann.org/en/resources/registrars/raa/approved-with-specs-27jun13-en.pdf%29>, 
and this PDP was launched in October 2013.

**

The Final Recommendations of the Privacy & Proxy Services Accreditation 
Issues PDP Working Group, which GDD is now preparing to implement, are 
the consensus outcomes**of that PDP. Once implemented, this Privacy and 
Proxy Services accreditation program will supersede requirements in the 
2013 RAA’s Specification on Privacy and Proxy Registrations 
<https://www.icann.org/en/resources/registrars/raa/approved-with-specs-27jun13-en.htm#privacy-proxy>.

Kind regards,

Michelle DeSmyter
