Call for RSVPs | Privacy & Proxy Services Accreditation Issues
Working Group Webinar | 28 May 2015 at 14:00 UTC
19 May 2015
Please RSVP to [log in to unmask]
<mailto:[log in to unmask]>. Remote participation
details will be sent the week of 25 May 2015.
Please join the interim co-chairs of the Privacy & Proxy Services
Accreditation Issues Working Group for a one-hour webinar on Thursday 28
May 2015 at 1400 UTC, to hear about the preliminary recommendations that
have now been published for public comment by the Working Group.
This Working Group (WG) was chartered
<http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/raa-pp-charter-22oct13-en.pdf> [PDF,
463 KB] by the GNSO Council in October 2013 to conduct a Policy
Development Process (PDP) with the aim of developing policy
recommendations to guide ICANN's implementation of an Accreditation
Program for privacy and proxy service providers. The topic of privacy
and proxy registrations had been identified upon the conclusion of
ICANN's negotiations with the Registrars Stakeholder Group for a new
Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA) as an issue that remained
unresolved and that would be suited for a PDP. The 2013 RAA
<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/approved-with-specs-2013-09-17-en> contains
an interim Specification on Privacy & Proxy Registrations
<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/approved-with-specs-2013-09-17-en#privacy-proxy> that
is due to expire on 1 January 2017.
The WG's Initial Report, containing a number of detailed preliminary
recommendations and several open questions for which it is seeking
community input, was published for public comment on 5 May 2015. The
announcement, forum for submitting comments, and a copy of the WG's
Initial Report can be found here:
https://www.icann.org/public-comments/ppsai-initial-2015-05-05-en. The
WG's preliminary recommendations include: (i) requiring that accredited
providers expressly include certain mandatory provisions in their
customer terms of service; (ii) an obligation to relay initial
electronic requests seeking to contact a customer; (iii) an illustrative
framework for the handling of requests from trademark and copyright
owners for the disclosure of customer contact information; and (iv)
steps regarding provider de-accreditation. Open questions on which the
WG has yet to reach consensus include the escalation of relay requests,
how to deal with disclosure requests received from law enforcement and
other third parties other than intellectual property rights-holders, and
whether domain names associated with online financial transactions
should be able to use privacy or proxy registrations.
This webinar will highlight the WG's preliminary recommendations and
open questions, including an opportunity to ask questions of the interim
co-chairs. All are welcome; please reply to [log in to unmask]
