> *In Brief*
>
> The Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council seeks
> volunteers to serve on a PDP Working Group to establish a policy
> framework for a next-generation gTLD Registration Directory Service
> (RDS) to replace WHOIS (Next-Gen RDS). The GNSO Council approved the
> WG's charter <http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#201511>
> on 19 November 2015, tasking this PDP to address concerns with WHOIS
> by creating a new policy framework capable of balancing diverse
> interests to meet today's needs for gTLD registration data.
>
> *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 next-generation RDS is needed, (2) design policies that
> detail functions that must be provided by a next-generation RDS to
> support those requirements, and (3) provide guidance for how a
> next-generation RDS should implement those policies, coexisting with
> and eventually replacing WHOIS.
> This PDP WG will provide the GNSO Council with policy
> recommendations regarding the issues identified in the Final Issue
> Report
> <
> https://whois.icann.org/sites/default/files/files/final-issue-report-next-generation-rds-07oct15-en.pdf

> [PDF, 1.4 MB] and as defined in the charter approved 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 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
> framework and next-generation RDS are required, the PDP WG will then
> proceed to Phases 2 and 3, recommending a new consensus policy
> framework to satisfy requirements for a next-generation RDS
> established in Phase 1, along with any necessary coexistence and
> implementation guidance. Further detail regarding this 3-phase
> process and questions to be considered can be found in the PDP
> WG’s charter.

> *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.
>

>
> *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:

>
> *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
> <

> 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.
