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.
