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 [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 contains an interim Specification on Privacy & Proxy
Registrations 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] if you wish to attend and to receive details about logging on to the webinar.
