Dear SO/AC:

 

This is a reminder that the */Expert Working Group on gTLD Directory
Services (EWG)
<https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=40175189>/* will
be holding a webinar on how to participate in its recently launched
Registration Directory Service (RDS) Risk Survey:

 

*Date:* Wednesday, 16 April 2014
*Time:* 19:00-20:30 UTC (time converter: http://tinyurl.com/n9rsmfx)

* *

*Date:* Thursday, 17 April 2014

*Time:* 12:00-13:30 UTC (time converter: http://tinyurl.com/ouzekzx)

 

If you provide or use gTLD domain name registration data (today known as
Whois), please consider responding to this survey to share your unique
perspective on potential risks and benefits associated with the EWG's
proposed RDS, should ICANN choose to implement such as system to replace
Whois.

 

Today, anyone can query Whois to identify the organization or individual
responsible for an Internet domain name, known as a Registrant, along
with their postal address, email address, and telephone number. The EWG
was asked to re-examine the purpose and provision of this information,
envisioning a clean-slate approach to meet global Internet community
needs with greater privacy, accuracy, and accountability. The EWG's
proposed next generation RDS would collect, validate and disclose
registration information for permissible purposes only, with some values
remaining public and others being gated -- that is, returned only to
authorized users with legitimate purposes.

 

At this point, the RDS is simply a proposal being refined by the EWG
for ICANN Board and community consideration. If you are one of the many
different individuals, businesses, and other organizations that consume
Whois data today, or a domain name Registrant, Registrar, or Registry
that provides Whois data today, please participate in this survey. This
survey is a chance to tell the EWG about the risks and benefits that the
recommended RDS might have for YOU.

 

All risks and benefits identified through this survey will be published
in aggregated, anonymized form and used by the EWG to refine its
recommendations and as input to a full risk assessment.
