Call for
participation - Privacy & Proxy Services Accreditation
Issues Policy Development Process (PDP) Implementation Review
Team (IRT)
On 9 August
2016, the ICANN Board of Directors
adopted
the recommendations of the Privacy & Proxy Services
Accreditation Issues Policy Development Process (PDP) Working
Group as listed in its
Final
Report. Staff from the Global Domains Division
(GDD)—responsible for leading the implementation of the policy
recommendations—is hereby issuing a call for volunteers to
form an Implementation Review Team (IRT) to work with staff to
implement the policy recommendations adopted by the Board.
This call for
IRT volunteers is for the attention of the members of the
Privacy & Proxy Services Accreditation Issues PDP Working
Group at a minimum. However, other members of the community
who did not participate on the IRT are also invited to the IRT. The key
responsibilities of the IRT are as follows:
?
Work with ICANN staff to ensure
that the implementation fulfills the original intentions of
the adopted policy recommendations
?
Review the proposed
implementation work plan, as drafted by staff, for the
recommendations as adopted by the Board
?
Assist in case questions
regarding the PDP or a need for clarification
arises in relation to the adopted recommendations
?
Advise on technical and
operational details related to the implementation of the
adopted
recommendations
Familiarity with the policy recommendations as well as the
deliberations that informed those recommendations is a minimum
requirement for IRT members. IRT volunteers should be able to
attend regularly scheduled IRT meetings for the duration of
this project. Staff currently anticipates that this
implementation project could take up to 18-24 months to
complete.
All volunteers responding to this call will be expected to
understand the role and remit of the IRT for the
implementation project. If, in the course of implementation,
the IRT identifies a need for
potential modifications to the policy recommendations, the
team must refer these to the GNSO Council for its
consideration and additional guidance.
How to Apply
If you are interested in participating, please send an email

Background
The
Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA) is the contract that
governs the relationship between ICANN and its accredited
registrars (a directory of accredited registrars can be
found at http://www.internic.net/regist.html). The RAA also
may have impacts on registrants and other third parties
involved in the domain name system.
In
initiating negotiations for the 2013 RAA between ICANN and
the Registrars Stakeholder Group in October 2011, the ICANN
Board had also requested an Issue Report from the GNSO that
would start a GNSO Policy Development Process (PDP) to
address remaining issues not dealt with in the RAA
negotiations and that would be suited to a PDP (the Board's
Resolution can be found at
http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/resolutions-28oct11-en.htm#7). In June
2013, the ICANN Board approved a new 2013 RAA (the
provisions of which can be found at
http://www.icann.org/en/resources/registrars/raa/approved-with-specs-27jun13-en.pdf),
and this PDP was launched in October 2013.
The Final Recommendations of the Privacy
& Proxy Services Accreditation Issues PDP Working Group,
which GDD is now preparing to implement, are the consensus
outcomes
of that PDP. Once implemented, this Privacy and Proxy
Services accreditation program will supersede requirements in
the
2013 RAA’s Specification on
Privacy and Proxy Registrations.
Kind regards,
Michelle DeSmyter
