SO/AC Leaders,



Please find, below, the descriptions for the cross-community sessions on
GDPR at ICANN 62.  I welcome the opportunity to work with you on
identifying panelists from your community to represent any interests that
you have on the topics.



We have identified some panelists and have already reached out to confirm
their participation. We would appreciate if the Registrar Stakeholder
Group, the Registry Stakeholder Group and the NCSG in particular could put
names forward for consideration for either or both panels.



*Session 1:  WHOIS/RDS Policy – Post-GDPR Developments and Next Steps
(Tuesday June 26, 2018; 15:15 – 16:45 local time)*



Moderator: Brian Winterfeldt



*Description*: The European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has
precipitated significant changes to the registration data directory
service, currently known as WHOIS. Most recently, the ICANN Board adopted a
Temporary Specification implementing an ICANN Org-driven interim GDPR
compliance model for WHOIS.  However, the Temporary Specification may only
be in effect for up to one year, and triggered an expedited policy
development process to create a new ICANN Consensus Policy concerning gTLD
registration data directory service.  However, efforts to reach community
consensus regarding updating the WHOIS system has historically been rife
with challenges.  With the adoption of the Temporary Specification, the
community has a new opportunity, with specific milestones, to try and
devise an “ultimate model” for a next-generation registration data
directory service that meets the needs of various stakeholders with a
legitimate interest in domain name registration data, while also respecting
applicable privacy and data protection laws.  In this cross-community
session, panelists will engage with the community to discuss the key policy
changes resulting from the Temporary Specification, and how to move forward
with developing a final Consensus Policy that moves beyond the temporary
policy toward a more permanent solution for the RDDS.





*Session 2: Accreditation and Access to Non-Public WHOIS Data Post-GDPR
(Tuesday June 26, 2018; 17:00 – 18:30 local time)*



Moderator: Steve DelBianco



*Description*: Under the Temporary Specification passed by the ICANN Board
implementing the interim GDPR compliance model, there is a placeholder for
an accreditation system to facilitate uniform access to non-public WHOIS
data by appropriate users for legitimate purposes.  Under the current
iteration of the Temporary Specification, contracted parties must provide
access to non-public registration data for the legitimate purposes
specified in Section 4 of the Temporary Specification, unless the request
for access is outweighed by the domain name registrant’s fundamental right
to privacy.  Article 29 Working Party issued a statement encouraging ICANN
to develop an access model for  and this statement was endorsed by the
European Data Protection Board (EDPB). Currently, there is no uniform
system for approving legitimate users to obtain access to non-public
registration data in connection with such legitimate purposes, and
streamlining the process so it is less burdensome for contracted parties
who otherwise must perform ad hoc individual review of each request for
data.  It is urgent that ICANN and the community come together to push
forward a workable credentialed access system for non-public WHOIS data for
legitimate purposes with a fundamental role in preserving the security and
stability of the Internet’s unique identifier systems.  In this
cross-community session, panelists will engage with the community to
discuss work to date on developing a credentialed access system for
non-public registration data, and seek to generate ideas for next steps for
integrating such a system into a future iteration of the Temporary
Specification or as part of the expedited policy development process to
devise a Consensus Policy for RDDS.





Thank you for your participation, and thank you to Cyrus for helping us
facilitate cross-community participation.



Best,


Brian
