[NCUC-DISCUSS] [Meeting Report] PIR Advisory Council

[farzaneh badii]

Dear All,

Here is my brief note of PIR meeting. Please note that some aspects of the
meeting were confidential so I cannot report on them. PIR is the registry
for .org and .NGO and NCUC get to appoint an AC member to represent NCUC.

Here is the brief:

- The advisory council role was discussed. It was agreed that the AC has to
have an active role and provide recommendations on various issues related
to PIR

- I emphasized on stronger and enhanced communication between Staff, Board
and Advisory Council.

- We raised the issue of GDPR and I relayed Ayden's questions. PIR will
come up with a plan to comply with GDPR. PIR is also active in the RDS
group. Staff advised us that they are open to suggestions and
recommendations with this regard.

- PIR discussed its abuse and take down policy. It emphasized that its
abuse and take down policy is predominantly technical unless there are
obvious child abuse websites which will be taken down.

- SCADR is shelved But they want to have a dialogue about it and they want
to know how to re-open the issue in the future if they need to. My
impression is that the issue is closed for the moment and they are asking
the AC to advise them on how to seek public consultation on any policy
issue.

- Since AC was advised about SCADR very late, we raised the point that this
should not have happened and in the future, there should be more briefing
of AC. Fortunately, there is now a Board liaison to AC and I also asked if
we could be observers of the Board meetings.


- The meeting also focused on .NGO and how to encourage more domain
registration in .NGO. Here is the PIR toolkit  for NGOs http://toolkit.ngo/
