For those interested in the replacement for WHOIS process which started last December, here is the update and latest workplan which I just sent to the GNSO Council.  There has been a great deal of contention surrounding the order in which we are attacking the policy issues, with many of us on the privacy side attempting unsuccessfully to insist that the actual purpose of the collection, use and disclosure of registration data be determined before we start collecting everyone's wish list for data elements.  However, we soldier on, and if anyone is interested in tuning in to the open meetings listed below which are due to take place in Helsinki on the 27th and 28th of June, please feel free to do so.  The dialin instructions are available on the agenda here https://meetings.icann.org/en/icann56-sched.  Simply click on the agenda item.  We would be delighted to see everyone in Helsinki, if you can possibly attend.  Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions.

Kind regards,

Stephanie Perrin

NCSG Councillor

Dear All,

 

Please find attached the latest edition of the RDS PDP Monthly Update, prepared by Marika (thanks as always!). This update as well as previous ones can also be found on the WG wiki: https://community.icann.org/x/_RmOAw.

 

The workplan has been approved and we are making progress on it.   The latest version can be found here:   https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=56986784.

The issue of order of work items has been debated at some length, but we are working through the various items and have a significant list of potential requirements for the system.

The group will be meeting  at 3:00 to 4:30 on Monday (Hall A), and at 8:00-12:00 on Tuesday (Hall B).  You are most welcome to attend; the agenda as you know is packed but this is of course an important policy development worth checking in on.

Kind regards,
Stephanie Perrin
