PDP on Next-Generation gTLD Registration Directory

Services to Replace WHOIS - Update

Marika Konings – ICANN-54 – 17 October, 2015

| 2

On 26 May, 2015, the ICANN Board passed a resolution Adopting the Process Framework developed by the EP-WG, and Reaffirming its 2012 request for a Board-initiated PDP to define the purpose of

collecting, maintaining and providing access to gTLD registration data, and to consider safeguards for protecting data, using the recommendations in the EWG's Final Report as an input to, and, if appropriate, as the foundation for a new gTLD policy.

Staff published this Preliminary Issue Report for public comment on 13 July, following the approach outlined by the Process Framework

12 Comments were submitted (see https://www.icann.org/public-comments/rds-prelim-issue-2015-07-13-en)

The Final Issue Report, published on 7 October, incorporates suggested clarifications, corrections, and enhancements to Issue Report (see http://whois.icann.org/sites/default/files/files/final-issue-report-next-generation-rds-07oct15-en.pdf)

The board-adopted Process Framework was incorporated into the Draft Charter for a PDP WG on a Next-Generation gTLD RDS:http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/whois-ng-gtld-rds-charter-07oct15-en.pdf

This Framework identified Pre-PDP WG Steps: Completed: New Issue Report (including needed inputs and draft PDP

WG Charter); Public Comment; Final Issue Report Remaining: GNSO Council consideration; PDP WG formation

Followed by PDP WG, grouped and sequenced into 3 phases:

Phase 1: Policy Requirements Definition (IF & WHY) Phase 2: Policy Functional Design (WHAT) Phase 3: Implementation Guidance (HOW)

Post-WG Steps: GNSO Council and Board Approval; IRT Formation; Implementation, informed by PDP WG guidance

Draft Charter reflects the Process Framework

Draft Charter: Mission & Scope – Decision Point

Note: As the PDP progresses, if the GNSO decides to develop a new

consensus policy framework, BWG-RDS

guidance will be needed regarding

impact on and leveraging of other

on-going ICANN efforts, including

legacy WHOIS activities

corresponding to the Board’s two-prong

approach.
