FW: ICANN and Registrar Negotiation Team Post Summary of RAA Negotiations

[Wendy Seltzer]

I'm very concerned by item 1 (below):

We should work to see the language and to ensure that it would not
exclude the registration of names on another's behalf by an agent
committed to protecting privacy, such as an attorney.

LEA REQUEST 1: (a) If ICANN creates a Privacy/Proxy Accreditation
Service, Registrars will accept proxy/privacy registrations only
from accredited providers; (b) “Registrants using privacy/proxy
registration services will have authentic Whois information
immediately published by Registrar when registrant is found to be
violating terms of service”

Agreement in Principle: (a) Yes (b) Yes
Agreement on Language: (a) Yes (b) No

Notes/Comments
(a) Registrars will comply with commercially reasonable privacy/proxy
accreditation scheme

(b) “Reveal” or “relay” provisions will be included in a
proxy/privacy accreditation program.

(c) Further discussion needed to address
request for “publication” of underlying
data to general public, which may raise
data protection issues.

(d) Further discussion required on issues
related to escrow of underlying data,
issues related to unidentified, informal
proxy service providers, determination
that registrant is violating terms of
service

After the Board directed ICANN and the Registrars<http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/resolutions-28oct11-en.htm#7> to proceed into negotiations regarding recommendations by law enforcement<http://www.icann.org/en/resources/registrars/raa/raa-law-enforcement-recommendations-01mar12-en.pdf> [PDF, 111 KB] and recommendations from the GNSO, negotiations proceeded at a brisk pace, with 13 negotiation sessions held to date. There are many topics where ICANN and the Registrar Negotiation Team are close to agreement on language, and even more topics where there is agreement in principle. Because of the comprehensive nature of the amendments, it is expected that all negotiated language will be posted a
s a unified document after further negotiation.
